3. The Deatherfuster Cleaning Company receives a report from a consulting firm indicating that the demand function for its office-cleaning service is Q= 140– P+A where Q is the number of service days purchased, P is the price of the service (in dollars per day) and A is the firm's advertising expenditure in dollars. The firm's total cost function for cleaning services is TC = 0.25Q² , where TC is total cost in dollars. A. What are the firm's profit-maximizing levels for price and output?

12. A firm’s production is represented by the following function: Q = L0.4 K0.6 . The rental rate of capital (r) is $30 and the wage rate (w) is $5. For a given level of output, what should be the ratio of capital to labor in order to minimize costs? How much capital and labor should be used to produce 600 units of output? What is the total cost? What is the short run total cost if output is decreased to 300 units? What would be the optimal choice of capital and labor in the long run in order to produce 300 units of output? What is the long-run total cost? Does this production function exhibit increasing, decreasing, or constant returns to scale? Please answer based on the cost calculations in parts c and d.
Would a cost function of 0 mean a linear line of supply curve? For example if 10 firms are on the market selling 10 goods and the cost function is 0?
A Chinese high technology manufacturing firm has a production function of 0.80 0.20 q=16L (based on Zhang, et al., 2012). It faces prices of w=$8 and r= $2. What are its short-run average variable and marginal cost curves? Let K be fixed in the short run. The firm's short-run average variable cost curve, AVC, as a function of K and q is AVC=$ (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcute. E.g., a superscript can be created with the character.) Write AVC and MC functions
Your firm "We Work Eot U" rents access to shared open office spaces for a price of S540 per year. The market is perfectly competitive as consumers have many of these "We Work" rental companies to choose from. Your firm's total revenue function is written: TR = (540) Q. The total cost function is written: TC = 80,000+ 40Q + 0.5Q? a. To maximize profits, what is the optimal number of office spaces to rent? Show your work. b. How much (in dollars) are total profits at the profit-maximizing output level? Show your work. c. In the long run, assuming no barriers to entry and exit into this industry, what will happen to profits and to the market price?
Habib Bank Limited estimates equation of demand of its product as: Q = 55 – 0.5P - (where P = price and Q = Quantity of output), and its total cost of production as TC = 20 + Q + 0.2Q2 Where TC = total cost and Q = Quantity of output) Write the equations of the firm’s costs, as a function of Q: Average Total Cost ATC? Average Variable Cost AVC? Average Fixed Cost AFC.? Marginal Cost MC?

The output level that minimizes average total cost.? please answer all questions
Suppose a firm engaged in the illegal copying of DVD’s has a daily short run total cost function given by: STC = (q^2)+25 If pirated DVD’s sell for $20, how many will the firm copy each day? What will its profits be? What is the firm’s short run producer surplus at P=20? Develop a general expression for this firm’s producer surplus as a function of the price of pirated DVD’s.
A company produces very unusual CD's for which the variable cost is $ 15 per CD and the fixed costs are $ 50000. They will sell the CD's for $ 79 each. Let a be the number of CD's produced.
