Question 1A boutique fruit juice manufacturer produces 2 types of juices, Apple and Fig daily with a total costfunction: TC = 6A + A × F +9Fwhere:A is the quantity of the Apple juice (in kegs) andF is the quantity of the Fig juice (in kegs).The prices that can be charged are determined by supply and demand forces and are influenced bythe quantities of each type of juice according to the following equations:P₁ = 17-A + F for the price (in dollars per keg) of the Apple juice andPF = 23+2A-F for the price (in dollars per keg) of the Fig juice.The total revenue is given by the equation:TR = PAXA + PF XFand the profit given by the equationProfit = TR - TCFirst, use a substitution of the price variables to express the profit in terms of A and F only.Using the method of Lagrange Multipliers find the maximum profit when total production (quantity)is restricted to 2023 kegs. Note A or F need not be whole numbers.Be sure to show that your solution is a maximum point.

A boutique fruit juice manufacturer produces 2 types of juices, Apple and Fig daily with a total cost function: TC = 6A + A x F +9F where: A is the quantity of the Apple juice (in kegs) and F is the quantity of the Fig juice (in kegs). The prices that can be charged are determined by supply and demand forces and are influenced by the quantities of each type of juice according to the following equations: P₁ = 17-A + F for the price (in dollars per keg) of the Apple juice and P = 23+2A-F for the price (in dollars per keg) of the Fig juice. TR= P. The total revenue is given by the equation: P. X F

A retail chain will buy 900 cordless phones if the price is $30 each and 800 if the price is $40. A wholesaler will supply 350 phones at $40 each and 1400 at $70 each. Assuming that the supply and demand functions are linear, find the market equilibrium point and explain what it means.
Ethanol, a fuel, is made from corn. Ethanol production increased 9.1 times from 2000 to 2019 (https://ethanolrfa.org/statistics/annual-ethanolproduction/). What effect did this increased use of corn for producing ethanol have on the price of corn and the consumption of corn as food? 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw either a new demand curve (D₂) or a new supply curve (S₂) that shows how the increased use of corn for producing ethanol affects the market for corn as food. Properly label this line. 2.) Use the point drawing tool to indicate the new market equilibrium. Label this point 'e₂'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. $, price of corn Q₁ Q, quantity of corn as food S₁ D₁
Suppose the market for cat food is perfectly competitive, with each firm having the total cost function TC (Q) = 36Q -Q2 +³, where Q is the firm's output of cat food in tens of 100 pounds. The associated average cost and marginal cost functions are AC(Q) = 36 –Q + m 0? and MC(Q) = 36 –Q +Q?. Total demand in the market is given by D(P) = 100 100 2400 – 40P, where P is the price of ten pounds of cat food. Find the long run competitive equilibrium in the cat food market, i.e. the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by each firm and number of firms operating in the market.
Consider a demand and supply scenario for 3-D glasses. An independent contracting firm was so kind and estimated the supply curve as a function of the quantity x as s(x)=.06x2 + 1.8 x + 60 and the demand as d(x)= -.075 x2 – 1.5x +180. a) Solve for the equilibrium quantity and price. What condition has to hold in an equilibrium? For full credit you must show ALL steps of your algebra. b) Graph the supply and demand curve. Clearly mark the proper price and quantity intercept. Show how you calculated the intercepts.
This question deals with cost curves Keep in mind that the formula for a firm's cost function is: TC= FC + C(Q) TC → Total Costs: FC →Fixed Costs: C(Q) → Cost of production*Quantity produced → also known as Variable Costs Q1: Firms A and B are two firms supplying products in two separate differentiated goods markets. Equations (1) and (2) give the total cost functions of the two firms: - Firm A: TC = 2Q --- Equation (1) - Firm B: TC = 10 + 2Q --- Equation (2) Each firm has the ability to produce a maximum quantity of 80,000 units in ten batches of 8,000. The cost per unit in each firm is $2. Firm B has a fixed cost of $10. (a) Explain the relationship between the zero-profit curve and the marginal cost curve for the two firms using the quantity schedule of the two firms and the relevant plots of equations (1) and (2).

For the pizza seller whose marginal, average variable, and average total cost curves are shown in the graph below, what is the profit-maximizing level of output and how much profit will this producer earn if the price of pizza is $1.50 per slice?Instructions: In the graph below, label all three curves by clicking on the dropdown to select the appropriate label. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to include a negative sign (−). When the price is $1.50 per slice, the profit-maximizing level of output is slices per day. Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). At the profit-maximizing level of output, the producer's profit is: $ per day.
