**Company's Short-Run Production Decision**A company produces two products. Below are the details of the costs and revenues associated with each product:- **FC** = Total Fixed Costs = $580- **VC₁** = Variable Costs from Product 1 = $920- **VC₂** = Variable Costs from Product 2 = $805- **TR₁** = Revenue from Product 1 = $900- **TR₂** = Revenue from Product 2 = $900**Decision Question:**In the short run, what should the firm do?**Options:**- Produce product 1 but not 2- Produce product 2 but not 1- Produce both- Produce neitherWhen making decisions in the short run, the firm needs to consider the relationship between costs and revenues to determine which product(s) to continue producing. It should ideally produce the product or combination of products that maximizes profit or minimizes losses.

Short run is the time period having at least one factor of production fixed.

A company produces two products. FC = Total Fixed costs = $580 VC₁= variable costs from product 1 = $920 VC₂= variable costs from product 2 = $805 TR₁ revenue from product 1 = $900 TR₂= revenues from product 2 = $900 In the short run, what should the firm do? O Produce product 1 but not 2 O Produce product 2 but not 1 O Produce both O Produce neither

Refer to the graph shown. If a firm expected to produce 900 units when it built its plant but now desires to reduce its output to 600 units in the short run, it will use the plant size represented by: 0 300 O Multiple Choice O 600 00 SATC₁ Quantity SATC₁. SATC2. SATC3 SATC2 SATC3 SATC₂ SATCA. 900 L 1200 SATC Long-Run Average Cost 1500 Refer to the graph shown. A firm that shifts from SATC₁ to SATC2 is most likely to do so because planned output increases: Cost per unit 0 300 600 SATC₁ Multiple Choice 900 1200 1500 Quantity SATC₂ SATC2 SATC₂ to 300, from 300 to 900. from 300 to 600. SATC Long-Run Average Cost from 600 to 900.

Ike's Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company's short-run average total cost each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.) Average Total Cost (Dollars per bike) Number of Factories Q = 100 O = 200 O = 300 Q = 400 O = 500 O = 600 1 260 200 160 200 280 400 2 330 240 160 160 240 330 400 280 200 160 200 260 Suppose Ike's Bikes is currently producing 100 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is $ per bike. kes Suppose Ike's Bikes is expecting to produce 100 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce using On the following graph, plot the three short-run average total cost curves (SRATC) for Ike's Bikes from the previous…

What is the correct answer?
Product Price = Quantity Sold = Explicit Costs Implicit Costs = = $30 5 units $42 $18 Referring to the above table, it can be concluded that: O Economic Costs are $24. O Economic Profit is $210. O Economic Loss is $30. O Economic Profit is $90.
Marginal cost is average variable cost when O a. equal to; average variable cost is minimized. O b. greater than; average fixed cost is minimized O c. equal to; average total cost is minimized O d. less than; total cost is maximized If Mark produces five pairs of earrings, his total costs are Number of TVC MC AVC TFC TC Earnings 100 1 50 2 3 46.67 4 300 5 270 O a. $320.
