above for Figure 11-5. Suppose that the Hoang family, like many farmers in Vietnam, incur a transactions cost equivalent to 20% per ton of rice if they sell in regional markets. Why? Because of the high costs associated with water irrigation in rice production and of transporting rice from farms across bad rural roads. When the Hoang household produces and sells rice, its net loss in profit relative (i.e., net change in producer surplus) is equal to? $950 O -$1,053 $5,225 O $3,000 $1,880 Figure 11-5 Price ($ per ton) $288 Sa (village) $180 Regional price $162 $144 $36 Da (village) Quantity (tons of rice) 54 63 72

Suppose that you are one of rubber producers (sellers) in the perfectly competitive market in Thailand. Make it simple: suppose there are two types of used inputs consisting of land and workers. Assume that, in short-run production, you operate on a fixed size of a land and the cost of renting the land is 2 Baht per day. The table (A) below shows the relationship between the quantity of rubber produced by your company per day and costs of workers per day. The goal of your firm is to maximize (minimize) profits (losses).Table (A) The Quantity of rubber (units) produced per day Costs of workers per day in baht ATC AVC MC 0 0 1 5 2 9 3 12 4 14 5 15 6 18 7 22 8 27 9 33 10 40 Answer the following questions 1.

If You are the owner and only employee of a company that writes computer software that is used by gamblers to collect sports data. Last year you earned a total revenue of $90,000. Your costs for equipment, rent, and supplies were $60,000. To start this business you invested an amount of your own capital that could pay you a return of $40,000 a year. then your accounting profit is: Select one: a. 20,000 Ob. 30,000 O c. 40,000 O d. 10,000 O e. 60,000
8. A commodity has price demand function p(x)= 11800 - .01x and each unit costs 1000 and the overhead is 5000. a) what is the revenue function, cost function and profit function ? b) what price should be charged to maximize profits? c) what is the marginal profit for x=400 ? Explain what this marginal profit number means.
At these levels of output the marginal revenue in the manufactured items market is and the marginal revenue in the semimanufactured raw materials market is . At these prices, the price elasticity of demand in the manufactured items market is and the the price elasticity of demand in the semimanufactured raw materials market is . (Hint: ED=PMR−P��=�MR−�) What are the total profits if the company is effectively able to charge different prices in the two markets? . If the company is required by law to charge the same per-ton rate to all users, the new profit-maximizing level of price and output are per ton and tons respectively. The total profits in this situation is .
Question 15 (1 point) Suppose you are an analyst for the Coca-Cola Company. An individual's inverse demand for Coca-Cola is estimated to be P = 98 - 4Q (in cents). If Coca-Cola is produced according to the cost function C(Q) = 1,000 + 20Q (in cents), compute the surplus consumers receive when Coca-Cola charges the optimal block price. %3D $11.52 (1,152 cents) $0 $576 (57,600 cents) $1,152 (115,200 cents)
Use the graph above to answer these questions: What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is the economic profit? What is the per-unit amount of profit at the profit-maximizing level of output?
Please see how I've responded to the 2 questions below...Do you concur are am I off track here. What will the dollar amount of economic gain or economic loss be? The amount of loss would be Quantity*(ATC-Price)= 9*(17.5-16)=$13.5 What will be the price and quantity where the firm will shut down? Price where there is not able to recover average variable cost in the market. Shut down price is $12 and Quantity is 7 units

Two months ago, on July 1, 2019, the State of Illinois raised gasoline taxes by $.19 (19 cents) per gallon of gas Question 3: For this question, please model the short-run impact of this tax on a typical Illinois gas station. The horizontal axis will be qgas (the output of this particular producer) and the vertical axis will measure price in dollars, $. This firm is subject to the Law of Diminishing Marginal Product. Begin by graphically depicting the “Family of Short Run Cost Curves” (AFC, AVC, ATC, MC) for this producer in late June, prior to the implementation of the new gasoline tax (you must submit a graph).
You have just taken over the job of senior product manager for a line of Consumer Home Routers at Cisco. On your first day at work (March 15...the ldes of March) your new boss walks into your office and informs you that your product line will be discontinued and replaced by a (revolutionary) new product line on October 1 of the same year. She also tells you that she wants you to raise prices on your existing product line by 20% in order to protect profitability during the transition. After a moment of (stunned) reflection, you tell her that you need 24-hours to gather some information and wil respond to her at that time. You go to a number of sources including field sales VPs, market research, other product managers, and an external consulting firm (McKinsey & Co.) and ask them how responsive customers have been to changes in prices in the past. They tell you that a 10% increase in price always leads to a 20% decrease in sales volume. The next day you walk into your boss's office. What…
