acques's profit is maximized when he produces , which is teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is than the price Jacques receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy ear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize his profit) is S |, which is than the price Jacques receives for each teddy ear he sells. Therefore, Jacques's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Jacques is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as

Suppose that the chemical lab could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the boat tour would no longer be affected. If the chemical lab uses the recycling method, then the chemical lab's economic profit is $1,600 per week, and the boat tour's economic profit is $2,600 per week. If the chemical lab does not use the recycling method then the chemical lab's economic profit is $2,300 per week, and the boat tour's economic profit is $1,400 per week. These figures are summarize the following table. Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the chemical lab's economic profit and the boat tour's economic profit combined) with and without recycling.

Aji Fatou owns a rental space in New York and is thinking of opening a restaurant in that space. The total cost of operating the restaurant is C(Q) = 20Q, where Q is the number of customers at the restaurant in a day. The market demand for restaurants is Q = 100 - p. Aji Fatou has the option of leasing out this space instead of opening a restaurant. The market rent for her property is $600. If Aji Fatou is operating as a perfectly competitive firm. What is Aji Fatou's Accounting profit (please put your answer in numerical value with no dollar sign, comma, or decimal place). Her Economic Profit is (please put your answer in numerical value with no dollar sign, comma, or decimal place). Aji Fatou has maximized the total surplus in this market. (please put your answers as true or false, lower case only)

Suppose that you are a manager for a firm like EBC Brakes, which manufactures brakes for automobiles and motorcycles. Your company has two plants, one in the United States and the other in the United Kingdom. The following tables include estimated demand and marginal revenue for your brakes, along with the marginal costs at the two factories. what quantity and price maximize your firms profit? What is the profit – maximizing number of brakes produced in the U.S. plant? In the U.K. plant? Quantity Demanded (brakes per hour) Price (dollars per brake) Quantity Produced in the U.K. plant (brakes per hour) Quantity Produced in the U.S. (brakes per hour) Total Quantity Produced Marginal Cost (dollars per brake) Marginal Revenue (dollars per brake) 104 196 47 42 89 66 92 105 195 48 44 92 68 90 106 194 49 46 95 70 88 107 193 50 48 98 72 86 108 192 51 50 101 74 84 109 191 52 52 104…
Consider the competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of shirts this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price.
There are two types of goat milk consumers in the market: Elves and Hobbits. Elves' inverse demand function is pE(g) = 10 – 8qE , and Hobbits' inverse demand function is pH(p) = 12 – 7qH . Suppose the market has only one goat milk producer, Dolf, whose cost function is C(q) = 4q. Dolf can easily tell the difference between Elves and Hobbits, and he can charge different prices for Elves and Hobbits respectively. What will Dolf's total profits be? Round your answer to 2 decimal points. Answer: 191 The correct answer is: 3.41
2. Jack is the owner of the only local bar in a small town. He sells whiskey in one-ounce glasses. For simplicity, let's assume it doesn't cost Jack anything to run his business. There are two customers, Adam and Burt who are twin brothers. Adam's demand function is ya = 16 – 2p, and Burt's demand function is yg = 8- p (price is measured in dollars and quantity is measured %3D by ounces). Jack knows their demand functions, but the problem is that he cannot tell them apart since they look exactly the same to him. To increase his profits, Jack offers the following two options that his customers can choose from: (1) You can pay $T1 up front and drink as much as you want; or (2) Pay $T2 up front and the price per ounce of whiskey will be $p. 2.a If p = 4, what is the maximal T2 that Jack can charge so that Burt is willing to come to the bar? 2.b What is the maximal T, that Jack can charge so that Adam will choose the first pricing option?

Suppose Erin gives haircuts on Saturdays to make extra money. She is the only person in town cutting hair on Saturdays and therefore has some market power. Assume that she does not incur fixed costs, and the only significant variable cost to Erin is her time. As she gives more haircuts, Erin must increasingly forgo other valuable Saturday activities. For example, if she gives one haircut, she forgoes reading the paper after breakfast. If she gives two haircuts, she gives up reading the paper and sleeping an extra half-hour. Erin's clients are a varied group willing to pay between $16.00 and $28.00 for a haircut. Assume that Erin cannot price discriminate, i.e., charge different clients different prices. If Erin charges $28.00 per haircut, she will have one client per week; if she charges $24.00, she will have two; if she charges $20.00, three, and so forth. The following table contains data on the revenues and costs of Erin's haircut business as a function of her price-quantity choice.…
Suppose that the fish processor could use a different production method that involves recycling water. This would reduce the pollution in the lake to levels safe for recreation, and the boat tour would no longer be affected. If the fish processor uses the recycling method, then the fish processor's economic profit is $1,300 per week, and the boat tour's economic profit is $1,900 per week. If the fish processor does not use the recycling method, then the fish processor's economic profit is $1,600 per week, and the boat tour's economic profit is $1,100 per week. These figures are summarized in the following table. Complete the following table by computing the total profit (the fish processor's economic profit and the boat tour's economic profit combined) with and without recycling.

Your company produces a unique style of sandals. The table shows price/quantity combinations from the retail demand curve for your sandals. This demand curve for your shoes is linear. Your marginal cost and average total cost of producing a pair of sandals are constant and equal to $10 per pair. In addition, the marginal cost of distributing and selling a pair of sandals is constant at $40 per pair and equal to the average total cost of distribution.
