As we discussed previously, we produce electronic chips for automobiles. We currently sell to most major auto manufacturing companies. We currently produce in one facility, but we are considering opening a second manufacturing facility. We would like your help in determining whether we should maintain only one facility or move forward with opening a second facility. Our Data Analytics team has estimated the weekly cost structure for our existing facility as TC₁= 20,000+ 0.5Q₁² and has projected a weekly cost structure for the potential second facility to be TC2 = 40,000+ 0.25Q2². Our weekly inverse demand function is estimated as P = 500 -0.5Q. Can you please provide me a recommendation on whether or not we should open our second facility? In your analysis, please let me know what the profit maximizing price, output, and profit would be with maintaining only our first facility. And, what the profit maximizing price, output, and profit would be at both facilities if we move forward with opening the second facility.

The cost of lumber per million board feet (MBF) in January 2007 was $464.49 when the value of the ENR materials cost index (MCI) was 2583.52. If the cost of lumber increased in proportion to the MCI, what was the value of the index when the cost of lumber was $400 per MBF?
An average variable cost function is estimated as AVC = 96-2Q + 0.05Q2. Which of the following cost functions is associated with this estimate? a. MC = -2Q + 0.1Q2 b. TVC = 96Q-2Q2 + 0.1Q3 c. TVC = 96Q - 4Q2 +0.15Q3 d. MC 96-4Q+0.15Q2 =
Suppose the company lacks confidence in the accuracy of cost estimates expressed in a cubic equation and simply wants to use a linear approximation. Suggest a linear representation of this cubic equation. What difference would it make on the recommended profit-maximizing and revenue-maximizing prices
1) Thompson Industries estimated its short-run costs using a U-shaped average variable cost function of the form AVC = 43.40 - 2.80Q + 0.20Q2 and the total fixed cost (TFC) at Thompson Industries is $1,000. If Thompson Industries produces 20 units of output, what is estimated total cost (TC)?.
Suppose that Desert Farms want to expand its product line with camel milk and other dairy products, upgrading into a multi-product company. Its cost function was recently estimated as: C(Q,, Qz) = 75+ (2Q1- Q2)2 a) Are there economies of scope in producing 6 units of product 1 and 6 units of product 2? b) Are there cost complementarities in producing products 1 and 2? c) Suppose the division selling product 2 is floundering, and another company has made an offer to buy the exclusive rights to produce product 2. How would the sale of the rights to produce product 2 change the firm's marginal cost of producing product 1?

An engineer who owns a construction company that specializes in large commercial projects noticed that material costs increased at a rate of 1% per month over the past 12 months. If a material cost index were created for that year with the value of the index set at 100 at the beginning of the year, what is the value of the index at the end of the year? Express your answer to two decimal places.
