A manager must decide how many machines of a certain type to purchase. Each machine can process 100 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of $2,200 per day, while two machines will result in a fixed cost of $3,700 per day. Variable costs will be $20 per customer, and revenue will be $45 per customer. a. Determine the break-even point for each range. (Round your answers to the next whole number.) One machine Two machines b. If estimated demand is 90 to 120 customers per day, how many machines should be purchased?

A company manufactures a variety of camp stoves at different locations. The total cost C(x) (in dollars) of producing x camp stoves per week at plant A is shown in the figure. Discuss the graph of the marginal cost function C'(x) and interpret the graph of C'(x) in terms of the efficiency of the production process at this plant. C(x) $100,000 $50,000 500 1,000 Choose the correct answer below. A. The graph of y C'(x) shows that the marginal cost function is positive and decreasing. Since marginal costs are decreasing, the production process is becoming more efficient as production increases. B. The graph of y C'(x) shows that the marginal cost function is negative and decreasing. Since marginal costs are decreasing, the production process is becoming more efficient as production increases. C. The graph of y C'(x) shows that the marginal cost function is negative and increasing. Since marginal costs are increasing, the production process is becoming less efficient as production…
Despondent over the Red Sox's terrible season, Prof. Gruber decides to quit his day job and start a bicycle manufacturing firm in Kendall Square. As he starts looking into the bicycle manufacturing industry, he realizes it has some interesting features. First, he realizes that it operates as a competitive industry. Second, he finds that there are two technologies used by firms in the industry. Technology 1 uses solar power, and has a cost function C1(q)=q+4Q2+32 for q>0. Technology 2 uses electricity from the grid and is more efficient, with a cost function C2(q)=q+2Q2+32 for q>0. Assume that we are in the long run, so firms using both technologies can shut and leave the market at 0 cost, so that C(0)=0 for both technologies. Now, suppose that the government of Massachusetts offers solar subsidies to 10 bicycle manufacturers. These subsidies are for $80 and the manufacturers receive these subsidies as long as they construct a bicycle manufacturing plant using the newly-invented…
