Consider a firm that manufactures shoes. It sold 100 pairs of shoes at a price of 100 pesos per pair. Its production cost per pair is 90 pesos. Half of the production costs are for capital and labor while the remainder represents purchases of materials from other firms. Calculate the firm’s value added. Show all calculations.

A firm had sales revenue of $942 million last year. It spent $463 million on labor, $88 million on capital and $162 million on materials. The firm's factory sits on land owned by the firm that could be rented out for $2 million per year. What was the firm's economic profit last year in millions of dollars? (Do not include the word "million" or the dollar symbol in your answer, just a number.)
ECONOMICS UPVOTE WILL BE GIVEN. PLEASE CHOOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER. NO LONG EXPLANATION NEEDED. A manufacturer produces and sells exactly 600,000 units of a single product annually. The fixed cost of the company is Php 180 million per year, and the variable cost is Php 2,350 per unit. In the coming year, the company is selling its product at a price of Php 2,800 per unit. How much is the total variable cost? A. Php 2,350 B. Php 1,680,000,000 C. Php 1,410,000,000 D. Php 180,000,000
The following production function describes the production of buttons made of plastic: q = (4K0.5 +L0.5) with K ... machinery, L ... labor. Rents for capital are r = 10000€, each worker costs 5000€ a month. a) Will a labor-capital ratio of 2.5 minimize total production costs in the long run?
Imagine you are running a business that processes horticultural product, and is currently producing 40,000 tonnes of product per year. The average cost of producing 40,000 tonnes is $600 per tonne. A buyer for a large supermarket chain comes along and offers to buy an extra 10,000 tonnes of your product at a price of $300 per tonne. This price is much less than the average cost of production for the current annual output. With the current production system of the business, the marginal cost per tonne of producing an extra tonne is $200/ton. 1. Would you accept or reject this offer, and why? 2. What principles underlie your reasoning in deciding whether to accept or reject this offer?
The per-unit cist of an item is its average total cost=(=total cost/quantity). Suppose that a new cell phone application costs $100,000 to develop and only $0.70 per unit to deliver to each cell phone customer. What will be the per-unit coat of the application if it sells 100 units? What will be the per-unit coat of the application if it sells 1,000 units? What will be the per-unit cost of the application if it sells 1 million units?
You work for Stilly Gas Co, which uses natural gas to provide energy to the surrounding area. In 2020, Stilly Gas bought $52 million of LNG imports at a price of $4.00 per MMBtu. In 2022, after the price of LNG skyrocketed, Stilly Gas purchased a total of 15 MMBtu of LNG at the new global price of $10 per MMBtu. What was the Marginal Factor Cost (MFC) for the additional LNG purchased by Stilly Gas Co in 2022? Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar and do not include a dollar sign (ie, XX)

Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel; $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides; and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations. What is the family's accounting cost? What is the family's economic cost? Could the family's economic cost ever exceed its accounting cost? Why or why not?
The per-unit cost of an item is its average total cost (= total cost/quantity).
