Coors Brewing Expanding Plant Coors Brewing Co. of Golden will expand its Virginia packaging plant at a cost of $24 million. The addition will accommodate a new production line, which will bottle beer faster. Coors Brewing employs 470 people at its Virginia plant. The expanded packaging line will add another eight jobs. How will Coors' expansion change its marginal cost curve and short-run supply curve? What does this expansion imply about the point on Coors' LRAC curve at which the firm was before the expansion?

A competitive industry has production processes that generate pollution. ok with studies carried out on the affected population, the marginal costs associated with contamination are constant and CU500. for each unit of the good produced. these costs are associated with lost workdays, illness treatment costs, and the nuisance generated in the population. Currently the production level of the industry is 250 units and the market price is 1,500 (MU/unit). Market studies carried out by companies estimate that if the price rises At 1,800 (mu/unit) the quantity demanded would fall to 200 units and the marginal cost of the production of each company in this new production level is 1,300 (m.u./unit). Assume linearity in market demand and in the marginal costs of production of the companies Graph to justify your answers. A)Determine the optimal production level from the perspective of the whole of the society. Show your result graphically.
11-22 Opportunity costs. After thorough saving, a student bought a second-hand car for $1,500. After three months, the gear box broke down and he had to replace it with a new gear box for $400. One morning the car wouldn't start. He called a friend who knew a lot about cars, who concluded that the fuel pump needed replacing at a cost of $250. The car drove surprisingly well during the next several months, but then the car's drive shaft broke, and a mechanic at the garage told the student that this was an expensive repair that had to be done in order to drive again. The replacement of the drive shaft was estimated at $800. The student is wondering if he should he repair the car or not. On the one hand, it is a lot of money. On the other hand he has already invested $2,150 and this will be lost if he doesn't repair the car. 1. What should the student do? Discuss the opportunity costs. Required
