D. Market for Beer Bud Owen operates Bud's Package Store in a small college town. Bud sells six packs of beer for off-premises consumption. Bud's is the only beer retailer physically located within the town limits. He faces considerable competition, however, from sellers located outside of town. Bud regards the market as highly competitive and considers the current $2.50 per six pack selling price to be beyond his control. Bud's total and marginal cost functions are: TC = 2000+ 0.0005Q2 MC = 0.001Q where Q refers to six packs per week. a. Calculate the profit maximizing output for Bud. What is his economic profit? Is Bud's current condition a long run or a short run equilibrium situation? Why? b. The town council has voted to impose a tax of $1 per six pack sold in the town, hoping to discourage beer consumption. What impact will the tax have on Bud's profit (compute), given that his total cost and marginal cost functions with the tax are as follows? TC = 2000+ 0.0005Q2 + 1Q MC = 0.001Q + 1| c. Given your answer in 2) should Bud continue to operate his business or not? Explain briefly.

At what quantity of bags will profits be maximized? A Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 300 bags. B Use the profit maximizing rule, MR ≥ MC, buy 200 bags. C Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 300. D Use Qb = F/(MR-AVC) where Qb is the breakeven quantity to be determined, the optimal quantity of bags is 200.
all average cost can be calculated by deriving the per unit cost. True or False
What is the fixed cost? what is the AVC quantity of 10 quantity. Total cost 0. 1000 10. 2000 20. 4000
