Each of Davisson's production managers (annual salary cost, $45,000) can oversee 60,000 machine hours of manufacturing activity. Thus, if the company has 50,000 hours of manufacturing activity, one manager is needed; for 75,000 hours, two managers are needed; for 125,000 hours, three managers are needed; and so forth. Davisson's salary cost can best be described as a: variable cost. semivariable cost. step-variable cost. fixed cost. step-fixed cost.

Revenue at a major smartphone manufacturer was $1.4 billion for the nine months ending March 2, up 97 percent over revenues for the same period last year. Management attributes the increase in revenues to a 137 percent increase in shipments, despite a 17 percent drop in the average blended selling price of its line of phones.Given this information, is it surprising that the company’s revenue increased when it decreased the average selling price of its phones? a. Yes. Own price elasticity is −0.12, which means demand is inelastic and a decrease in price will decrease revenues. b. Yes. Own price elasticity is −8.06, which means demand is elastic and a decrease in price will decrease revenues. c. No. Own price elasticity is −8.06, which means demand is elastic and a decrease in price will raise revenues. d. No. Own price elasticity is −0.12, which means demand is elastic and a decrease in price will raise revenues.

At what level of output does average variable cost (AVC) reach its minimum value for Greene Enterprises?
After running a successful pineapple business, Diddy looks for a new business venture. Now he wants to run gold mining business named "Diddy Bling Bling" which produces/sells raw gold. For simplicity, two types of inputs are required to produce raw gold (workers and gold mine). In short- run production, the size of gold mine is fixed while the number or workers can vary. After consulting his business consultant, Diddy computes the following cost table. The quantity of raw gold (kilograms) Averaged Total Cost (gold mine size=small) Averaged Total Cost (gold mine size-medium) Averaged Total Cost (gold mine size-Large) 1 700 1400 1800 2 600 1300 1700 3 500 1200 1600 4 400 1100 1500 5 300 1000 1400 6 400 900 1300 7 500 800 1200 8 610 600 1100 9 700 500 1000 10 800 400 900 11 900 375 800 12 1100 250 700 13 1200 400 600 14 1300 490 500 15 1400 600 400 16 1500 700 350 17 1600 800 300 18 1700 900 350 19 1800 1000 400 20 1900 1100 500 21 2000 1200 600 22 2100 1300 700 Draw Diddy Bling Bling's…
When the level of production is 7 units, the total cost is $ 56. Then the average variable cost is $8 A. True 8. False
how do you know the total variable is 50 when finding the total fixed cost?
Consider the following cost function (C): C= 0.25q3 - 4q? + 75q + F. The equation for average cost (AC) is: AC = |. (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts. E.g., a superscript can be created with the ^ character.) The equation for variable cost (VC) is: Vc=. (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette.) The equation for marginal cost (MC) is: MC =. (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette.)
Average total cost decreases when marginal cost is average total cost. less than greater than equal to
Total Fixed Cost (TFC), Total Variable Cost (TVC), Total Cost (TC), and the Average Total Cost (ATC) per unit. A company produces 100 bicycles per month. The company pay 3,000 per rent, 2,000 per insurance, 1,000 per loan, including interests, 3,000 per labor, and 11,000 per raw materials. Calculate the Total Fixed Cost (TFC), the Total Variable Cost (TVC) the Total Cost (TC) of producing the 100 bicycles and the Average Total Cost (ATC) per bicycle.
