Fine Farm is a perfectly competitive producer of rice. The adjacent figure shows Fine Farm's marginal cost of growing rice. Fine Farm cannot store rice, so all the rice grown must be sold; however, the price of rice is unknown when the managers must make a decision about how much rice to grow. With a 50/50 chance, the price might be $600 per ton or $200 per ton. To maximize their expected profit, Fine Farm's managers will produce A. 100 tons of rice B. 700 tons of rice ○ C. 100 tons of rice 50 percent of the time and 700 tons of rice the other 50 percent of the time OD. 400 tons of rice Price and cost (dollars per ton of rice) $700+ $600- $500- $400- $300- $200- $100- $0+ 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 Quantity (tons of rice per year) MC Q ☑

a donut shop charges customers the same price. the profit maximising output is 100 at a price of 5$ per donut. marginal cost is 2$. The donut shop owner now discovers that it has two very different types of customer children and adults . It can maximise its profits by selling 30 donuts to children for a price of 4$ per donut and 70 donuts per evening to everyone else for a price of 6$ per donut. Draw a diagram showing the profit-maximising price and output a) when all customers are charged the same price and b) when children are charged a different price c)How much profit does the donut shop owner make when children are charged a different price? explain how to draw the diagrams also in detail please!

If Soltani factory produces 1000 pieces of products, its total cost is equal to 50,000 monetary units, and if it produces 2,000 pieces of the same product, its total cost is equal to 80,000 monetary units. If each product is sold at a price of 40 monetary units, it is desirable: a. By drawing a diagram, specify the breaking point for it. B. If we want to make a profit equal to 20,000 units by selling 2500 pieces of product, what should be the variable cost? Use equations below: F Profit(P) = pQ - (F + vQ) TR=pQ TC=F+vQ Q=F/(p-v)
Tim Marlow, the owner of The Clock Works, wanted to know how many clocks he must sell in order to cover his fixed cost at a given price. Tim knew that he had a fixed cost of $20,000 for equipment, taxes, and a bank loan. He also had a unit variable cost of $20 per clock for labor, materials, and promotional costs. If the price Tim charges for each of his clocks is $40, what is his break-even point quantity?
