4. Variouss measures of cost Douglas Fur is a small manufacturer of fake-fur boots in San Diego. The following table shows the company's total cost of production at various production quantities. Fill in the remaining cells of the following table. Quantity Total Cost Marginal Cost (Dollars) Fixed Cost Variable Cost Average Variable Cost Average Total Cost (Pairs) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars per pair) (Dollars per pair) 120 1 200 2 240 3 285 4 340 425 6 540 On the following graph, plot Douglas Fur's average total cost (ATC) curve using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot its average variable cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $200, so you should start your ATC curve by placing a green point at (1, 200). For MC, plot the points between the integers:…
Suppose you make beautiful coffee tables out of juniper trees. Your materials cost for each table is $135. You pay your craftsman $25 per hour and it takes him 5 hours to complete one table. If you sell these tables for $689, what is your Cost of Goods Sold Percentage? 2. What is the Gross Profit Margin on the coffee tables described in question 1 above? 3. Suppose your company sells a 3 pack of lenses that attach to smart phones to improve the quality of pictures people take. You pay $29.95 for each 3 pack and sell them for $59.95. What is your Cost of Goods Sold Percentage for this item? 4. Suppose you sell 8,000 of the 3 pack of lenses described in question 3 above in one year. You cost on each 3 pack is $29.95 and you sell them for $59.95. If your operating expenses for the year total $144,080, what are your Net Income and Net Profit Margin Percentage? 5. Suppose an investor gave you $150,000 to start your business. You gave this investor 50 percent of your company for…
A manager must decide how many machines of a certain type to purchase. Each machine can process 100 customers per day. One machine will result in a fixed cost of $2,200 per day, while two machines will result in a fixed cost of $3,700 per day. Variable costs will be $20 per customer, and revenue will be $45 per customer. a. Determine the break-even point for each range. (Round your answers to the next whole number.) One machine Two machines b. If estimated demand is 90 to 120 customers per day, how many machines should be purchased?
A manufacturer of hospital supplies has a uniform annual demand for 180,000 boxes of bandages. It costs $20 to store one box of bandages for one year and $500 to set up the plant for production. How many times a year should the company produce boxes of bandages in order to minimize the total storage and setup costs? The company should produce boxes of bandages time(s) a year. you ge..

The marginal cost of producing the xth box of light bulbs is 4 + x2 dollars per box. Determine how much is added to the total cost by a change in production from x = 20 to x = 80 boxes. 1,000
Constrained Optimization: Cobb-Douglas Production Function:1. Based from the factor shares of the two inputs, what will happen to the number of output if it the firm decides to triple both the amount of labor and capital?2. State the optimization problem of the firm.3. Solve for the formulas of the Marginal Product of Labor (MPL), and Marginal product ofCapital (MPK)4. Using your knowledge of the tangency condition in Producer’s theory, find the combinationof K and L that the firm should use to produce the maximum possible output. Do not solvethe problem using the Lagrangian method.Note: The tangency conditions just states that the slope of the production function must beequal to the slope of the isocost function.5. What is the maximum possible output that the firm could earn given the constraint it faces?
A gardener is trying to maximize profit by growing tomatoes (T) and carrots(C) with fertilizer(F). The production functions are: Tomatoes: T = 70F₁ - 1.5F-² Carrots: C = 90Fc - 2Fc² Constraint: FT + Fc = 60 The profit is $0.50 per tomato and $0.25 per carrot. There are 60 units of fertilizer available. How much fertilizer should go to the tomatoes?
Assume that the sale price of chairs is always sufficiently high that it is profitable to fulfill this 80-chair order. The firm needs to make 80 chairs to fulfill its order. Assume also that the firm is profit maximizing (& therefore cost minimizing). What combinations of robot and worker hours must they use to minimize costs? Show your work. Use the equation that must be true for cost minimization
Consider the following marginal cost function MC= 5 + 2qi. (a) Does the production process exhibits increasing returns? decreasing returns? constant returns? (b) If the price is $23. What’s the optimal production level? (c) If the price is $31. What’s the optimal production level?
10 ATC ATC2 ATC3 ATC, 2 2 4 6 8 10 Quantity (thousands of copies per day) A copy shop is choosing between four different operational sizes (ie, plant size). The average total cost curve for each option is shown in the graph. If the market demand for copies is 12,000 copies per day, how many copy shops would you expect to see in this market? The answer depends on the price of a copy, which is unknown. O 1 (because the copy shop will become a monopoly with a large quantity demanded) O (because the copy shop can't produce 12,000 copies efficiently and will shutdown) 3 (with each shop supplying 4000 copies per day) 8, 6 Average cost (cents per copy)
7. The unit price of production input K is 8 euros and the unit price of production input L is 10 euros. What is the minimum cost at which a company could produce 20 units of product Y if the company's production function is Y = K / 4 + L?
