Harry's Pepperoni Pizza Parlor produced 10,000 large pepperoni pizzas last year that sold for $10 each. This year Harry’s produced 10,000 large pepperoni pizzas (identical to last year's pizzas) but sold them for $12 each. Based on this information, we can conclude that Harry's production of large pepperoni pizzas

A breeder tells you he has determined for each 1-lb increase in weaning weight profit increases by $1.40 per pound. However, he has also calculated that for each independent 1-lb increase in birth weight, profit decreases $5.45 per pound. 1. What would be the economic index for this aggregate breeding value? 2. If the producer gave you the following table with calf birth weight and weaning weight, what would be the index value and rank for these animals?

Flat Screen Televisions Lose $126 per Unit Sold: Sony CorporationMost of the cost of a flat screen TV involves the LCD panel. Globally, 220 million flat screen TVs were sold in 2011 for $115 billion. Although scale economies in massive factories and volume discounts on electronic input components have driven the cost of LCDs down from $2,400 to $500 the last decade, the price has fallen even faster. In 2001, the average selling price of a large LCD panel was over $4,000. By 2011, this price had fallen below $600. Sony Corporation finds its flat screen TVs now fail to cover the full cost of the LCD panels and instead impose a $126 ($500 - $374) loss per TV sold. Nevertheless, the indirect fixed costs of the LCD factories including Korean Samsung, Japanese Sharp, Panasonic, and Sony constructed are partially covered by continuing its operation (continue production). Losses would be greater in the short run if they shut down.As an economic consultant, what would you advise Sony…

Lobo Lighting Corporation currently employs 100 unskilled laborers, 80 factory technicians, 30 skilled machinists, and 40 skilled electricians. Lobo feels that the marginal product of the last unskilled laborer is 400 lights per week, the marginal product of the last factory technician is 450 lights per week, the marginal product of the last skilled machinist is 550 lights per week, and the marginal product of the last skilled electrician is 600 lights per week. Unskilled laborers earn $400 per week, factory technicians earn $500 per week, machinists earn $700 per week, and electricians earn $750 per week. Is Lobo using the lowest cost combination of workers to produce its targeted output? If not, what recommendations can you make to assist the company?

And using the values of AP and MP obtained from part (i), plot the graphs of TP, AP and MP being careful to fully label the graph and explain briefly the law of diminishing marginal returns from your computation. How does the hypothesis of diminishing returns (MP& AP) influence the behaviour of costs (MC& AC)?

In the island nation of Autarka, cardboard boxes are manufactured by four rms: Andrew'sIndustries, Brett's Boxes, Carla's Cardboard, and Delia's Durables. In Autarka, cardboard boxes are sold in bundles of 100. At present, the market price for a bundle of boxes is $30. The technology for manufacturing cardboard boxes is readily available and common to all manufacturers. The cost of plant and machinery for a rm in the box manufacturing business is $7,000,000 per year. The labour, material, and energy cost of producing abundle of 100 boxes is $20. A market study indicates that demand for cardboard boxes is given by the function,P= 40 - Q/500,000 ;where P represents the price of a bundle of 100 boxes, and Qis the total number of bundles of boxes sold each year. Using the information provided in the scenario, derive a total cost function fora typical cardboard box manufacturer. Use QA to denote the quantity produced by thetypical firm.
