A company that manufactures tablet computers determines that the fixed costs for producing the tablet computers are $45,000. The variable costs for producing each tablet computer are $75. The company decides to sell each tablet computer for $250. Part A: Write the cost and revenue equations if the company produces and sells a tablet computers.
1200 100.0 20.0 F20 100 -100 A company produces school buses. The graphs of the Cost function (red) and the Revenue function (blue) are given on the figure. (You may click on the figure to see a bigger version.) The horizontal axes represents quantity in number of units. Cost and Revenue are measured in thousands of dollars. Answer the following questions. 1. What are the fixed costs? Answer: thousand dollars. 2. Suppose the current level of production is 19 buses. Should the company produce 20 th bus? Answer "yes" or "no" 3. Between 0 and 100, approximately what level of production maximizes the profit? (Or minimizes the losses if the company doesn't make any profit). Answer:
4 total cost is c(4, r, q) 5 total 75. If Firm A has constant marginal cost, and input prices double to 2r and 2w, how much will it cost to produce q 6 units of output (what is c(6, 2r, 2w))? (HINT: First calculate the marginal cost for c(q, r, w), then calculate c(6, r, w), and then calculate c(6, 2r, 2w)) = Firm A has cost function c(q, r, w). At output q = cost is c(5,r, q) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 90 ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 150 c(6, 2r, 2w) O c(6, 2r, 2w) = 180 - = - 75 160 = 60, and at output q -

Question 1 Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes.

The market price for hats is $9 per hat. (a) Calculate the average variable cost of the fifth unit. Show your work. (b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of hats? Explain using marginal analysis. (c) Draw a correctly labeled graph showing the firm's demand and marginal cost curves, and show the profit-maximizing quantity of hats determined in part (b).
