5. Rusty Trawler imports oil from Saudi Arabia. His cost function (for purchasing and delivering the oil) is TC = 5000+.1Q² where Q is the number of barrels of oil delivered. He may sell all the oil he can deliver for $60 per barrel (so TR = 60Q). Given these conditions, what are Rusty's maximum possible profits? a) $0 b) $300 c) $2,500 d) $4,000
8.1 The fixed costs at Harley Motors are $1M annually. The main product has revenue of $9.90 per unit and $4.50 variable cost. This question is in three parts. Part 2: What is the annual profit (or loss) if 150,000 units are sold? (if a profit, use a positive number and if a loss, use a negative number; do not use commas or $ signs in your answer)
Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $30, the second by $ 27, the third by $24, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $3. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $9.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and…

5. You are economic consultant for Jack, who farms raw cotton in a perfectly competitive market. One day he gives you the following data at his present level of production: Output = 2000 pounds, market price = $5.00, total cost =$8000, fixed cost=$2000, marginal cost-$5. The minimum of AVC occurs at {1000 pounds at $2} and the minimum of ATC at {1500 pounds at $3.5}. Please help Jack with the following questions based on the above figures: a. Draw a graph for the raw cotton market and a graph for Jack's farm current situation that includes MC, ATC, and AVC, labeling all relevant points on axes with numerical values. Is Jack maximizing the profit (minimizing the loss)? Why or why not? Label the total profit/loss area. b. Suppose more farmers enter the raw cotton market until the market price is $3.00 per pound. On the same graphs, show the effect of this change in the market place. Would you like to suggest Jack leaving the market in the short run? Explain your answer.

Should a firm shut firm if its revenue is R = $1,500 per week and: a. Its variable cost is VC = $1,100 and its sunk fixed cost is F = $800? b. Its variable cost is VC = $1,600 and its fixed cost is F = $600? c. Its variable cost is VC = $1,100 and its fixed cost is F = $1000 ($800 of which is avoidable if it shuts down)?
Suppose that a paper mill “feeds” a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $70, the second by $63, the third by $56, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $7. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one “unit” of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $35.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes..
