Note: In the following question, enter a positive number, even if it represents a loss. The area of this rectangle indicates that the firm's watches per day. would be $ thousand per day in the short run.

A young Thomas Edison makes 20 light bulbs a week in his dorm room. The parts for each light bulb cost $2.25. He sells each light bulb for $5.25. General Electric offers Thomas an executive job that pays $55.00 a week. Thomas’s weekly economic profit from making light bulbs is equal to: Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number include a minus sign. $
For the pizza seller whose marginal, average variable, and average total cost curves are shown in the graph below, what is the profit-maximizing level of output and how much profit will this producer earn if the price of pizza is $1.50 per slice?Instructions: In the graph below, label all three curves by clicking on the dropdown to select the appropriate label. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to include a negative sign (−). When the price is $1.50 per slice, the profit-maximizing level of output is slices per day. Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). At the profit-maximizing level of output, the producer's profit is: $ per day.

On the occasion of summer vacation, a student plans to open a milk tea shop. Before deciding to open a store, she wants to find out how profits fluctuate with fluctuations in selling prices and costs per unit of product. The selling price per cup of milk tea can range from VND 20,000.00 to VND 30,000.00 (the level of change is VND 1,000.00 each time) and the cost to make a cup of milk tea can range from VND 13,000.00 to VND 17,000.00 (the level of change is VND 500 each time). Knowing that the initial fixed cost is VND 24,000,000.00 and the number of cups of milk tea sold (Demand) depends on the selling price according to the formula: Demand = 24000 - 0.5 * Unit Price Use the two-dimensional sensitivity analysis to answer the following questions: a) What is the profit if the selling price is 23,000.00 VND and the cost per unit is 15,000.00 VND? b) How will profit change with each increase in cost of a product unit by VND 500.00 with a constant selling price of VND 25,000.00? c) What is…
The two side by side graphs are for two firms that between them supply all the original grown advocados for a local area. With vigorous competition between the firms, the price per pound has settled at a point where both firms are just breaking even. For each firm, the marginal cost (mc) average variable cost (avc) and average total (atc) curves are shown In the blank graph below, use the straight line tool to draw a straight line representing the short run market supply curve for quantities above zero. (that is Dont worry about operating points for which the quantity is zero)
In competitive markets, there are many small firms with each firm unable to influence the market price. Suppose company ABX operates in the wheat market. The company produces and markets wheats at a Price = $20 per container. The firm’s total costs are given as: TC = 50 +2Q + 3Q2 What is the firm Fixed Cost? Why? Also, use a graph to support your answer
Suppose that the market for dress shirts is a competitive market.

In this case, the firm's fixed cost is…
On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.
Calculate Edison's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven frying pans he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity. COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per frying pan) O 35 30 25 20 15 10 1 2 QUANTITY (Frying pans) Marginal Revenue -4 Marginal Cost Edison's profit is maximized when he produces frying pans. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last frying pan he produces is s which is than the price Edison receives for each frying pan he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional frying pan (that is, one more frying pan than would maximize his profit) is than the price Edison receives for each frying pan he sells. Therefore, curves. Because Edison is a price which is Edison's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the taker, this last condition can also be written as
