3. The components of marginal revenueKarim's HookNLadder is the only company selling fire engines in the fictional country of Alexandrina. Karim initially produced eight trucks, but thendecided to increase production to nine trucks. The following graph gives the demand curve faced by Karim's HookNLadder. As the graph shows, inorder to sell the additional fire truck, Karim must lower the price from $80,000 to $40,000 per truck. Notice that Karim gains revenue from the sale ofthe additional engine, but at the same time, he loses revenue from the initial eight engines because they are all sold at the lower price.Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial eight engines by selling at $40,000 ratherthan $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at$40,000.PRICE (Thousands of dollars per fire engine)2202001801601401201008060402000+1+2++4567QUANTITY (Fire engines)38Demand910Revenue LostRevenue Gained Karim00+1True2O False3 4 5 6 7 8QUANTITY (Fire engines)9 10increase production from 8 to 9 fire engines because theTrue or False: If alternatively Karim's HookNLadder were a competitive firm and $80,000 were the market price for an engine, increasing productionwould not affect the price at which the company is able to sell engines.dominates in this scenario.

Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, andhiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discoversthat it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such adecision.Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs andfound itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, anelectricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing itscurrent aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increaseits profit by simply reselling its electricity.When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. Oneimportant concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation inSpokane, Washington, entered into a…
Assume that restaurants in aiports rent the space that they occupy and that the restaurant industry is competitive. Keeping in mind the concept of economic rent, we know that food prices will be higher at the airport restaurants than at other locations because: O airport restaurants generate larger economic profits than other restaurants at different locations. O the number of potential customers is greater at the airport locations. O the rent paid by the restaurant is higher than the rent paid at other locations. O demand for food at airports is less elastic than at other locations.
1 Mario owns a wood-fired pizza shop which imitates traditional Italian methods. She uses a unique sauce that attracts a loyal following of customers. The demand for her pizzas is q = 1650 – 250p, and her costs are TC 0.72+0.0035q. q is the number of pizzas sold per week, TC(q) is Maria's weekly total cost, and p is the price of a pizza. a) What price and output will Maria choose to maximize profits? b) Maria returns to college and asks her cousin Victor to manage her pizza business. Victor faces the same demand and cost conditions as Maria, but he decides to maximize revenue. What price and output should he choose?

Which of the following best explains why a firm in a competitive price-taker market must take the price determined in the market? The short-run average total costs of firms that are price takers will be constant. O If a price taker increased its price, consumers would buy from other suppliers. O Firms in a price-taker market will have to advertise in order to increase sales. There are no good substitutes for the product supplied by a firm that is a price taker.

usiness EconomicsQ&A LibraryTwo firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in the industry that manufacture this product. Their marginal cost (MC) is equal to their average cost (AC) and it is constant at MC = AC = X, for both firms. Market demand is given as Q = Y – 2P (where P = price and Q = quantity). Select any value for X between [21 – 69] and any value for Y between [501 – 999].
