Label each curve with its appropriate name. ● Carefully draw a new set of cost curves (and label them) such that the marginal cost (MC) has increased by $10 and the average total cost (ATC) has increased by $10. Use at least four points on each curve to determine the new cost curves. Show the maximum total profit for the new set of cost curves when the market price is $60/unit. You only need to show the profit box but you must draw all the vertical and horizontal lines used in the five steps for determining the maximum profit. The maximum profit that was determined in the question above is (circle your answer below): Positive Negative Zero You can't tell from the information provided

5. El Sol Inc. produces beach towels. The cost of each towel is $ 4.00 and it sells for $ 10.00 after the markup on its cost. Similar towels sell for $ 8.00. How much should each towel cost you to be able to adjust to the market price and keep your profit margin?
Kasey Puzzle, Inc. sells geography-based puzzles. Kasey currently sells 25,000 units a month for $40 each, has variable costs of $20 per unit, and fixed costs of $300,000. Kasey Puzzle is considering increasing the price of its units to $60 per unit. This will not affect costs, but demand is expected to drop 20%. Should Kasey Puzzle increase the price of its product? с Multiple Choice O O Yes, profit will increase $500,000. No, profit will decrease $500,000. No, profit will decrease $300,000. Yes; profit will increase $300,000.

Suppose a consultant tells Ace it can sell 700,000 heel repair kits, what price must it charge to achieve a profit of $2.5 million? (Please show your calculation steps
Consider total cost and total revenue given in the following table: TABLE IN IMAGE Calculate profit for each quantity. How much should the firm produce to maximize profit?(ii) Calculate marginal revenue and marginal cost for each quantity. Graph them. (Hint: Put the points betweenwhole numbers. For example, the marginal cost between 2 and 3 should be graphed at 2½.) At what quantitydo these curves cross? How does this relate to your answer to part (a)?(iii) Can you tell whether this firm is in a competitive industry? If so, can you tell whether the industry is in along-run equilibrium? (8.75)

3. XYZ corporation produces widgets. Its short-run marginal cost curve is given by MC (q) = 10 – 5q + q² (this is a parabola whose minimum occurs at q = 2.5). XYZ's fixed costs are 10. In a two panel diagrams, graph the following cost curves: (a) total cost, (b) total variable cost, (c) total fixed cost, (d) marginal cost, (e) average variable cost, and (f) average total cost. Your diagrams do not need to be scale, but must be internally consistent (i.e. the relationships between different curves must be correct). You do not need to find mathematical expressions for the other cost curves – you only need to sketch lines that are consistent with the shape of the marginal cost curve.

1. You are running a (small) chain of gourmet burger joints with two locations (San Antonio and Laredo) You have been charging $10 for your burger meal (fries, burger and soft drink). Across both locations, you sell 2400 meals per week at this price. When you raised the price to $13 for the burger meal, your sales across the two locations fell to 1800 meals per week. For your costs, you have fixed costs of $3000 per week across the two locations. In addition, it costs you six dollars per burger in variable costs (ingredients, labor etc.) A. What is your combined cost function across the two locations? B. Using the two prices above, estimate your combined demand function across the two locations? C. Using the combined demand function and cost function calculated above, calculate the profit-maximizing price and quantities? D. What are your (combined) weekly profits across the two locations?
TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars) -25 Suppose Lorenzo runs a small business that manufactures teddy bears. Assume that the market for teddy bears is a price-taker market, and the market price is $10 per teddy bear. The following graph shows Lorenzo's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue, and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for the first seven teddy bears that Lorenzo produces, including zero teddy bears. 125 Total Cost 100 Total Revenue 75 -50 1 2 5 6 QUANTITY (Teddy bears) Profit Calculate Lorenzo's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven teddy bears he produces, and plot them on the following graph.

You set up a lemonade stand. The stand itself costs $200. The ingredients for each cup of lemonade cost $0.50. Suppose every day you make and sell 500 cups of lemonade. Also assume each cup of lemonade is sold at $2.00 а. Please calculate Total Variable cost (TVC), Total fixed cost (TFC), Total Cost (TC), Total revenue and profit for making 500 cups of lemonade. b. Please calculate Average variable cost (AVC), average fixed cost (AVC) and average total cost (ATC) for making 500 cups of lemonade. C. Why is the gap (distance) between a typical ATC and AVC curves become smaller as output (quantity) levels increase? Under what condition(s) will the gap disappear?
