Consider a small photography studio with 8 workers and 5 The total cost of labor and capital is $3,200. In order to reduce total operating costs, the owner leases 5 additional printers and fires 5 workers. After these changes, the salary of each worker increases by $30, the cost of using each of the printers (both new and old) remains constant, and the total cost of labor and capital decreases to $2,900. What is the cost of using one printer?

Chris P. Nugget runs a small fast-food chicken restaurant named "Poultrygeist.". He hires one employee at a cost of $28,000 per year, pays annual rent of $25,000 for his shop, and spends $75,000 per year on other inputs (food, supplies, etc.). He has $100,000 of his own funds previously invested in equipment (ovens, serving counters, etc.) that could earn him $8,000 per year if these funds were alternatively invested. Chris has been offered $80,000 per year to work as a restaurant manager for a competitor. Total annual revenue from the restaurant is $200,000. For all answers, be specific and show your work. a. How much are Mr. Nugget's "explicit costs" this year? b. How much are Mr. Nugget's "implicit costs" this year? c. What is Mr. Nugget's "accounting profit" this year? d. What is Mr. Nugget's "economic profit" this year? e.

Joanne sells silk screened T-shirts at community festivals and craft fairs. Her marginal cost to produce one T-shirt is $3.50. Her total cost to produce 70 T-shirts is $305, and she sells them for $7 each a. Find the linear cost function for Joanne's T-shirt production b. How many T-shirts must she produce and sell in order to break even? c. How many T-shirts must she produce and sell to make a profit of $700? a. The linear cost function is C(x)= b. Joanne must produce and sell c. Joanine must produce and sell T-shirts in order to break even, because the number of T-shirts must be a whole number T-shirts to make a profit of $700, because the number of T-shirts must be a whole number
