- Bill runs a business that makes custom-printed towels. It will cost him $8 each to purchase and print on towels, and he will have to pay a rent of $1,700 per month for him workshop. Based on market research, Bill estimates that he can sell custom towels for $25 each. a) Calculate the number of towels he needs to sell per month to break-even. towels b) Calculate the break-even in dollars (round off to the nearest cent).Your product's revenue per unit is $30, and product's cost per unit is $10. If the demand for next month is 200 units, and it costs $1000 one time to set up the machine, what is our profit (in dollars) for next month?10 ATC ATC2 ATC3 ATC, 2 2 4 6 8 10 Quantity (thousands of copies per day) A copy shop is choosing between four different operational sizes (ie, plant size). The average total cost curve for each option is shown in the graph. If the market demand for copies is 12,000 copies per day, how many copy shops would you expect to see in this market? The answer depends on the price of a copy, which is unknown. O 1 (because the copy shop will become a monopoly with a large quantity demanded) O (because the copy shop can't produce 12,000 copies efficiently and will shutdown) 3 (with each shop supplying 4000 copies per day) 8, 6 Average cost (cents per copy)
- A bakery sells pretzels. The fixed costs come to $8,750.00 per month. It will cost 35 cents to make each pretzel, and the bakery will charge $1.50 per pretzel. The bakery must sell 7,609 pretzels in a month to break even. The bakery's owners think they may not be able to sell that many pretzels. If they raise the price to $1.75, what will be the break-even point? Hint: use the Break-even point formula.An ice cream producer has fixed costs of $70,000 per month, and it can produce up to 15,000 ice cream tubs per month. Each tub costs $10 in the market while the producer faces variable costs of $3 per tub. What is the economic breakeven level of production? b. Calculate the ice cream producer’s monthly profits at full capacity. What would happen to the monthly profits if another ice cream producer entered the market, driving the price of ice cream tubs down to $7 per unit?The market for smart thermostats has grown increasingly competitive. Producers of smart thermostats all rely on the same technology and face the same costs. The cost function for a smart thermostat producer is given by the following function: c(y)=-10y+2003 where y stands for the number of smart thermostats produced and sold in a month. 2nd attempt Suppose the market demand for smart thermostats in any month is given by QD = 305 - p. In the long-run equilibrium, we would expect to find firms in the industry. See Hint

For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. e) Determinethe Marginal costand interpret the…
