Mary Magnolia wants to open a flower shop, the Petal Pusher, in a new mall. She has her choice of three different floor sizes, 200 square feet, 500 square feet, or 1,000 square feet. The monthly rent will be $1 a square foot. Mary estimates that if she has F square feet of floor space and sells y bouquets a month, her variable costs will be c,(v) = y/2F per month. a. If she has 200 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost? b. If she has 500 square feet, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost? c. If she has 1,000 square feet of floor space, write down her marginal cost function and her average cost function. At what amount of output is average cost minimized? At this level of output, how much is average cost?

Could you show the profit and loss on the graph. Furthermore, the figures for cost you posted were incorrect as they are not dropdown options.
Given Cost and Price (demand) functions C(q) = 110q + 45000 and p(q) = - 2.8q + 800, what profit can be earned if the price is set to be $550 per item? U The profit is $ 1,?9 (Round to the nearest cent.) A company produces a special new type of TV. The company has fixed costs of $499,000, and it costs STT00 to produce each TV. The company projects that if it charges a price of $2300 for the TV, it will be able to sell 850 TVs. If the company wants to sell 900 TVs, however, it must lower the price to $2000. Assumo a linear demand. What is the marginal profit if 200 TVs are produced It is $ 0 per item. (Round answer to nearest dollar.)
Find average fixed cost if TFC is 250 and Output is 15 units
A company can produce 25 items for a total cost of $ 2250 with a fixed cost of $ 1000 and a selling price of $ 75. Find the cost, revenue, and profit function. Find the break even point. Sketch on the same graph the revenue and cost function and clearly label where the break even point is. When does the company have profit? Explain.
Costs and Profit Maximization: Work It Out 1 Suppose Margie decides to lease a photocopier and open up a black-and-white photocopying service in her dorm room for use by faculty and students. Her total cost, as a function of the number of copies she produces per month, is given in the table. Number of Photocopies Per Month Total Cost Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Revenue Profit 0 $100 1,000 $110 2,000 $125 3,000 $145 4,000 $175 5,000 $215 6,000 $285 a. Fill in the missing numbers in the table, assuming that Margie can charge 6 cents per black-and-white copy. Margie's fixed cost is: $ Variable cost, 0 photocopies/month: $ Variable cost, 1,000 photocopies/month: $ Variable cost, 2,000 photocopies/month: $ Variable cost, 3,000 photocopies/month: $ Variable cost, 4,000 photocopies/month: $…
a) Calculate the marginal product (MP1) for the mixers. Does the production function have increasing, decreasing, constant marginal product for the mixers? b) Suppose in the short run the amount of machines she has is fixed at 27. How many mixers should she use? How many baklavas will she produce? How much profit will she make? c)Usinag an isoprofit, as well as the production function, draw a diagram of your soltuion from part (b). carefully label all the slopes and intercepts. d) In the long run, how many mixers should she use? How many machines? How many baklavas will she make? e) Suppose that the government decides to provide a $1 subsidy per mixer. What is the profit-maximizing amount of input to use now?
