Q 5. (В) Sunrise Juice Company sells its output in a perfectly competitive market. The firm's total cost function is given in the following schedule: Total Cost Output (Units) ($) 50 10 120 20 170 30 210 40 260 50 330 60 430 Total costs include a "normal" return on the time (labor services) and capital that the owner has invested in the firm. The prevailing market price is $7 per unit. (a) Prepare (i) marginal cost and (ii) average total cost schedules for the firm. (b) What is the firm's profit maximizing output level?

2. A competitive firm uses two variable factors to produce its output, with a production function q min{x₁, x₂}. The price of factor 1 is $8 and the price of factor 2 is $5. Due to a lack of warehouse space, the company cannot use more than 10 units of x₁. The firm must pay a fixed cost of $80 if it produces any positive amount but doesn't have to pay this cost if it produces no butput. What is the smallest integer price that would make a firm willing to produce a positive amount? b. d. $44 $41 $29 $13 $21
A company that manufactures tablet computers determines that the fixed costs for producing the tablet computers are $45,000. The variable costs for producing each tablet computer are $75. The company decides to sell each tablet computer for $250. Part A: Write the cost and revenue equations if the company produces and sells a tablet computers.
4 total cost is c(4, r, q) 5 total 75. If Firm A has constant marginal cost, and input prices double to 2r and 2w, how much will it cost to produce q 6 units of output (what is c(6, 2r, 2w))? (HINT: First calculate the marginal cost for c(q, r, w), then calculate c(6, r, w), and then calculate c(6, 2r, 2w)) = Firm A has cost function c(q, r, w). At output q = cost is c(5,r, q) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 90 ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 150 c(6, 2r, 2w) O c(6, 2r, 2w) = 180 - = - 75 160 = 60, and at output q -

Answer fast this MCQ question.......
Increasing returns and imperfect competition: (a) The production function for the word processor is Y = X – 100 million if X is larger than 100 million, and zero otherwise. By spending $100 million, you create the first copy, and then $1 must be spent distributing it (say for the DVD it comes on). For each dollar spent over this amount, you can create another copy of the software. (b) The production function is plotted in Figure 6.5. Output is zero whenever X is less than 100 million. Does this production function exhibit increasing returns? Yes. We spend $100 million (plus $1) to get the first copy, but doubling our spending will lead to 100 million copies (plus 2). So there is a huge degree of increasing returns here. Graphically, this can be seen by noting that the production function “curves up” starting from an input of zero, a common characteristic of production functions exhibiting increasing returns. (Constant returns would be a straight line starting…
