The cost structure of a manufacturer of microchips is described in the table shown below. The firm's fixed costs equal $10,000 per day. Calculate the average variable cost, average fixed cost, and average total cost at each output level. (Your answers should be rounded to the nearest cent.)

Question 1 Include correctly labeled diagrams, if useful or required, in explaining your answers. A correctly labeled diagram must have all axes and curves clearly labeled and must show directional changes. If the question prompts you to "Calculate," you must show how you arrived at your final answer. Quantity of Output Total Cost $12 1 $14 2 $18 $24 4 $32 5 $42 6 $54 7 $68 The table above shows the total cost function for a typical firm producing hats in a perfectly competitive market. The market price for hats is $9 per hat. (a) Calculate the average variable cost of the fifth unit. Show your work. (b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing quantity of hats? Explain using marginal analysis. (c) Draw a correctly labeled graph showing the firm's demand and marginal cost curves, and show the profit-maximizing quantity of hats determined in part (b).

QUESTION 2 A firm is considering changing its plant size. It calculates the amount of output it would be able to produce and the total cost for various plant sizes, as shown in the accompanying table. If the firm is currently using plant size C, the firm is experiencing which of the following? Plant Size Quantity Total Cost ($) A 1 10 10 80 C 100 900 200 2,000 500 5,500 F 1,000 15,000 economies of scale O diseconomies of scale constant returns to scale O diminishing marginal product O increasing marginal product
Section 11.5 The Short-Run and Long-Run Average Total Cost Curves exhibit 1 SRATC for small plant SRATC for medium plant SRATC tor large plant LRATC B $500 $400 Economies of Scale Constant Returns to Saie 1,000 1,200 Quantity of Computers (per day) Notice that the long-run average total cost (LRATC) curve is much flatter than the short-run average total cost (SRATC) curve. This is because firms can be more flexible in the long run-they can choose which short-run cost curve they want to operate along, by choosing their plant scale. But they cannot do this in the short run, during which they are stuck with their existing short-run cost curve. That is, in the short run, the firm operates with the short-run curve it has based on past decisions. However, in the lang run, the firm is able to choose the short-run curve it wants to use. In Exhibit 1 above, explain why the curve between A and B looks different than the curve from A to C. Provide an example of how a firm could opt to follow the…

A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is $700 for the first computer, $250 for the second, $300 for the third, $350 for the fourth, $400 for the fifth, $450 for the sixth, and $500 for the seventh. Create a table that shows the company’s output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? If the company sells the computers for $500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss?
