For this part, solve for the utility maximization and cost minimization problems. Additionally, indicate each important step in solving for the utility maximization of the consumer and the cost minimization of the producer. a. Suppose that a producer wants to minimise the cost of producing t-shirts given as: TC = (WL)+ (RK) Q(K, L) = 10K0.2 L0.65 s.t. Suppose that the firm must produce Q = 945 shirts, and that the price of the using printing machine (capital) is Php 1700/hour and that the wage of each worker is Php 500/hour. Solve for the conditional input demand and the total cost of production per day (assuming that there are 8 hours in one working day).
Problem # 1 Demand for a firm’s product is: P = 140 - 6Q. The firm’s cost equation is: C = 300 + 20Q. a) Determine the firm’s optimal quantity and price. b) Suppose that demand changes to P = 80 - 6Q. Determine the new optimal quantity and price. Explain why the results differ from those in part a.
***If the demand function is: P+ 2Q = 50 The fixed cost is 30, the variable cost per unit is: Q +3 Find the value of Q that break even O a. Q=0.67, Q=15 O b. Q=0.55, Q=13 Oc. Q=0.26, Q=15 O d. Q=0.67, Q=19 e. None of the above
Consider two pizza places in NYC, Bella Napoli and SuperPizza. The current pandemic and the City's policy response halved the local demand for pizza and raised cost of production. Currently, the daily total cost at Bella Napoli is TC =q² + 12q + 100 and the recurring FC is entirely sunk in the short run. At SuperPizza, the daily total cost is TC = q? + 4q + 100 and $64 of the recurring FC is sunk in the short run. On weekends, the price of pizza is $20 per pie. On weekdays, it's $15. Should Bella Napoli and/or SuperPizza stay open on weekdays or shuold they stay open on weekends only?
Kasey Puzzle, Inc. sells geography-based puzzles. Kasey currently sells 25,000 units a month for $40 each, has variable costs of $20 per unit, and fixed costs of $300,000. Kasey Puzzle is considering increasing the price of its units to $60 per unit. This will not affect costs, but demand is expected to drop 20%. Should Kasey Puzzle increase the price of its product? с Multiple Choice O O Yes, profit will increase $500,000. No, profit will decrease $500,000. No, profit will decrease $300,000. Yes; profit will increase $300,000.
A7 You are the manager of a bakery that produces and packages gourmet muffins, and you currently sell muffins in packages of 3. A consultant’s report has estimated the (inverse) demand of a typical consumer to: P = 3 − 0.5Q If your cost of producing bran muffins is C(Q) = Q: (a) What is the marginal cost of muffins? (b) Draw the demand and marginal cost on a diagram. (c) Determine the optimal number of muffins to sell in a single package. (d) What price should the firm charge for each park?
a) Find the long run equilibrium price. Find the minimum efficient scale of the typical firm. Find the typical firm’s average cost when it operates at minimum efficient scale. In the long run, what price will prevail in this market? In words, clearly justify your answer. Suppose demand is QD = 3,200 – 100P. (b) Explain why you expect the number of firms in this market to be fifty-five. In this market, what is the short run supply function of the typical firm? What is the short run market supply function? Suppose the local government introduced a $90 licensing fee that raised the fixed cost from $160 to $250. c) Would the introduction of the licensing fee affect the short run equilibrium price or quantity? Justify your answer? Clearly explain why you expect that in the long run fewer larger firms will operate in this market. After the introduction of the licensing fee, what is the new long run equilibrium price? How many firms will survive in this market?

You and your friends love to go fishing. There is a sporting goods store in your neighborhood that sells a fishing pole for $82 but costs the store $60, and a fully stocked tackle box that sells for $58 but costs $40. Assuming the mark-up policy is linear, determine the equation that relates price (P) to cost (C). Following this same mark-up policy for other items, what would be the price of a pair of waders which cost the company $80?
The supply function for a product is 2p - 4 - 10 = 0. while the demand function for the same product is (p + 10)(4 + 30) = 7200. Find the market equilibrium point.
The widget market is competitive and includes no transaction costs. Five suppliers are willing to sell one widget at the following prices: $26, $14, $10, $5, and $3 (one seller at each price). Five buyers are willing to buy one widget at the following prices: $10, $14, $26, $34, and $42 (one buyer at each price). For each price shown in the following table, use the given information to enter the quantity demanded and quantity supplied. Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied ($ per widget) (widgets) (widgets) $3 $5 $10 $14 $26 $34 $42 In this market, the equilibrium price will be per widget, and the equilibrium quantity will be widgets.
The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
