Suppose that a firm produces 275,000 units a year and sells them all for $8 each. The explicit costs of production are $1,800,000 and the implicit costs of production are $400,000. The firm earns an accounting profit of Multiple Choice $400,000 and an economic profit of $0. $2,200,000 and an economic profit of $275,000. $275,000 and an economic profit of $2,200,000. $0 and an economic profit of $400,000.

The Hokey Pokey, a children's day care center is thinking about changing the nature of its business. It is considering shutting down the day care center, and re-opening their business as an adult night club called the Hanky Panky. The Hokey Pokey currently makes $500 in profits. However, re-opening as the Hanky Panky will increase their profits from $500 to $1500. Friendly's Ice Cream which is currently located next to the Hokey Pokey is concerned because this move would reduce its profits by $1200. This would occur because they lose many of the families who currently come to the restaurant (some of which have their kids in the day care center.) but very few adult night club patrons are looking for ice cream According to economic theory, will the efficient outcome still likely occur, if there were many more surrounding stores with similar objections to the Hanky Panky? A) Yes, because the Coase Theorem will still apply as parties will bargain to the…
A hair salon offers three services: haircuts, color treatments, and styling. The salon charges $35 for a cut, $65 for a color treatment, and $30 for styling. Last month, the salon sold 68 haircuts, 34 color treatments, and 22 styling sessions. If the salon s costs for the month totaled $2,844, what was its profit? $2,407 $2,406 $2,408 $2,409
Calvin grows beautiful orchids. His total fixed cost is $90 a day, and his average variable cost is $2 a plant. Few people know about Calvin's Orchids and he is maximizing his profit by selling 18 orchids a day for $7 a plant. Calvin thinks that if he spends $20 a day on advertising, he can increase his market and sell 48 orchids a day for $7 a plant. If Calvin advertises will his average total cost increase or decrease at the quantity produced? If Calvin advertises and as a result he sells 48 orchids a day for $7 a plant, his O A. average total cost decreases if total cost decreases, and increases if total cost increases average total cost does not change at the quantity produced O B. O C. average total cost increases at the quantity produced O D. average total cost decreases at the quantity produced
Suppose that firm 1 is a restaurant, whose costs are ingredients, staff and space. Ingredients and staff are paid for weekly and staff can be hired or fired at will. The rental for the space is a one year lease, to move out of this space and into a smaller or larger one would take at least one year. Firm 2 is a door-to-door sales firm where the costs are inventory and staff. Both are paid every two weeks, and staff can be fired or fired at will (but must be paid for the current two weeks) while inventory can be bought or sold within a week. Is one month within the “short run” for firm 1? Is one month within the “short run” for firm 2? Explain your answer.
3. Gazelle Corp, a sports shoe firm, is currently selling 800 pairs of a certain shoe per month. It is currently charging a price of £40, but this has recently been reduced from £45, because sales were only reaching 750 units per month. Its total costs are £28,000 per month, and these have risen £1500 due to the increase in sales. a) Derive the cost and demand functions for the firm, assuming these are both linear. b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the current price. c) Comment on the firm's existing strategy in terms of profit maximization, without doing any calculations. d) Calculate the profit-maximizing price and output. e) Calculate the amount of profit that the firm is currently foregoing.
Assume a firm is producing at a quantity where marginal cost is higher than marginal revenue. Which of the following is true? 1) To maximize profit. the firm should produce a lower quantity. 2) To maximize profit, the firm should produce a higher quantity. 3) The firm is currently maximizing profit. 4) To maximize profit, the firm should double production.
Assume that the marginal revenue equals rising marginal cost at 100 units of output. At this output level, a profit-maximizing firm's total fixed cost is $700 and its average variable costs are $5. If the price of the product is $4 per unit and the firm produces the profit-maximizing level of output, How much profit firm will earn ?
Suppose Rina runs a small business that manufactures frying pans. Assume that the market for frying pans is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per frying pan. The following graph shows Rina's total cost curve. On the graph below, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for the first seven frying pans that Rina produces, including zero frying pans.

After serving as President of the United States for eight years, Dena has retired from politics and has decided to become a wheat farmer. The market for wheat is perfectly competitive and the current market price for wheat is $10 per bushel. Dena is currently producing 8 bushels (Dena can only produce this good in whole units). Her total cost at 8 units of output is $88 and her variable cost at 8 units of output is $64. Dena knows that if she produces a 9th unit her total cost will become $97, and if she produces a 10th unit her total cost will become $110. Dena’s goal is to maximize her profits. Based on this information, identify whether each of the following would be true or false and briefly explain your reasoning. Dena is currently losing money in the short-run and she would be better off if she shutdown and produced zero. Dena is not currently profit maximizing at 8 units of output and she could increase her profits if she expanded output by one unit. Dena would increase her…

Tex has a small plant that produces storm windows. Its total revenue function is TR 5.4Q, and the total cost function is TC = 30 + 3Q + 0.03Q2. a. What is the profit maximizing output for Tex? Show your work. What is his selling price? b. How much profit is he making? c. Now assume that Tex has fixed costs of only 5. With this different information, answer parts (a) and (b).

If no significant bargaining costs exists, does economic theory predict that the efficient outcome will still occur? A) Yes, the Hokey Pokey will change to the Hanky Panky because this gives them the highest profit.…
