Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $110,000 in a given year. The family spent $20,000 on fuel, $30,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides, and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $30,000 working at other occupations, the accounting profit for the family farm is , the economic profit for the family farm is , (please put your answer for both accounting and economic profit in numerical values without any dollar sign, comma or decimal places.) Should the family open the family farm? (please put your answer as either yes or no, lower cases only). If the family members opportunity cost of their time increases and now, they could earn $35,000 working elsewhere, the accounting profit for the family farm is , the economic profit for the family farm is (please put your answer for both accounting and economic profit in numerical values without any dollar sign, comma or decimal places.) Suppose instead the family members could now earn $40,000 for working elsewhere, should the family open the family farm please put your answer as either yes or no, lower cases only).

If You are the owner and only employee of a company that writes computer software that is used by gamblers to collect sports data. Last year you earned a total revenue of $90,000. Your costs for equipment, rent, and supplies were $60,000. To start this business you invested an amount of your own capital that could pay you a return of $40,000 a year. then your accounting profit is: Select one: a. 20,000 Ob. 30,000 O c. 40,000 O d. 10,000 O e. 60,000
A firm in a purely competitive industry is currently producing 1,400 units per day at a total cost of $500. If the firm produced 1,200 units per day, its total cost would be $350, and if it produced 900 units per day, its total cost would be $325. Instructions: Enter your answers rounded to two decimal places. a. What is the firm's ATC per unit at these three levels of production? At 1,400 units per day, ATC = $ At 1,200 units per day, ATC = $ At 900 units per day, ATC = $ b. If every firm in this industry has the same cost structure, is the industry in long-run competitive equilibrium? |(Click to select) ♥ c. From what you know price in long-run equilibrium? pout these ns' cost structures, what the highest possible price per unit could exist as the market 2$ d. If that price ends up being the market price and if the normal rate of profit is 10 percent, then what will each firm's accounting profit per unit be? cents per unit
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.
Suppose the cost of renting a snowy bus were to fall from $30 per hour to $20 per hour. What do you expect would happen in the short-run (stage 1 equilibrium) to (a) the number of cones produced by each snowy bus; (b) total production of cones in the market, and (c) economic profits of snowy bus businesses? Briefly explain (you don't need to do any calculations, just explain inwords).

pshotic 166& 5. Profit maximization and shutting down in the short run Suppose that the market for microwave ovens is a competitive market.

Suppose that the perfectly competitive firm with the costs and revenues shown in the figure to the right is contemplating whether or not to produce 12 units of output. If the firm were to produce the 12th unit and, in doing so, increase its hourly total costs to $68 from $56, what would be its marginal cost? Would producing 12 units maximize the firm's profits? What would be the firm's total revenues per hour? What would be its hourly economic profits? If it were to produce the 12th unit, the firm's marginal cost would be MC = $ nothing per unit. Since the market price is P = $ nothing per unit and this price ▼ is larger than equals is less than the firm's marginal revenue, marginal cost ▼ is less than is larger than equals marginal revenue, and producing the 12th unit ▼ would would not satisfy the profit-maximizing rule. The firm's total revenue would equal $ nothing per hour and economic profits would equal $ nothing per hour. (Enter your responses as whole…
