Scenario 15-2 The information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for $40 per unit. When the firm produces and sells 140 units of output, its average total cost is $24.5. When the firm produces and sells 141 units of output, its average total cost is $24.60. Refer to Scenario 15-2. Suppose the firm is producing 140 units of output and its fixed cost is $975. Then its variable cost amounts to O a. $9,360.25. O b. $2,455.00. O c. $3,430.00. O d. $7,500.00.
Suppose the Sunglasses Hut Company has a profit function given by P(q) - 0.01q² + 5q - 40, = where q is the number of thousands of pairs of sunglasses sold and produced, and P(q) is the total profit, in thousands of dollars, from selling and producing a pairs of sunglasses. A) Find a simplified expression for the marginal profit function. (Be sure to use the proper variable in your answer.) Answer: MP(q) = B) How many pairs of sunglasses (in thousands) should be sold to maximize profits? (If necessary, round your answer to three decimal places.) Answer: thousand pairs of sunglasses need to be sold. C) What are the actual maximum profits (in thousands) that can be expected? (If necessary, round your answer to three decimal places.) Answer: thousand dollars of maximum profits can be expected.
Road Runner Co is a Pakistani manufacturer making Bicycles. It exports to two markets,Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Demand for Bicycles in thesetwo markets is given by the following Functions: Bangladesh Q1 = 12 – P1 Sri Lanka Q2 = 8 – P2 Where Q1 and Q2 are respective quantities sold (in thousands) andP1 and P2 are the respective prices (in Pak. Rupees per unit) in the two markets. Total cost function is C = 5 + 2 (Q1+ Q2) (i) Company is effectively able to price discriminate in the two markets. What will be the total profits? (ii) Suppose the company does not engage in price discrimination. By charging the same price in the two markets what are the profit maximizing levels of price, output, and the total profits? (iii) Analyze, with graphs, the two alternative pricing strategies available to the company.
Let's say jacky has a demand function for a product made in Ney york city given that the function D(q)=-1.15q+270, where q is the number of items in demand and D(q) is the price per item, in dollars, that can be charged when q units are sold. Say that the fixed costs of production for the item is $5,000 and variable costs are $10 per item produced. If 100 items are produced and sold, what are the finds :
The local newspaper has asked you (as a top economics student) to provide an industry analysis of hair stylists in Midtown. Here is what you've found so far: 1) There are 100 hair stylists in Midtown which all compete against one another for clients. 2) The market price for a hair styling is $20. 3) All firms in the market have a monthly overhead cost of $5,625 and a monthly variable cost that you've determined to be VC = $5q + $.01q2 The optimal amount of hair stylings given per month per firm is ___ and the monthly profits per firm are $___.
A firm's short-run production function is q=3L0.2 , while its cost function is C = 2L. Furthermore, the firm can sell its output in a perfectly competitive market at p = 40. 6.1 Find the value of the firm’s profit when L = 50 . 6.2 Calculate the level of L that satisfies the first-order condition for profit maximization. 6.3 Calculate the value of the second order derivative (SOD) that ensures profit is being maximised at the value of L found in 6.2 .
Keep in mind that the formula for a firm's cost function is: TC = FC+ C(Q) TC → Total Costs: FC → Fixed Costs: C(Q) → Cost of production*Quantity produced → also known as Variable Costs Q3: Firms A and B are two firms supplying products in two separate differentiated goods markets. Equations (1) and (2) give the total cost functions of the two firms: - Firm A: TC = 2Q --- Equation (1) - Firm B: TC = 10 + 2Q --- Equation (2) Each firm has the ability to produce a maximum quantity of 80,000 units in ten batches of 8,000. The cost of production per unit for each firm is $2. Firm B has a fixed cost of $10. (a) Use the information given about firm A and appropriate diagrams/figures (hint:think isoprofit curves, demand curves) to explain how the equilibrium will change for firm A if it's cost of production falls by $1 Assume demand curves to be linear
On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.

A Los Angeles firm uses a single input to produce a recreational commodity according to a production function f(x)=4x1/2, where x is the number of units of input. The price of the commodity is $100 per unit, and the input cost is $50 per unit. The fixed costs are zero. A: Write down the firm’s profit function. C:Find the profit maximizing amounts of input and output. What is the maximum profit? C:Suppose that the firm is taxed at $20 per unit of its output (note it is a quantity tax) and the price of its input is subsidized by $10 per unit. What is the new input and output levels? What is the new maximal profit?
