Using price (P), quantity (q), and average total cost (ATC), define profit rate (per unit profit), and total profits? Now assume you own a small business. Explain the difference between economic profits and accounting profits as concerns your business. What does it mean to say economic profit equals zero for your business and why does the firm continue to operate if economic profit equals zero (normal profit)?
firm’s total fixed cost is $360,000. Construct a table of its total and average fixed costs for output levels varying from 0 to 6 units. Draw the corresponding TFC and AFC curves by referring the calculated values. Explain the trends of AFC with the change in output.
Suppose a firm producing cell phones is operating such that marginal costs are much lower than average costs. If the firm produces one more cell phone, average costs will rise. fall. remain constant. reach their maximum.
Consider an industry with identical firms. Suppose the cost function of firm i, i=1,...,n, is given by Ci(q) = 6 q² +91 It follows that the slope of firm's marginal cost curve is equal to ... (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number. Don't round, even if rounding makes sense...)
Find the marginal cost, marginal revenue, and marginal profit functions. C(x) = 7x²; R(x) = x³ + 11x + 15 marginal cost marginal revenue marginal profit Find all values of x for which the marginal profit is zero. Interpret your answer. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) X =
depict a ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits(π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determinewhether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
What is the term for the minimum level of output a firm must produce to cover its variable costs in the short run? a) Shutdown point b) Marginal cost point c) Average cost point d) Total cost point
Suppose you own an acre of land. You could grow crops on that land. The cost of seeds is $100. The crops you grow from those seeds will sell for $350. You could also rent the land to another farmer. The rent you could eam is $300. Calculate your economic profit. (Do not include a $ sign in your answer.) Answer: Suppose the total cost function for a firm is given by: TC= 100 + 2q +0.5q2. Find the marginal cost function and then use that to determine the marginal cost of the 10th unit. (Do not include a $ sign in your response.) # Answer:

If a firm's average variable cost curve decreases when the firm increases its output, then the firm is below the shutdown/operate output level. True or False
A firm's profit function is (q) = R(q) - C(q) = 140q-(410+20q+10q²). What is the positive output level that maximizes the firm's profit (or minimizes its loss)? What is the firm's revenue, variable cost, and profit? Should it operate or shut down in the short run? The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized is q = (Enter your response as a whole number.) At this level of output, the firm's revenue (R) is $. (Enter your response as a whole number.) At the profit-maximizing level of output, the firm's variable cost (VC) is $ Profit (x) is $. (Enter your response as a whole number and include a minus sign if necessary.) The firm should in the short run. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
The market for drones is perfectly competitive. Assume for simplicity that fractions of everything, including firms, is possible. We have identical firms, each with a Total Cost curve of TC=215+58q+q^2 and Marginal Cost curve MC=58+2q. Market demand is Q=744-2P. What is the Average Variable Cost if the firm produces 17 units?
