Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is giver by C=300+2q², where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q; the fixed cost, FC, is $300). If the price of a watch is $80, how many watches should ypu produce to maximize profits? You should produce watches. (Enter your response as an integer.)

A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.
For the pizza seller whose marginal, average variable, and average total cost curves are shown in the graph below, what is the profit-maximizing level of output and how much profit will this producer earn if the price of pizza is $1.50 per slice?Instructions: In the graph below, label all three curves by clicking on the dropdown to select the appropriate label. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to include a negative sign (−). When the price is $1.50 per slice, the profit-maximizing level of output is slices per day. Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). At the profit-maximizing level of output, the producer's profit is: $ per day.
Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C= 300 + 29°, where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q; the fixed cost, FC, is $300). If the price of a watch is $80, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits? You should produce watches. (Enter your response as an integer.) What will the profit level be? Profit will be $ (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) At what minimum price will the firm produce a positive output? In the short run, the firm will produce if price is greater than $ per watch. (Enter your response as an integer.)
Juice producers are price takers since they compete in a highly competitive market. The going rate for juice at the market is $20.00.The prices are provided by: Cost overall = 0.2Q2+8Q+40 Cost Margin = 0.4Q+10 a) Determine how many juices the business should sell to increase earnings. CMg=P b) Determine the highest daily benefits. Total revenue = P*Q Costs in total = 0.2Q2+8Q+40 Total income + maximum perks Total price
You are the manager of a train company. Recently total sales have been a bit low and you are now considering means to give sales a boost. Market research has shown that currently the price of train tickets is historically low. Market research has also shown that the demand curve for train tickets is downward sloping. You may assume that your company is not a price taker on the market. b)One of your colleagues has suggested that it is important to lower the price of train tickets. In that case, she argues, the demand will increase. Do you agree with her? Explain why. c) She continues her argument by concluding that if the demand goes up, the total value of sales of train tickets should therefore increase. Do you agree with her? Explain why. hi, can you answer part b and pact c for this question in detail please, thanks
Optimization Problem #5
Mary owns a Mrs. Field's cookie shop. The number of cookies sold in a day, x, depends on the price of the cookie, p, and is given by the relationship x = -2000p + 4000. If Mary wants to bring in a daily revenue of $1020, what is the highest price she can sell her cookies at to make $1020?

A movie theater shows films for a community of 10000 people. Right now, the price per ticket is $17.50. In the past, when they increased or decreased the price per ticket, they discovered that for every dollar (or fraction) that the price was increased or decreased, the attendance decreased or increased proportionally by 200 people. The theater owner pays the Film Distribution Company $10 (incremental cost) in royalties per person whoviews the film. Find a. The willingness to pay distribution of the movie goers. b. The average price they would be willing to pay. c. The price per ticket that maximizes revenue. d. Should the theater owner increase or decrease the price per ticket if she wants to maximize contribution? e. Find the consumer surplus if the tickets are priced at the price that maximizes contribution. Please complete in excel showing formulas on how it was completed
1. Suppose you are the owner of a burger restaurant that has a cost of production given by C = 400 + 0.02q^2 where q is the number of burgers produced per day. Assume that the market for burgers is perfectly competitive. a. If the market price for a burger is $10, how many burgers should the manager plan to produce in a day? b. What is the profit level? Is this the maximum profit that the restaurant can make per day? c. What output will the firm produce if the price of a burger goes down to $8?
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?
