The ABC Company is planning an aggressive new pricing strategy that offers its product to wholesalers at $75 per unit. While the goal is to expand sales, rather than necessarily maximize profits in the short term, it is critical that the company maintain a positive operating profit, since it cannot raise any more debt in the immediate future. Your manager would like to get a better sense of how realistic it is to recover variable costs at a price of $75, given the cost function C=45Q+3Q². How many units must the firm sell so that the average variable cost exactly equals the price of $757 O 10 0.25 0 50 150

Suppose the company lacks confidence in the accuracy of cost estimates expressed in a cubic equation and simply wants to use a linear approximation. Suggest a linear representation of this cubic equation. What difference would it make on the recommended profit-maximizing and revenue-maximizing prices

Your firm is considering adding a product line. The accounting department has determined that the cost function for this new product will be C(x) = 20x +4840 and the revenue function will be R(x) = 60x, where is the number of units sold. Additionally, the sales department has determined that you reasonably can expect to sell around 80 units. You must decide whether to go ahead with the new product line. Find the break-even quantity: Find the profit function: P(x) = Make your decision: O Cancel the product line: the quantity needed to break even is more than our firm can reasonably expect to sell. O Cancel the product line: producing these products is not profitable. O Proceed with the product line: the products are profitable and we can reasonably expect to meet our break-even quantity.
It has been determined that the cost of producing x units of a certain item is 8x + 365. The demand function is given by p = D(x) = 40 – 0.35x. %3D Step 1 of 2: Find the revenue function, Answer Keypad Keyboard Shortcuts R(x) =
PROBLEM #3 An auto parts manufacturer uses a production process for one of its parts that has a long- run production function as follows: q=20K²L, where L measures the number of labor hours and K measures the number of rental hours for the machine used in the production process. The machine can be rented for $90 per hour; the hourly wage for workers is $15. The manufacturer has a production budget of $23,220 for this type of part. If the manufacturer's goal is to maximize output, subject to the production budget, find the output-maximizing levels of capital and labor the manufacturer will choose.
Suppose you own a small business. Last month, your total revenue was $8,800. In addition, you paid $3,500 in monthly rent for office space, $300 in monthly rent for equipment, $2,500 to your workers in wages for the month, and $1,900 for the supplies you used that month. If you correctly determine that your economic profit last month was $200, then it must be true that your implicit costs are $3,600 per month. your implicit costs are $600 per month. your implicit costs are $400 per month. your implicit costs are $1,800 per month.
