Suppose a firm with a production function given by Q = 30K0.5L0.5 produces 4,000 units of output. The firm pays a wage of $50 per unit and pays a rental rate of capital of $30 per unit. MPL = 15K0.5/L0.5 and MPK = 15L0.5/K0.5. How many units of labor and capital should the firm employ to minimize the cost of producing 4,000 units of output, and what would be the total cost?
The quantity, Q, of a product manufactured by a company is given by Q = ak0.6L0.4, where a is a positive constant, K is the quantity of capital and L is the quantity of labor used. Capital costs are $32 per unit, labor costs are $8 per unit, and the company wants costs for capital and labor combined to be no higher than $240. Suppose you are asked to consult for the company, and learn that 6 units each of capital and labor are being used. (a) What do you advise? Should the company use more or less labor? More or less capital? If so, by how much? Enter the exact answers. The company should increase ✓labor by 6 unit(s). (b) Complete the sentence below to sell your advice to the board of directors. Round your answer to two decimal places. Reducing i unit(s) and reduce 176.63 capital by 1.5 the quantity of capital and increasing the quantity of labor will increase production by % while holding costs to $240.
XYZ Company's product has a contribution margin per unit of $11.25 and a variable cost ratio of 60%. What is the selling price of the product? Select one: a. $28.125. b. $22.5. c. $37.5. d. $40. e. $50.
A firm has the capacity to produce 599,374 units of a product each year. At present, it is operating at 21 percent of capacity. The firm's annual revenue is $1,054,613. Annual fixed costs are $346,003 and the variable costs are $.51 cents per unit. The following equations will be useful. Profit = Revenue - Costs Revenue = Price each * quantity Costs = Fixed Cost + Variable Costs Variable Cost = Variable Cost per unit * number of units At the break even point, Profit = 0 What is the price for each unit?
We know the followings about a given unit of the company: Planned output was 40,000 Hours, while the actual output was 39,000 Hours. They planned 3,000 EUR (From this 500 EUR is fixed cost.) costs, and they recorded 3,100 EUR on the base of actual transactions. And we talk about the internal service unit! Tasks: Let’s analyse the costs! (Cost difference)

What is average fixed cost?
The total cost formula for a company can be modeled by TC = 12570+ 50x where x represents the number of items sold. A formula for the company's total income is modeled with TR 80x, where a represents the number of items sold. This company will breakeven when its total costs equal its total income. - How many items must this company sell to breakeven? Answer:
