The table below depicts the prices and total costs a local used-book store faces. The bookstore competes with a number of similar stores, but it capitalizes on its location and the word-of-mouth reputation of the coffee it serves to its customers. Calculate the store's total revenue, total profit, marginal revenue, and marginal cost at each level of output, beginning with the first unit (Enter all values rounded to the nearest penny.) Total Price per Book (S) Costs ($) Total Total Marginal Revenue (S) Marginal Cost ($) Revenue ($) Profit (S) - 4 Output 5.75 4.00 1 5.50 7.25 5.5 - 1.75 5.5 3.25 2 5.25 9.50 10.5 1 2.25 3 5.00 11.60 15 3.4 4.5 2.1 4 4.75 14.10 19 4.9 4 25 4.50 17.60 22.5 4.9 3.5 3.5 6 4.25 21.75 25.5 3.75 3 4.15 7 4.00 26.50 28 1.5 2.5 4.75 Based on marginal analysis, what is the approximate profit-maximizing level of output for this business?
Problem 3 A furniture maker builds and sells wooden benches. The demand function for the benches is given by the function p = 1600 -x where p is the price per bench and x is the number of benches sold. The furniture maker also knows that the fixed costs for the business are $20,000 and each bench costs $75 to make. Part a) Create a function that represents revenue as a function of the number of benches produced and create a function that represents the cost as a function of the number of benches produced. Make sure to label your input and output variables. Part b) How many benches should be produced and sold in order to maximize revenue? What price should the furniture maker sell them? (Make sure to show your work) Part c) How many benches should be produced and sold in order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit? (Make sure to show your work)
For a certain company, the cost function for producing items is C (x) = 30 x + 150 and the revenue function for selling æ items is R(x) = -0.5(x - 100)2 +5,000. The maximum capacity of the company is 160 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C (x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit! Answers to some of the questions are given below so that you can check your work. 1. Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function? P(x) = Hint: Profit = Revenue - Cost as we examined in Discussion 3. 2. What is the domain of P(x)? Hint: Does calculating P(x) make sense when x = -10 or x = = 1,000? 3. The company can choose to produce either 70 or 80 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose? Profit when producing 70 items = Number Profit when producing 80…
Suppose a manager is faced with the following demand curve for a new software application in a monopoly market, Q = 200 - 50P and the short run total cost function is TC = 2Q + Q2 / 30 If the manager is able to maximize the firms' profit in this monopoly market, what is the total profit value?
PakPerfect Inc. estimates equation of its total costs of production as TC = 500 + 10Q + 5Q2 and market demand for its product as Qd = 105 – (1/2) P, where Q is quantity in units and P is price in Pak$. Write the equations of the firm’s costs, as a function of Q: Average Total Cost ATC Average Variable Cost AVC Average Fixed Cost AFC Given above costs can you determine what will be the firm’s production in Stage 1?

How do you interpret the profit or loss condition of PakPerfect? Use a two-panel graph of the Market and…
1 Mario owns a wood-fired pizza shop which imitates traditional Italian methods. She uses a unique sauce that attracts a loyal following of customers. The demand for her pizzas is q = 1650 – 250p, and her costs are TC 0.72+0.0035q. q is the number of pizzas sold per week, TC(q) is Maria's weekly total cost, and p is the price of a pizza. a) What price and output will Maria choose to maximize profits? b) Maria returns to college and asks her cousin Victor to manage her pizza business. Victor faces the same demand and cost conditions as Maria, but he decides to maximize revenue. What price and output should he choose?

A firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve: P = 100 - 0.01Q where Q is weekly production and P is price, measured in cents per unit. The firm's cost function is given by C = 50Q + 30,000. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, the firm's level of production is price in cents is and total profit per week in dollars is (please put your answer for price, quantity and profit in numerical values without any dollar sign, comma or decimal place). If the government decides to levy a tax of 10 cents per unit on this product, the new level of production is the price received by the monopolists after tax in cents is and total profit per week in dollars is the price facing the consumer after the imposition of the tax in cents is (please put your answer for price, quantity and profit in numerical values without any dollar sign, comma or decimal place).
A manufacturer of mountain bikes has the following marginal cost function: C′(q)=700/0.5q+2 where qq is the quantity of bicycles produced.

In the 1928, Knoxville was served by a single railroad line. Because alternative forms of transportation were not close substitutes for rail transportation in 1928, this railroad had a transportation monopoly in Knoxville. The estimated monthly fixed cost associated with operating a railroad was $1,200. In addition, there was a constant average variable cost and marginal cost of $0.02 per ton-mile associated with the railroad's operation. The estimated monthly demand for transportation on the railroad was: Qd = q = 80,000 - 1,000,000P where Qd was the monthly quantity demanded in ton-miles and P was the price per ton-mile in dollars. Based upon the above equation, answer the following questions: a. What is the profit-maximizing price and quantity? b. Would a private company build the railroad? c. What is the socially optimal price and quantity?
