5. A toy factory has an annual demand for 20,000 of tops. It cost $1.50 to store one top per year. It costs $500 for each production set-up for these tops and $3.50 to manufacture a single top. Find the total cost function. fM Total Cost of Production is: T(g) = : + gM +, where q is number of units per productionm run; k is cost of storing 2 one item per year; g is cost of manufacturing a single unit of the product; f is fixed set-up cost for a production run; M is total demand of units per year. Given Constants Total Cost Function Find the optimum number of tops per batch as well as the number of batches per year. optimum number of tops optimum number of batches Find the total cost for this optimum production schedule.

An economist estimated that the cost function of a single-product firm is:C(Q) = 60 + 30Q + 25Q2 + 5Q3.Based on this information, determine the following:a. The fixed cost of producing 10 units of output.$ b. The variable cost of producing 10 units of output.$ c. The total cost of producing 10 units of output.$ d. The average fixed cost of producing 10 units of output.$ e. The average variable cost of producing 10 units of output.$ f. The average total cost of producing 10 units of output.$ g. The marginal cost when Q = 10.$
At an output of 20,000 units per year, a firm's variable costs are $80,000 and its average fixed costs are $3. The total costs per year for the firm are: $80,000. $100,000. $140,000. $240,000.

A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is $700 for the first computer, $250 for the second, $300 for the third, $350 for the fourth, $400 for the fifth, $450 for the sixth, and $500 for the seventh. Create a table that shows the company’s output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? If the company sells the computers for $500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss?
