A group can charter a particular aircraft at a fixed total cost. If 36 people charter the aircraft rather than 40 people, then the cost per person is greater by $12. Whatis the fixed total cost, in dollars, to charter the aircraft?
State whether actual (A) or estimated (E) costs are more likely to be used to carry out the following activities: calculate taxes, make bids, pay bonuses, determine profit or loss, predict sales, set prices, evaluate proposals, distribute resources, plan production, and set goals.
A marginal cost fiction C'(q) is given in the figure below. If the fixed costs are $10,000, estimate: a) the total cost to produce 20 units (use left and right hand sums) b) the additional cost if the company increased production from 20 to 40 units
An engineering firm recently conducted a study to determine its benefit and cost structure (total cost). The results of the study are as follows: The total benefit from producing q units is TB(q): 15,000q-15q2 so that its marginal benefit is %3D MB(q): = 15,000-30q and the total cost of producing q units is TC (q) = 687,500 + 10q2 so that its marginal cost is MC (q) = 20q 1. Find the level of output q' that yields the maximum profit. 2. Find the maximum profit Tt" achieved by the firm at the output level q".
Costs that do not vary with output are Question 8 options: a) fixed costs b) variable costs c) marginal costs d) explicit costs
Given: TC = 3,000 + 100Q TC = 3000 + 100Q ATC = Q = 10 AC = TC / Q TC = 3000 + 100*10 = 4000 ATC = 4000/10 = 400 MC = ∆TC / ∆Q = 100 How do you figure the Fixed Cost with Fomula?

The 1,850 residents of Great Donut Island are all fishermen. Every morning they go to the nearest port to launch their fishing boats and then return in the evening with their catch. The residents are evenly distributed along the 20-mile perimeter of the island. Each port has a fixed cost of $1,850/day. If the optimal number of ports is 7, what must be the per mile travel cost? Instructions: Round your answer to the nearest penny (2 decimal places).
