Concept explainers
a
Interpretation:Graphical representation of the cost function, its shape and economic phenomenon for such shape is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Break-even point is a point when total cost is equal to total revenue. This is no
Marginal cost is the addition to total cost when one more unit of good is produced.
b
Interpretation:The level of production when cumulative cost is equal to $1,000,000 is to be determined.
Concept Introduction:Cumulative cost is the addition to cost for every unit produced. It increases with increase in production.
c
Interpretation:Cumulative volume of production where it makes sense to invest in the facility is to be determined.
Introduction:
Cumulative production is an addition to production when more units of output are produced.

- A monopolist's total cost is TC = 4.5Q, where Q is output. Demand is Q = 10 - P , where P is price. When the monopolist chooses the profit maximizing Q*, the profit earned isarrow_forwardA firm produces three products. Product A sells for $60; its variable costs are $20. Product B sells for $200; its variable costs are $120. Product C sells for $25; its variable costs are $10. Last year, the firm sold 1000 units of A 2000 units of B, and 10,000 units of C The firm has fixed costs of $320,000 per year. Calculate the break-even point of the firm.arrow_forwardAn airline company offers four fairs as shown in the table below. The demand distribution for each fare is normal with mean and standard deviation as given in the table. Find an estimate of the protection levels for the classes using the heuristic EMSR-a.

- I need a detailed explanation on how to solve this problem: A bagel shop buys each bagel for $0.08 and sells each bagel for $0.35. Leftover bagels at the end of the day are purchased by a local soup kitchen for $0.03 per bagel. The shop’s owner has observed for the daily demand, Q, the following probabilities, f(Q): Q 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 f(Q) 0.05 0.10 0.10 0.20 0.25 0.15 0.10 0.05 - What is the optimal daily order in multiples of 5 (include the model name and formula)? - If the daily demand is normally distributed (the mean and variance can be obtained from the table above), then what is the optimal daily order?arrow_forwardBarbara Flynn sells papers at a newspaper stand for $0.40. The papers cost her $0.30, giving her a $0.10 profit on each one she sells. From past experience Barbara knows that: a) 20% of the time she sells 150 papers. b) 20% of the time she sells 200 papers. c) 30% of the time she sells 250 papers. d) 30% of the time she sells 300 papers. Assuming that Barbara believes the cost of a lost sale to be $0.05 and any unsold papers cost her $0.30 and she orders 250 papers. Use the following random numbers: 14, 4, 13, 9, and 25 for simulating Barbara's profit. (Note: Assume the random number interval begins at 01 and ends at 00.) Based on the given probability distribution and the order size, for the given random number Barbara's sales and profit are (enter your responses for sales as integers and round all profit responses to two decimal places): Random Number Sales Profit 14 4 13 9 25arrow_forwardYour County has asked you to analyze the purchase of some dump trucks. Each truck wil cost $45,000 and have an operating and maintaining cost that starts at $15,000 the first year and increases by $ 2,000 per year. Assume the salvage value at the end of year is $9,000 and the interest rate is 12%. Estimate the equivalent annual cost of each truck.arrow_forward
- There are currently 60 perfectly competitive firms producing output q. Their cost function is C = 10 + 3q^2 he demand in this market is QD = 1200 - 40p. Each firm's variable profit is? Show graphically too! a) 48 b) 2880 c) 24 d) 240 e) 32arrow_forward5ñarrow_forwardIn your country, the demand curve of a litre of petrol is given by: P = 124 - 3QD. Due to political unrest coupled with the slow recovery from pandemic, the global price of petrol surged which led to an increase of price per litre of petrol in your country from TK58 to TK88. After the price rise, the employees of the company you work for demanded a pay-raise. Your employer, hence, increased your income from 32954 taka to 42762 taka. The new demand curve at the new income level is P = 139 - 3QD. i. Calculate the income elasticity of demand (YED). ii. Now assume that the increase in income (and the subsequent shift of the demand curve) had occured before the rise in price, then what would the YED be?arrow_forward
- Elsa Corporation, a company that manufactures and markets low-end table computers, asked ourfriend Ms. Market Researcher to create the demand curve for its SD 721 model. She conductedsome market research and gave Elsa the demand curve as well as some additional information:350,000 units of SD 721 will sell at a price of $250.(1) What is the point price elasticity if 500,000 units will sell at a price of $200? (2) What is the point price elasticity if 125,000 units will sell at a price of $305?arrow_forwardIf y= 120 - 4x with y= product and x= price of product, what happens to the demand if the price is increased by 3 units?
