- A company manufactures and sells x pocket calculators per week. If the weekly cost and demand equations are given by: CX) = 8,000 + 5x p = 14 - 4,000 0arrow_forward3. The chief economist for Argus Corporation, a large appliance manufacturer, estimated the firm's short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form AVC = a + bQ + cQ² where AVC = dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q = number of vacuum cleaners pro- duced each month. Total fixed cost each month is $180,000. The following results were obtained: DEPENDENT VARIABLE: AVC R-SQUARE F-RATIO P-VALUE ON F OBSERVATIONS: 19 VARIABLE INTERCEPT Q Q2 Show Transcribed Text PARAMETER ESTIMATE 191.93 -0.0305 0.0000024 Ĵ 0.7360 STANDARD ERROR 54.65 39.428 T-RATIO 3.512 0.00789 23.866 0.00000098 2.449 0.0001 P-VALUE 0.0029 0.0014 0.0262 a.
