- Q.5 A firm is making two products A & B. Each unit of A incurs a cost of production to the tune of $150 and that of B incurs a cost of $200. Product A earns a profit of $15/unit and B gets $20/unit. The estimated monthly demand of both A & B is at maximum 500 units. Monthly production budget is set at $50,000.How many units of A & B should the firm make in order to maximize profit. Conduct sensitivity analysis and answer the following questions: 1. State the optimal solution. 2. What is the objective function value? 3. Find out the range of profit for A in the objective function for which the above solution remains optimal. 4. Which constraint/s is/are binding? 5. Interpret the shadow price for production budget.40 - 2P and its total cost 5. A firm's demand function is Q function is defined as TC = 100 + 2Q + 0.25 Q? . Use these two functions to form the firm's profit function and then determine the level of output that yields the profit maximum. What is the level of profit at the optimum level of output?Would a cost function of 0 mean a linear line of supply curve? For example if 10 firms are on the market selling 10 goods and the cost function is 0?
- A firm has a linear demand function for its product. When the price of the product isSh.220, the quantity demanded is 40 units. When the price increases to Sh.240, thequantity demanded becomes 30 units. In addition, the firm’s marginal cost function isgiven by:MC = 40q – 2q2 + 2Fixed cost = Sh.5 millionWhere q = quantity demanded, MC = marginal cost (Sh. million)Evaluate the level of output that maximizes profits.you are an accountant for a manufacterer of radios. the demand function for the tablets is p= 40-4x2 where x is the number of tablets produced in millions. it costs the company $15 to make a tablet. write an equation for the manufactures profit as a function of the number of tablets produced. the company currently produces 1 million tablets and makes a profit of $21000000, but you would like to scale up production a bit, what greater number of tablets could the company produce to yield the same profit(b) You are the CEO for a lightweight compasses manufacturer. The demand function for the lightweight compasses is given by p = 40−4q2where q is the number of lightweight compasses produced in millions. It costs the company $15 to make a lightweight compass. (i) Write an equation giving profit as a function of the number of lightweight compasses produced. (ii) At the moment the company produces 2 million lightweight compasses and makes a profit of $18,000,000, but you would like to reduce production. What smaller number of lightweight compasses could the company produce to yield the same profit?
- The following graph plots daily cost curves for a firm operating in the competitive market for fitness trackers. Hint: Once you have positioned the rectangle on the graph, select a point to observe its coordinates. PRICE(Dollars pertracker) 100 90 70 60 50 40 20 10 0 0 MO ATC AVC 50 60 70 80 10 20 30 40 QUANTITY (Thousands of trackers per day) 90 100 Profit or Loss In the short run, given a market price equal to $45 per tracker, the firm should produce a daily quantity of trackers. On the preceding graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to fill in the area that represents profit or loss of the firm given the market price of $45 and the quantity of production from your previous answer. Note: In the following question, enter a positive number regardless of whether the firm earns a profit or incurs a loss. The rectangular area represents a short-run thousand per day for the firm.On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.Q1: What is the function for TR, TC, MC and MR? Q2: What is the optimal price, quantity and profit?
