- How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?How would an improvement in technology, like the high-efficiency gas turbines or Pirelli tire plant, affect me lung-nm average cost curve of a firm? Can you draw the old curve and the new one on the same axes? How might such an improvement affect other firms in the industry?Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run?
- Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?S Costs 35 3:0 25 20 15 10 0 2 3 Quantity (Vats of juice) E Marginal Cost O Search Average Variable Cost Average Total Cost Which of the following statements are true according to the previous graph? Check all that apply. The marginal-cost curve is above the average-total-cost curve when output is greater than four and average total cost is rising. The marginal-cost curve is below the average-total-cost curve when output is greater than four and average total cost is rising. The marginal-cost curve lies below the average-variable-cost curve.

Assume hat when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing uantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will nake a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price. Price Quantity (Dollars per shirt) (Shirts) Profit or Loss? Produce or Shut Down?

In…Jeremy worked at a bank with a monthly salary of $1,500. He decided to quit his job and open a bookstore inhis neighborhood. He now pays $500 in rent, $80 in utilities and $120 in wages every month. He also paysthe publisher $5 per book sold. This month Jeremy sold 100 books at the price of $30 per book.a. What was the total revenue this month? Calculate this month’s explicit fixed cost, the variable costand the total cost.b. How much accounting profit did Jeremy make?c. How much economic profit did Jeremy make?d. If Jeremy had not quit his job at the bank, he could have been promoted and got a pay raise of 30percent. How would this affect his accounting profit and his economic profit?
- What is the difference between accounting profit and economic prof? A Economic profit subtracts both explicit and implicit costs from total revenue, while acounting profit only subtracts explicit costs. OR Accounting proft only subtracts implicit costs from totsi revenue, while economic profit only subtracts explicit costs. OC Economic proft orly subtracts implicit costs from total revenue, while accounting profit only subtracts explicit costs. OD. Accounting proft suberacts both explicit and implicit costs from total revenue, while economic proft only subtracts explicit costs.
