JYour business has the capacity to produce up to 5 units/week. The table & graph below show average cost (AC) for different weekly production levels. Your objective is to maximize profit each week. Average Cost 22 20 AC 18 1 20 14 2 15 12 3 12 10 1 2 4 4 13 Quantity 15 Your product sells in the market for $21/unit, and you can sell as many units at that price as you can bring to market. You know from your economics training that deciding how much to produce should rely on marginal concepts like marginal cost (MC). So, based on the AC table above, create a table that shows the MC of each unit. (Assume that there are no fixed costs, so total costs are zero if Q=0.) Based on MC for each unit, determine the profit-maximizing quantity to produce and sell. BRIEFLY explain your answer. (Your answer needs to be based on MC and being able to sell each unit for $21.) AC ($/unit)
Vintage Camera T Temple MIS G is You have the following data for product X: sales revenue $14,000, allocated fixed costs $12,000, variable costs $20,000. You cannot increase the price of product X or improve the production process to increase profitability. What should you do about product X? O do nothing - unprofitable products are just one of the costs of doing business O keep the product both in the short term and in the long term O keep the product in the short term and drop it in the long term O drop the product both in the short term and in the long term O drop the product in the short term and keep it in the long term

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?

a donut shop charges customers the same price. the profit maximising output is 100 at a price of 5$ per donut. marginal cost is 2$. The donut shop owner now discovers that it has two very different types of customer children and adults . It can maximise its profits by selling 30 donuts to children for a price of 4$ per donut and 70 donuts per evening to everyone else for a price of 6$ per donut. Draw a diagram showing the profit-maximising price and output a) when all customers are charged the same price and b) when children are charged a different price c)How much profit does the donut shop owner make when children are charged a different price? explain how to draw the diagrams also in detail please!
