Suppose that you produce an award winning yogurt that you sell at a farmer's market. It is produced mainly from grass fed cows and you don't use antibiotics, growth hormones or other "artificial" inputs. A typical customer is willing to pay (in dollars) 10 for a 32oz bottle and 10 for a second bottle of the same size. Suppose that your unit cost is 2 per bottle. You currently charge 3 per bottle. What is the total surplus? Note: do not enter a dollar sign, $, in your answer. Just enter the number.

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)

D)A manufacturer knows that: His TRis given by Revenue = 23Q-Q %3D His total cost of production is; Cost = 36+ 2Q +0.1Q Where Qis the weekly production in thousands I. Economists define MR as the rate of change of Total revenue. Derive an expression for Marginal Revenue (MR) II. How do you think Economists' would define 'Marginal Cost'? Derive an expression for marginal Cost (MC) III. What output will make marginal Revenue equal Marginal cost? IV. What can you deduce? V. Find the total profit and the value of Q that maximizes profit E The costs of production of the firm are composed of K125 in Fixed cost, variable costs of K36 per unit produced and depreciation charges are given by the expression KO.05Q'. Find thelevel of output which would minimize average cost of production per unit
