The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
The Jones are small farmers in the wheat industry – they are price takers. Their cost function is: TC = 600,000 + 3,000Q + Q2 and MC = 3,000 + 2Q. The market price is $5,000 per ton. Assuming the Jones are maximizing profits (or minimizing loses), how much profit are they making? You must show your work.
Tex has a small plant that produces storm windows. Its total revenue function is ?? = 5.4?, and the total cost function is ?? = 30 + 3? + 0.03?2 What is the profit maximizing output for Tex? Show your work. What is his selling price? How much profit is he making? Now assume that Tex has fixed costs of only 5. With this different information, answer parts (a) and (b). How have fixed-cost changes influenced Tex's production decisions? Now assume that Tex has fixed costs of 55. How would your answer change to part (c)?
