- A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of 250. The marginal cost of producing computers is 700 for the first computer, 250 for the second, 300 for the third, 350 for the fourth, 430 for the fifth, 450 for the sixth, and 500 for the seventh. Create a table that shows the companys output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? If the company sells the computers for 500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss. If the firm sells the computers for 300, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss.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?If Soltani factory produces 1000 pieces of products, its total cost is equal to 50,000 monetary units, and if it produces 2,000 pieces of the same product, its total cost is equal to 80,000 monetary units. If each product is sold at a price of 40 monetary units, it is desirable: a. By drawing a diagram, specify the breaking point for it. B. If we want to make a profit equal to 20,000 units by selling 2500 pieces of product, what should be the variable cost? Use equations below: F Profit(P) = pQ - (F + vQ) TR=pQ TC=F+vQ Q=F/(p-v)

A firm has three different production facilities, all of which produce the same product. Whilereviewing the firm’s cost data, Ron, a manager, discovered that one of the plants has a higher averagecost than the other plans and suggests closing this plant. Another manager, Jack, notes that the high-cost plant has high fixed costs but that the marginal cost in this plant is lower than in the other plants.He says that the high-cost plant should not be shut down but should expand its operations. Who isright? 2. Should a firm shut down if its weekly revenue is $1,000, its variable cost is $500, and its fixed cost is$800, of which $600 is avoidable if it shuts down? Explain.A computer company produces affordable, easyto-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of$250. The marginal cost of producing computers is $700for the first computer, $250 for the second, $300 for thethird, $350 for the fourth, $400 for the fifth, $450 for thesixth, and $500 for the seventh.a. Create a table that shows the company’s output,total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variablecost, and average variable cost.b. At what price is the zero-profit point?

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.)

It has average revenue of $50, average total cost of $40 and fixed cost of $10,000. a) What is its profit? b) What is its marginal cost? c) What is its average variable cost? Is the efficient scale of the firm more than, less than or exactly 1,000 units?
