A firm has the following benfits and costs equations: B(Q) = 450Q - 26Q² and MC(Q) = 136Q

The cost of producing 5-gallon water bottles is given by  C(q) = 0.005q2 + 2q + 1000. If 2000 5-gallon water bottles are produced, fint the average cost

A company is planning to manufacture snowboards.  The fixed costs are $125 per day and the total costs are $5,786 per daily output of 19 boards.  What is the average costs per board tend to as production increases?

A study of 86 savings and loan associations in six northwestern states yielded the following cost function. C� = 3.69 - 0.007999Q� + 0.000005359Q2�2 + 25.0X1�1     (3.69)   (3.08)   (3.42)   (3.50)   where C� = average operating expense ratio, expressed as a percentage and defined as total operating expense ($ million) divided by total assets ($ million) times 100 percent. Q� = output; measured by total assets ($ million) X1�1 = ratio of the number of branches to total assets ($ million) Note: The number in parentheses below each coefficient is its respective t-statistic. Holding constant the effects of bank branching (X1�1), what is the level of total assets that minimizes the average operating expense ratio? $746.31 million   $1,562.70 million   $1,492.63 million   $461.31 million     What is the average operating expense ratio for a savings and loan association with the level of total assets determined in the previous part and 1 branch?…
