A price-taking firm makes air conditioners. The market price of one of its new air conditioners is $130. The firm's total cost information is given in the table below: Instructions: Calculate marginal cost, and enter your responses as whole numbers. Air conditioners per day Total cost Marginal cost ($ per day) ($ per day) 1 100 100 2 150 3 220 4 310 5 405 6 510 7 650 8 800 How many air conditioners should the firm produce per day if its goal is to maximize its profit? air conditioners per day.

Given the following table: OUTPUT TOTAL COST 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 SAENASS 59 67 74 80 87 95 Part 1: The TVC of producing 4 units of output is Number Part 2: The AFC of producing 6 units of output is: Number Part 3: The marginal cost of producing the fifth unit of output is: Number Part 4: The ATC of producing 5 units of output is: Number

Using the figure above, what is the total cost for the firm?

The Trouser Company has fixed costs of 2,000 per week. In addition, we have some information about its marginal costs (MC) and total variable costs (TVC) Output 0 30 60 90 100 120 150 MC 140 59 32 59 80 140 275 TVC 0 2850 4080 5310 6000 8160 14,250 For each of the output levels in the table, calculate the Trouser Company’ average variable costs (AVC) and average (total) cost (AC)

Consider the following chart. How much is the marginal cost when total output increases from 390 pounds to 450 pounds? Total Output Total Cost Marginal Cost (Pounds) (TC = FC + VC) 0 150 150 300 240 450 320 600 390 750 450 900 420 1050 $1.50 $2.25 $2.00 $2.50

The figure shows the cost structure for a firm. When the output level is 100 units the fixed cost is $ 1.00 Cost (dollars per unit) $20 12 10 50 100 MC TC AVC Quantity (units of output)

Calculate average cost when total cost Is 100 and total quantity is 8

Use the table below to answer the following question. Units Total Fixed Cost Total Variable of Output (dollars) Cost (dollars) 1 150 25 2 150 48 3 150 70 150 100 What is the marginal cost (MC) of producing the fourth unit of output?

Consider an airline's decision about whether to cancel a particular flight that hasn't sold out. The following table provides data on the total cost of operating a 100-seat plane for various numbers of passengers. Total Cost Number of Passengers (Dollars per flight) 40,000 10 60,000 20 65,000 30 68,000 40 70,000 50 71,000 60 72,500 70 73,500 80 74,000 90 74,300 100 74,500 Given the information presented in the previous table, the fixed cost to operate this flight is s At each ticket price, a different number of consumers will be willing to purchase tickets for this flight. Assume that the price of a flight is fixed for the duration of ticket sales. Use the previous table as well as the following demand schedule to complete the questions that follow. Price Quantity Demanded (Dollars per ticket) (Tickets per flight) 1,000 700 30 400 90 200 100

In 1796, Gottfried Christoph Härtel, a German music publisher, calculated the cost of printing music using an engraved plate technology and used these estimated cost functions to make production decisions.  Härtel figured that the fixed cost of printing a musical page—the cost of engraving the plates—was 900 pfennings.  The marginal cost of each additional copy of the page is 5 pfennings (Scherer 2001).     a. Graph the total cost, average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost functions. b. Is there a cost advantage to having only one music publisher print a given composition?   Why? c. Härtel used his data to do the following type of analysis.  Suppose he expects to sell exactly 300 copies of a composition at 15 pfennings per page of the composition.  What is the greatest amount the publisher is willing to pay the composer per page of the composition?
