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

A large architectural firm has just landed a contract to build a hospital. Seven architects currently work 40 hours per week in this​ firm, and all are available to work​ full-time on this project. The managers estimate that they need 400 ​architect-hours per week for 20 weeks to complete this project. Architects earn ​$500 per 40​-hour week. Suppose that there is a fixed cost of hiring an architect of ​$2,000. ​(This cost reflects the advertising​ costs, interviewing​ costs, and so​ forth.) Part 2 The​ firm's current architects are willing to work overtime to complete this project if they receive 1.5 times their usual wage rate for any hours in excess of 40 hours per week.   In this​ situation, the total overtime wages the managers would pay for the project will be ​$enter your response here.

Al's production function for deer is f(x1,x2) = (2x1 + x2)^1/2, where x1 is the amount of plastic and x2 is the amount of wood used. If the cost of plastic is $4 per unit and the cost of wood is $3 per unit, then the cost of producing 5 deer is a) $55 b) $10 c) $50 d) $75

ABC company creates specialty shipping bags that they sell to pharmaceutical companies across the globe. With their current equipment, ABC can produce 12,000 shipping bags for every 10 bundles of materials purchased. Every month (20 working days), ABC purchases 100 bundles of materials. Each bundle requires one (1) labor minute to process, and every labor hour costs an average of $14.00. Each week (5 working days), ABC pays $5,000 inoverhead costs, and equipment costs $600 a day to operate. (a). How many shipping bags does ABC produce in a standard month (20 working days)? Each workday (8 hours)?  (b). What is the single-factor productivity for labor, per workday (8 hours)? Whatis the multi-factor productivity, for every dollar spent per shipping bag?

Ike’s Bikes is a major manufacturer of bicycles. Currently, the company produces bikes using only one factory. However, it is considering expanding production to two or even three factories. The following table shows the company’s short-run average total cost (SRATC) each month for various levels of production if it uses one, two, or three factories. (Note: Q equals the total quantity of bikes produced by all factories.) Number of Factories Average Total Cost (Dollars per bike) Q = 100 Q = 200 Q = 300 Q = 400 Q = 500 Q = 600 1 360 200 160 240 400 720 2 540 300 160 160 300 540 3 720 400 240 160 200 360   Suppose Ike’s Bikes is currently producing 600 bikes per month in its only factory. Its short-run average total cost is   per bike.   Suppose Ike’s Bikes is expecting to produce 600 bikes per month for several years. In this case, in the long run, it would choose to produce bikes usingone factory   .   On the following graph, plot…

***PLEASE NOTE - An answer is NOT needed for parts A, B and C; these are included to assist with answering part D. Only an answer for part D is required, but it is derived from the previous answers***   Given: A farmer raises peaches using land (K) and labor (L), and has an output of ?(?,?)= ?0.5?0.5 bushels of apples.   a. Find several input combinations that give the farmer 6 bushels of apples. Sketch the associated isoquant on a graph, with L on the x-axis and K on the y-axis.   b. In the short run, the farmer only has 4 units of land. What is his short-run production function? Graph it for values of L from 0 to 16, with L on the x-axis and output on the y-axis. What is the name of the slope of this curve?   c. Assuming the farmer still only has 4 units of land, how much extra output does he get from adding 1 extra unit of labor if he is already using only 1 unit of labor? How much extra output does he get from adding 1 extra unit of labor if he is already using 4 units of labor?…
