depict a ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits(π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determinewhether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $30, the second by $ 27, the third by $24, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $3. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $9.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and…
Suppose you own an acre of land. You could grow crops on that land. The cost of seeds is $100. The crops you grow from those seeds will sell for $350. You could also rent the land to another farmer. The rent you could eam is $300. Calculate your economic profit. (Do not include a $ sign in your answer.) Answer: Suppose the total cost function for a firm is given by: TC= 100 + 2q +0.5q2. Find the marginal cost function and then use that to determine the marginal cost of the 10th unit. (Do not include a $ sign in your response.) # Answer:
(a) The marginal cost of two firms are given by the following Firm 1: C'(Q) = 300eº.1Q+2 TC= 3000 when Q = 0 Firm 2: C'(Q) = 41 +30Q -5Q² TC =400 when Q = 0 (i) What is the fixed cost for each firm
I need help with this problem for business calculus. The revenue given is R(x)=275(0.974)^2x+1 I have to find the marginal revenue when 150 computers are sold and interpret the answer in a sentence. I know that I have to find the Marginal revenue function and I think it's -14.48918*0.974^2x+1 but I'm not 100% sure. I also need some clarification if I need to plug 150 into x to get the marginal revenue for 150 computers sold. Please help, thank you!
The cost function of a firm is c(y) = 3y^2 + 6y + 5.1. Find the Average variable and Marginal Cost curves of the firm.2. What is the quantity level where the average variable cost is minimized?
4 total cost is c(4, r, q) 5 total 75. If Firm A has constant marginal cost, and input prices double to 2r and 2w, how much will it cost to produce q 6 units of output (what is c(6, 2r, 2w))? (HINT: First calculate the marginal cost for c(q, r, w), then calculate c(6, r, w), and then calculate c(6, 2r, 2w)) = Firm A has cost function c(q, r, w). At output q = cost is c(5,r, q) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 90 ○ c(6, 2r, 2w) = 150 c(6, 2r, 2w) O c(6, 2r, 2w) = 180 - = - 75 160 = 60, and at output q -

The marginal cost when Q = 10.$
22-23. Use this information to answer questions 22 and 23. A typical firm has a total cost function given by: TC = A.Q² + B.Q+ (C+D), where A, B, C & D are all positive constants and the term D represents the firm's fixed costs. 22. Suppose that the term C in the total cost function changes to a new figure that is twice as large. Thinking about the cost curves drawn on a graph, we would expect the following to happen (choose the best answer): A) B) H) I) J) ABOADAGAS 23. Use the information about the total cost function supplied above.
