4. Ikea Inc., a home remodeling business. The number of square feet they can remodel in a day is described by the Cobb-Douglas production function Q= F (L,K)= 4K5L0.5 where L is their number of workers and K is units of capital. The wage rate is $5 a day, and a unit of capital costs $20 a day. What is their minimum cost input combination for remodeling (Q=200) 200 square feet a day? What is the total minimum cost level? (15p)

Julius builds dining chairs that he sells for $200 a chair. His fixed costs are $1,000 (for workshop equipment). Each chair costs him $50 in materials to produce plus an extra $25 for each previous chair made that day, which reflects Julius's increasing exhaustion. (Thus, the first chair cost $50, the second costs $75, the third cost $100, etc.) Assume time requirements in producing a chair are not a factor. How many chairs should Julius produce each day?

Suppose your current job pays you $225,000 a year. However, you are considering starting your own company.  Based upon your research, you estimate your first-year total revenue to be $4,700,000.  There are however several costs of running the company during this first year, such as the cost of materials which will equal $1,300,000, employees who will receive in total $1,500,000, utilities which will cost $750,000, and rent that will be paid to the landlord that equals $1,000,000.  Based on this information,  solve for both your accounting profit and economic profit during this first year.  Also, based upon these profit values, state whether you are better off starting this company or staying in your current job.

Q44 Suppose a firm with the usual U-shaped cost curves is producing a level of output such that its short-run costs are as follows:ATC = $0.37 per unitAVC = $0.32 per unitAFC = $0.05 per unitMC = $0.43 per unitGiven these short-run costs, as the firm increases its output, ... a. The point of diminishing average product of the variable factor has not yet been reached. b. The average product of the variable factor must be increasing. c. The marginal product of the variable factor is at its minimum point. d. The marginal product of the variable factor must be increasing. e. The marginal product of the variable factor must be decreasing.

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?

Am I solving correctly? I don’t really remember how to derive the AC equation or graph these values that I have found.

What is the trend in cost?
