- A firm’s long-run total cost curve is given by: C(q) = 40q − 10q2 + q3 . Over what range of output does this technology exhibit decreasing returns to scale? Group of answer choices q>8 q<5 None of the above are correct. q>10 q>5 Note: don't use chat botarrow_forwarda) when the plant is small b) when the plant is medium-size Oc) d) e) at an output level less than q when the plant is large at an output level more than qarrow_forwardA farm produces rice, which is sold in 50 kilogram bags. Let Q denote the number of bagsproduced per week during harvest time. Costs C are denoted in units of dollars. The totalweekly cost function for producing the product is C = 4Q + 100. The total weekly income function for this product is I = 50Q – 2Q2. What is the profit function P as a function of Q and sketch it using P values 0, 5, 10,15, 20 and 25.arrow_forward
- The fixed cost per unit is equal to: Multiple choice question. average variable cost. average total cost. average fixed cost. marginal cost.arrow_forwardThe ATC of a Firm is 25 when its output level is 21. The marginal cost producing the next unit is 33. Please find the ATC of the firm after it produces the next unit.arrow_forwardWould you expect two farms of widely different size to have the same fixed costs on their enterprise budgets for the same enterprise? Might economies or diseconomies of size explain any differences?arrow_forward
- When a firm produces one unit, the variable cost is $8. When the firm produces two units, the variable cost is $16. What is the marginal cost of producing the second unit? $8 $4 $24 $2arrow_forwardSuppose a firm’s short-run cost curves were found to be: Total Cost = SRTC = 1 + 2Q + Q2 Marginal Cost = SRMC = 2 + 2Q, Where Q is output. Assume the firm behaves as a price taker and sells its output at P = K8 per unit. (a) If the firm maximizes profits, how much will it produce? (b) What are the marginal, average and total cost at that point? (c) What is the firms’ profit?arrow_forward
