A-Z Suppose that a technological innovation decreases BYOB's costs so that it now faces the marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) given on the following graph. Specifically, the technological innovation causes a decrease in average fixed costs, thereby lowering the ATC curve and moving the MC curve. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing the loss. bongo 4.00 3.50 Monopoly Outcome 3.00 2.50 Profit A 2.00 Loss 1.50 АТС 1.00 0.50 MC MR 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 QUANTITY (Thousands of cans of beer) PRICE (Dollars per unit)
Suppose that the Travnikar Corporation manufactures widgets. Analysts that work for the company have found a function C(x) which reports the cost to produce x widgets and a function R(x) which reports the total revenue from selling x widgets. Currently, the company is producing 500 widgets, but the analysts find that R'(500)=85 and C'(500)=79. In order to maximize profits, should the analysts recommend increasing or decreasing production?
