Management believes it can sell a new product for $8.50. The fixed costs of production are estimated to be $6,000, and the variable costs are $3.20 a unit. Complete the following table at the given levels of output and the relationships between quantity and fixed costs, quantity and variable costs, and quantity and total costs. Quantity Total Revenue Variable Costs Fixed Costs Total Costs Profits (Loss) 0 500 1,000 1,500 2,000 2,500 3,000 Determine the break-even level using the above table and use the following Equation to confirm the break-even level of output. PQB = FC + VQB PQB - VQB = FC QB (P-V) = FC QB = FC P-V What would happen to the total revenue schedule, the total cost schedule, and the break-even level of output if management determined that fixed costs would…
If You are the owner and only employee of a company that writes computer software that is used by gamblers to collect sports data. Last year you earned a total revenue of $90,000. Your costs for equipment, rent, and supplies were $60,000. To start this business you invested an amount of your own capital that could pay you a return of $40,000 a year. then your accounting profit is: Select one: a. 20,000 Ob. 30,000 O c. 40,000 O d. 10,000 O e. 60,000
Suppose that firm 1 is a restaurant, whose costs are ingredients, staff and space. Ingredients and staff are paid for weekly and staff can be hired or fired at will. The rental for the space is a one year lease, to move out of this space and into a smaller or larger one would take at least one year. Firm 2 is a door-to-door sales firm where the costs are inventory and staff. Both are paid every two weeks, and staff can be fired or fired at will (but must be paid for the current two weeks) while inventory can be bought or sold within a week. Is one month within the “short run” for firm 1? Is one month within the “short run” for firm 2? Explain your answer.

Suppose you own a small business. Last month, your total revenue was $8,800. In addition, you paid $3,500 in monthly rent for office space, $300 in monthly rent for equipment, $2,500 to your workers in wages for the month, and $1,900 for the supplies you used that month. If you correctly determine that your economic profit last month was $200, then it must be true that your implicit costs are $3,600 per month. your implicit costs are $600 per month. your implicit costs are $400 per month. your implicit costs are $1,800 per month.
Suppose that the perfectly competitive firm with the costs and revenues shown in the figure to the right is contemplating whether or not to produce 12 units of output. If the firm were to produce the 12th unit and, in doing so, increase its hourly total costs to $68 from $56, what would be its marginal cost? Would producing 12 units maximize the firm's profits? What would be the firm's total revenues per hour? What would be its hourly economic profits? If it were to produce the 12th unit, the firm's marginal cost would be MC = $ nothing per unit. Since the market price is P = $ nothing per unit and this price ▼ is larger than equals is less than the firm's marginal revenue, marginal cost ▼ is less than is larger than equals marginal revenue, and producing the 12th unit ▼ would would not satisfy the profit-maximizing rule. The firm's total revenue would equal $ nothing per hour and economic profits would equal $ nothing per hour. (Enter your responses as whole…
