Answer
Douglas Fur is a small manufacturer of fake-fur boots in Ottawa. The following table shows the company's total cost of production at various production quantities. Fill in the remaining cells of the table. Quantity Total Cost Marginal Cost Fixed Cost Variable Cost Average Variable Cost Average Total Cost (Pairs) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars per pair) (Dollars per pair) 0 60 — — 1 160 2 220 3 270 4 340 5 450 6 630 On the following graph, plot Douglas Fur's average-total-cost (ATC) curve using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot its average-variable-cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal-cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $160, so you should start your ATC curve by placing a green point at (1, 160). For MC, plot the points between the integers; for example, the MC of increasing…
Question 5
Your uncle is thinking about opening a wine bar. He estimates that it would cost $400000 per year to rent the location and buy the stock. In addition he would have to quit his $120000 per year job as an accountant. Suppose your uncle thought he could sell $600000
worth of wine in a year. Which statement is true?
His economic profit is $80000 which is less than he earns as an accountant so he should not open the wine bar
Total cost of running the wine bar is $400000 and he should open the store since his economic profits would be $180000.
Total cost of running the wine bar is $520000 and he should open the bar since his economic profits will be positive.
His accounting profits are $80000 which is still enough to make it worth opening the wine bar
