3. Suppose that ABC company plans to build a subway train to provide better alternatives for
Filipino commuters to avoid heavy traffic and delay during rush hour. Apparently, the subway can
last up to 50 years only that its cost $ 5.5 million to build it. Assuming that it cost nothing for its
maintenance. Consider the table below that shows potential demand of the subway train of the
ABC company. For now, disregard the potential variety of the passenger's demographic.

- Del's and Rodney's are two plumbing services in a gentrifying area of South East London. Within the area they service, the two firms operate as a duopoly and together serve one hundred percent of the available local market. One of their key lines of business is visiting customer's homes to install a new shower rail. A student project has been investigating the local plumbing business and has estimated the following information for Del's and Rodney's: Total demand for new shower rails per week is given by P = 200 - 4Q Where Q is total market demand and can be divided between Del's (qd) and Rodney's (qr) such that Q = qd + qr Assuming that the marginal cost of serving an extra customer is £40 for each, and that marginal revenue for Del is given by MRd 2008qd - 4qr And marginal revenue for Rodney is given by MRr Then 2008qr - 4qd 8 CONTINUEDarrow_forwardQ.

- JYour business has the capacity to produce up to 5 units/week. The table & graph below show average cost (AC) for different weekly production levels. Your objective is to maximize profit each week. Average Cost 22 20 AC 18 1 20 14 2 15 12 3 12 10 1 2 4 4 13 Quantity 15 Your product sells in the market for $21/unit, and you can sell as many units at that price as you can bring to market. You know from your economics training that deciding how much to produce should rely on marginal concepts like marginal cost (MC). So, based on the AC table above, create a table that shows the MC of each unit. (Assume that there are no fixed costs, so total costs are zero if Q=0.) Based on MC for each unit, determine the profit-maximizing quantity to produce and sell. BRIEFLY explain your answer. (Your answer needs to be based on MC and being able to sell each unit for $21.)
