1) The joint cost (in thousands of euros) for two products X and Y can be given by the following formula: C(x, y) = 40 + y^2 + 3x + 2xy + (x^2) y + y^3 where x represents the quantity of product X that is produced and y represents the quantity of product Y produced. • If 12 units of product X and 20 units of product Y are produced, what are the marginal costs? • What product line should be expanded in the current level of production? 2) A firm can produce up to 500 units each week. If its average cost function is C(x) = 500/x + 1500 and its total revenue function is given by: R(x) = 1600x − x^2 • What production maximizes profit? What is the maximum profit for that production level? • What production makes the profit equal to zero? (that point is called the break-even point)
2. A student foregoes her annual summer job (paying in total $3,200) in order to operate a sandwich shop. Rent and other fixed costs are $1,500 for the entire season. Variable cost per sandwich is $0.50. a) What is the opportunity cost for the student? Explain. b) Derive the expressions for the total accounting cost and total economic cost. c) Suppose that the sandwich shop generates a positive total accounting profit of $2,000. Accounting for total economic costs, should the student operate the shop? Explain.
Does additive manufacturing rely on economies of scale to deliver low costs? What are two ways in which additive manufacturing lowers costs? Besides what’s written in the book, might there be another reason to expect 3-D blueprints to be inexpensive? (Hint: Think in terms of supply and demand.)

Calculating Profits: An entrepreneur takes a one year leave of absence from her job, which pays $70,000 per year, to open a record store. It costs $10,000 per year to rent the storefront for the record store, and average variable cost per record is $5. If she is paid $15 per record, what are her economic profits if she sells 10,000 records in a year?
