Why Marginal Cost (MC) is 1?? I did my calcutation and is 2. I replace on fucntion Q = L + (5)2 = L + 25, so L = Q - 25 and put on TC = 2(Q - 25) + 20(5) So TC = 2Q - 50 + 100 = 2Q + 50, then MC = dTC / dQ = 2 You may be replaced TC = wL + rK, but this function no contains Q variable Please confirm that. Thanks
This is a repeated question since you guys only answerone question at a time! Let's assume that a firm's total weekly costs are as follows: 1. Salaries = $2,600. 2. Supplies = $400. 3. Rent = $800.In addition, the owners have invested their own money into the business. This could have earned them interest of $150 per week if they had chosen to put it into a bank instead of investing it into their business. If the firm has weekly revenue of $4,000, what are the firm's accounting profit and economic profit? Show your work please.

9 The average cost of producing 10 units is Rs 30, while the average cost of producing 20 units is Rs 20. Find the average cost of producing 30 units. {Hint : Find Fixed cost. TC of 10 units = Rs 300, TC of 20 units = Rs 400, VC = Rs 10/ unit Fixed cost = TC = FC + VC (10* 10) = 300 = FC + 100 = FC = 200. Thus, AC of producing 30 units will be Rs 16.67}
