The marginal cost curve of a firm is MC = 6y + y2 . Total variable costs to produce 10 units of output are
Assume a firm is a small business and act as a price-taker in the market, the market price of the firm's product is 20. The firm's cost function is: C(q) = 0.5q2+5q+100.
The cost function for Acme Laundry is: TC(q)=10+10q+q^2 so its marginal cost function is: MC(q)=10+2q where q is tons of laundry cleaned. Derive the firm's average cost and average variable cost curves. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p? How much does it produce if the competitive market price is p = 50?What would it look like in excel?
Should a firm shut down if its weekly revenue is $1,000, its variable cost is $500, and its fixed cost is$800, of which $600 is avoidable if it shuts down? Explain.
Suppose a firm's marginal cost is increasing as it produces more output. Then the firm is said to be experiencing which of the following? a.increasing returns to scale b.diminishing returns to scale c.losses d.profit
A perfectly competitive firm has the following total cost function: Total Output(Units) Total Cost(₨)0 201 302 423 554 695 846 1007 117 How much will the firm produce if the price of the product in the market is ₨ 14 per unit? How will itchange its output if price rises to ₨ 16 per unit?
In a fishery the long-run harvest function (harvest volume) isH(E) = aE - bE2, with a, b representing positive constants and E is fishing effort.Total cost is TC(E) = CE, with e being the unit cost of effort.Total revenue is TR(E) = pH(E), with p being the constant price of fish. Explain why higher levels of effort (E) beyond a certain point are associated withreductions in long-run total revenue (TR).
Suppose a firm's marginal cost is increasing as it produces more output. Then the firms is said to be experiencing which of the following? a.increasing returns to scale b.diminishing returns to scale c.losses d.profit
Which cost concept is used to determine the level of output at which a firm neither makes a profit nor incurs a loss? a) Sunk cost b) Break-even point c) Opportunity cost d) Variable cost
Showing your analytical work clearly in a step by step manner is a must. Otherwise points will be deducted. You can use Excel or any other graphing tool. A startup software company has indicated its cost, c(x), and revenue, f(x), as given below, such that x is the number of lines of programing code (units in 1000 lines). c(x) = 80000 - 2(x-200)2 f(x) = (x-10)3 + (x+10)2 Find the marginal cost analytically, and draw its graph Find the marginal revenue analytically, and draw its graph Solve for the x point where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue analytically. Comment why is this point significant analytically. Write the profit function and draw its graph Is the profit function concave up or concave down? Answer all questions neatly please
The marginal cost function of a firm is defined by MC=25+30Q-9Q², if it's fixed cost is 55. Find the total cost of the firm
A competitive firm uses two variable factors to produce its output, with a production function y = min{ x1, x2 }.The price of x1 is w1 = $8 and the price of x2 is w2 = $5. Due to a lack of warehouse space, the company cannot use more than 10 units of x1. The firm must pay a fixed cost of $80 if it produces any positive amount but doesn't have to pay this cost if it produces no output. What is the smallest integer price that would make a firm willing to produce a positive amount? please solve asap?
