Focusing only on transportation costs, if a firm pays both the costs of transporting inputs to its plant and the finished product to its customers, the profit maximizing plant location A. minimizes the sum of the two transportation costs. B. can be anywhere between the location of the inputs and of the customers because the firm pays both sets of transportation costs. C. must always be closer to the location of the inputs because transporting inputs is always more expensive than transporting finished products. D. None of the above answers are correct.
Mike spends RM35,000 per annum on painting supplies and storage space. He recently received two job offers from a famous marketing firm – one offer was for RM 95,000 per year, and the other was for RM 105,000. However, he turned both jobs down to continue a painting career. If Mike sells 20 paintings per year at a price of RM 8,000 each: Question 1: What are his accounting profits? Question 2: What are his economic profits?

Respond to the question with a concise and accurate answer, along with a clear explanation and step-by-step solution, or risk receiving a downvote. 1 Assume a firm faces these costs: total cost of capital = $4,000; price paid for labor = $20 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $8 per raw-material unit. Originally the firm produced 2,000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 200 units of labor and 500 units of raw materials. Now the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 3,000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 500 units of raw materials. What happened to total cost? Multiple Choice TC increased by $2,000 TC decreased by $2,000 TC decreased by $4,000 TC remained unchanged 2 Assume a firm faces these costs: total cost of capital = $4,000; price paid for labor = $20 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $8 per raw-material unit.

Two power plants provide power to all of Manila: Mapayapa plant and Hagonoy plant. Both power plants burn coal to produce electricity, and consequently produce smog as a by-product. The M power plant could reduce its smog, but at a total cost: CM(XM) = 5X2M where XM indicates the total number of units of smog abated by M. The H plant is slightly less efficient, and its total cost for cutting down on smog by XH is: CH(XH) = 7X2H + 10XH Suppose that instead of taxation, the Manila government tries to regulate quantities. However, the city of Manila cannot write a law for each firm, so it simply declares that all power plants must cut down on smog by xC1 units each year. Explain why this is not efficient.
