The cost formula for a company can be modeled by C=1092+40x+0.1x2C=1092+40x+0.1x2 where xx represents the number of items made. A formula for the company's income is modeled with R=108x−0.9x2R=108x-0.9x2, where xx is the number of items sold. A company will break even when its costs equal its income. How many items must a company make and then sell to break even? Answer: (If there are multiple answers, separate the answers with a comma.)
The production function is f (L, M) = 5L1/2M1/2, where L is the number of units of labor and M is the number of machines. If the amounts of both factors can be varied and if the cost of labor is $9 per unit and the cost of using machines is $64 per machine, then the total cost of producing 12 units of output is a. $438. b. $108. c. $576. d. $115.20. e. $57.60.
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.
The chief economist for Argus Corporation, a large appliance manufacturer, estimated the firm’s short-run cost function for vacuum cleaners using an average variable cost function of the form AVC = a + bQ + cQ2 where AVC = dollars per vacuum cleaner and Q = number of vacuum cleaners produced each month. Total fixed cost each month is $180,000. The following results were obtained: Dependent Variable AVC R-SQUARE F-RATIO P-VALUE ON F OBSERVATIONS 19 0.7360 39.428 0.0001 PARAMETER ESTIMATE STANDARD ERROR T-RATIO P-VALUE VARIABLE INTERCEPT 191.93 54.65 3.512 0.0029 Q -0.0305 0.00789 23.866 0.0014 Q2 0.0000024 0.00000098 2.449 0.0262 Quetsion: At what level of output will average variable cost be at a minimum?
