Below are two pairs of almond production cost curves showing technological change in irrigation from sprinkler to drip (C to D and E to F). Assume a market price of $60/unit. For each set of curves, label the curves and fill in the tables that indicates the profit-maximizing level of output (Q), the marginal cost (MC), the average total cost (ATC), the total revenue (TR), the total cost (TC), the total profit (x), and, the average profit (Ar) for each pair of costs curves. Make sure to draw the appropriate lines in the graphs and show your calculations (show your work) below the table. Cost Curves C & D 105 100 99 90 83 80 75 70 65 60 C MC1 MC2 ATC1

Objective: Find optimal L, Q, and profits for every change in market conditions. •Case 1: Economists calculated that Amazon’s productivity function in 2000 was: Q=40K^0.55 L^0.45 . Also, average price per unit (mostly books) = $22, wage per unit = $8, and at that time, Amazon had one distribution center (K) at $10,000 (including renting rate, inventory costs, etc.) Case 2: In 2005, Amazon expanded its distribution centers to 5. Case 3: In 2012, Amazon bought robot maker Kiva System, changing Amazon’s productivity function to: Q=80K^0.55 L^0.45 , keeping the rest of the information as in Case 2. Case 4: In 2019, Amazon announced hourly wage of $15 per unit. Compare optimal number of workers, Q, and profits under these corporate and market changes (Table). Case1: L1 = Q1 = Profits1 = Case2: L2 = Q2 = Profits2 = Case3: L3 = Q3 = Profits3 = Case4: L4 = Q4 = Profits4 =
The data below shows tabulation on the production of a hypothetical product.Output (Q) Total cost (TC)Units Kshs.0 - 251 - 322 - 383 - 424 - 485 - 586 - 677 - 788 - 98i. Using the above data, determine:· Total fixed cost · Average variable cost schedule · Marginal cost schedule Suppose this product is produced on a perfect market and the price of the commodity = 10, determine the output Q that will maximize the profits. What is the maximum profits achieved by the firm?
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
depict a ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits(π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determinewhether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
At a market price of $5 your artisanal pencil business maximizes profits by producing 484 pencils per day. When you produce this quantity of pencils per day, your average cost per unit is $4. What is your total revenue per day? $ What is your total cost per day? $ What is your daily profit? $
If the fixed cost of producing output Y is P150,000, variable cost is P300 per unit and the price of Y is P600 per unit, suppose the price of Y decreases by 25%, ceteris paribus, should the farmer continue producing 500 units of output? Explain why or why not.
Three college students are considering operating a tutoring business in economics. This business would require that they give up their current jobs at the studentrecreation center, which pays $6,000 per year. A fully equipped facility can be leased at a cost of $8,000 per year. Additonal costs are $1,000 a year for insuranceand $0.50 per person per hour for materials and supplies. Their services would be priced at $10 per hour per person.A) What are fixed cost?B) What are variable costs?C) What is the marginal cost?D) How many students would it take to break even?
Please select all that are true regarding Minimum Efficient Scale (MES): if the quantity demanded is equal to Qmes, then the lowest cost solution is for one firm to supply the market MES is the quantity produced where average costs for a firm are at a minimum Long run average costs include fixed cost steps as quantities (scale) increase Quantities (x-axis) less than MES exhibit decreasing returns to scale due to diminishing marginal returns Short run average cost curves are for a given level of fixed cost, individually MES is the quantity demanded where total costs for a firm are at a minimum Quantities (x-axis) greater than MES exhibit decreasing returns to scale due to diminishing marginal returns Average costs do not include fixed cost since they don't change
The market for high-quality matsutake mushrooms is dependent on the weather. If the weather is good, one kilogram matsutake mushroom can be sold for $30. In bad weather it sells for only $20 per kilogram. Matsutake mushrooms produced one week will not be kept until the next week, A small matsutake mushrooms producer has a cost function given by C = 0.5q^2 + 5q + 100 where q is weekly matsutake mushrooms production. Production decisions must be made before the weather (and the price of matsutake mushrooms) is known, but it is known that good weather and bad weather each occur with a probability of O.5. How much matsutake mushrooms should this firm produce if it wishes to maximize the expected value of its profits?
A company is planning to manufactureand market a new two-slice electric toaster. After conducting extensive market surveys, the research department provides the following estimates: a weekly demand of 200 toasters at a price of $16 per toaster and a weekly demandof 300 toasters at a price of $14 per toaster. The financial department estimates that weekly fixed costs will be $1,400and variable costs (cost per unit) will be $4. a)Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b)Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue functionin terms of ?. c)Determine the Marginal Revenu eat 2 different production levelsfor example 350 and 600 units. Interpret these results.(HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d)Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financialdepartment’s estimates to express the cost…
Consider the data in the table which applies to the provision of psychological testing services.

If a retail clothing shop has to pay monthly rental of A$10,000 and has variable costs of A$20,000 for 200 units of sales per month, what minimum price must it sell its goods in the market in the short-run and the long-run for the shop to continue operating?
