A competitive firm has a single factory with the cost function C(q) = 3q2 + 62 and produces 25 units in order to maximise profits. Although the price of output does not change, the firm decides to build a second factory with the cost function C(q) = 7q2 + 44. To maximise its profits, how many units should it produce in the second factory?
To maximise profits, a competitive firm has a cost function, C(q) = 4q2 + 95 and produces 33 units in order to maximise profits. Although the price of output does not change, the firm decides to build a second factory with the cost function C(q) = 7q2 + 45. To maximise its profits, how many units should it produce in the second factory?
For the cost function C(Q) = 500+12Q+4Q2+Q3, what is the marginal cost of producing the eighth unit of output?
An accountant for a car rental company was recently asked to report the firm's costs of producing various levels of output. The accountant knows that the most recent estimate available of the firm's cost function is C(Q) = 100 + 10Q + Q^2, where costs are measured in thousands of dollars and output is measured in thousands of hours rented. a. What is the average fixed cost of producing 2 units of output? b. What is the average variable cost of producing 2 units of output? c. What is the average total cost of producing 2 units of output? d. What is the marginal cost of producing 2 units of output? e. What is the relation between the answers to (a), (b), and (c) above? Is this a general property of average cost curves?
Suppose the cost function is C(Q) = 50 + Q − 10Q2 + 2Q3. What is the marginal cost of producing 10 units?
For the cost function C(Q) = 100 + 4Q + 19Q2 + 2Q3, what is the marginal cost of producing the fourth unit of output?
A firm is producing 20 units with an average total cost of $25 and marginal cost of $15. If it were to increase production to 21 units, which of the following is certain to occur?
Suppose the cost function for a firm is given by C(Q) = 100 + Q2. If the firm sells output in a perfectly competitive market and other firms in the industry sell output at a price of $10, what level of output should the firm produce to maximize profits or minimize losses? What will be the level of profits or losses if the firm makes the optimal decision?
