A pastries company has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is $700 for the first computer, $250 for the second, $300 for the third, $350 for the fourth, $400 for the fifth, $450 for the sixth, and $500 for the seventh. First. Create a table that shows the company's output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost,variable cost, and average variable cost. Second. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? Third. If the company sells the computers for $500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVC curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss. Fourth. If the firm sells the computers for $300, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVC curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss.
a. A firm operating in a perfectly competitive market is earning K20 million economic profits. What is the firms accounting profits if the opportunity cost is K30 millionb. What will be the firm’s economic profits in the long run? c. Company ‘A’ has been recording accounting profits averaging K50 million by investing in project C. It could earn K60 million and K70 million in projects D and E, respectively. What is the company’s current economic profit? d. Advise management what to do in the long run e. Project ‘B’ has a net present value of zero after applying a discount rate of 10%, which is the risk adjusted required rate of return that takes into account the riskiness of the project. What return is earned on this project f. After a risk assessment, it is discovered that project ‘B’ has become more risky and the risk adjusted required return to use must be 12%. Will the net present value of project ‘B’ still remain zero?
