The per-unit cist of an item is its average total cost=(=total cost/quantity). Suppose that a new cell phone application costs $100,000 to develop and only $0.70 per unit to deliver to each cell phone customer. What will be the per-unit coat of the application if it sells 100 units? What will be the per-unit coat of the application if it sells 1,000 units? What will be the per-unit cost of the application if it sells 1 million units?

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.)

Answer the following questions on the basis of this information for a single fifirm: total cost of capital = $1000; price paid for labor = $12 per labor unit; price paid for raw materials = $4 per raw-material unit. a. Suppose the firm can produce 5000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 5000 units of output?b. Now assume the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 6000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average cost of producing the 6000 units of output?c. Refer to your answers to 8a and 8b and explain how process innovation can improve economic efficiency.

In producing the 5000 staplers, it incurred variable costs of $25,000 and a total cost of $45,000. Refer to Scenario 13-5. What were the firm’s fixed costs? A. $30,000 B. $40,000 C. $50,000 D. $20,000 53) What is the firm’s efficient scale? A. the quantity of output that minimizes average total cost B. the quantity of output that minimizes average variable cost C. the quantity of output that minimizes average fixed cost D. the quantity of output that minimizes marginal cost
9 The average cost of producing 10 units is Rs 30, while the average cost of producing 20 units is Rs 20. Find the average cost of producing 30 units. {Hint : Find Fixed cost. TC of 10 units = Rs 300, TC of 20 units = Rs 400, VC = Rs 10/ unit Fixed cost = TC = FC + VC (10* 10) = 300 = FC + 100 = FC = 200. Thus, AC of producing 30 units will be Rs 16.67}
