Label each curve with its appropriate name. ● Carefully draw a new set of cost curves (and label them) such that the marginal cost (MC) has increased by $10 and the average total cost (ATC) has increased by $10. Use at least four points on each curve to determine the new cost curves. Show the maximum total profit for the new set of cost curves when the market price is $60/unit. You only need to show the profit box but you must draw all the vertical and horizontal lines used in the five steps for determining the maximum profit. The maximum profit that was determined in the question above is (circle your answer below): Positive Negative Zero You can't tell from the information provided

If a firm is currently producing zero output, total costs equals A. average variable costs. B. marginal costs. C. zero. D. total variable costs. E. total fixed costs. 3. Here are three things that you could do if you do not attend your next-door neighbor's barbecue: watch television with some friends (you value this at $8), read a good novel (you value this at $4), or go in to work (you could earn $6 during the barbecue). The opportunity cost of going to your neighbor's barbecue is A. $6, because this is the only alternative of the three where you actually receive a monetary payment. B.…
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.
10. Problems and Applications Q10 An industry currently has 100 firms, each of which has fixed costs of $16 and average variable costs as follows: Complete the following table by deriving the total cost, marginal cost, and average total cost for each quantity from 1 to 6. Quantity Average Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Total Cost (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) 0 16 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 The equilibrium price is currently $10. Each firm produces __________ units, so the total quantity supplied in the market is _________ units. In the long run, firms can enter and exit the market, and all entrants have the same costs as in the previous table. As this market makes the transition to its long-run equilibrium, the price will _______ , quantity demanded will ________ , and the quantity supplied by…

Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel, $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides, and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations What is the accounting profit for the family farm?

For the Statement at the end, there are drop down arrows and options for you to choose from, and values to fill in. Drop down options will be listen in brackets, and blanks are values that must be found. Simone's profit is maximized when she produces _______shirts. When she does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt she produces is $_______ , which is (greater/less) than the price Simone receives for each shirt she sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt over the amount that would maximize her profit) is ________, which is (greater/less) than the price Simone receives for each shirt she sells. Therefore, Simone's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the (marginal cost and marginal revenue/ total cost and profit/ total cost and total revenue/ marginal cost and total revenue/ total revenue and profit/ total cost and marginal revenue) curves. Because Simone is a price taker, this last condition can also be…
Kasey Puzzle, Inc. sells geography-based puzzles. Kasey currently sells 25,000 units a month for $40 each, has variable costs of $20 per unit, and fixed costs of $300,000. Kasey Puzzle is considering increasing the price of its units to $60 per unit. This will not affect costs, but demand is expected to drop 20%. Should Kasey Puzzle increase the price of its product? с Multiple Choice O O Yes, profit will increase $500,000. No, profit will decrease $500,000. No, profit will decrease $300,000.
