- Management has at its disposal the following information: Demand (price) function: P =423– 4.5Q Total cost function: C(Q) = 220+90Q. Using the above functions, the profit-maximizing quantity is (..............) units. (write only the number) Answer:If total revenue rises by 20% when the price increases by 5%, this means:. Single choice. (1 Point) demand is price inelastic demand is price elastic demand is unit elastic demand is perfectly inelastic 1717, Implicit costs are:. Single choice. (1 Point) equal to total fixed costs. comprised entirely of variable costs. "payments" for self-employed resources. always greater in the short run than in the long run. 1818, With fixed costs of $400, a firm has average total costs of $3 and average variable costs of $2.50. Its output is:. Single choice. (1 Point) 200 units. 400 units. 800 units. 1,600 units. 1919, When firms advertise their product, they are trying to:. Single choice. (1 Point) Shift the demand curve to the right Make the demand curve steeper Make demand for the product more inelastic All of the aboveQ: determine whether the following statements are true or false: a) Average fixed costs increase when the total volume of the produced goods increases. b) If the market price is constant, the increase in output will not affect the size of the firm's profit.

The firm now sells about 20,000 pairs a year at an average price of $10 each. Fixed costs $60,000, and total variable costs equal $120,000. The production department has estimated that a 10 percent increase in output would not affect fixed costs but would reduce average variable cost by 40 cents. The marketing department advocates a price reduction of 5 percent to increase sales, total revenues, and profits. The arc elasticity of demand is estimated at -2. Evaluate the impact of the proposal to cut prices on (1) total revenue, (2) total cost, and (3) total profits. If average variable costs are assumed to remain constant over a 10 percent increase in output, evaluate the effects of the proposed price cut on total profits.has established that the relationship between the price for one of its products is approximately. In addition there is a fixed cost of $45,000 per year and the variable cost to manufacture the product is $45 per unit. What level of demand maximizes the total revenue? Ans. is Blank 1. What level of demand maximizes the total profit for this product? Ans. is Blank 2. Blank 1_____________ Blank 2_____________
- THIS IS WRONG!!! THIS IS THE SAME SOLUTION PROVIDED AS BEFORE (EXACT COPY AND PASTE). PLEASE PROVIDE A CORRECT SOLUTION. THE CORRECT ANSWERS ARE: Long-run quantity = 39 Long-run intercept = 158 Long-run price = 119 Long-run profits = 0Wyandotte Chemical Company sells various chemicals to the automobile industry. Wyandotte currently sells 30,000 gallons of polyol per year at an average price of $30 per gallon. Fixed costs of manufacturing polyol are $180,000 per year and total variable costs equal $360,000. The operations research department has estimated that a 15 percent increase in output would not affect fixed costs but would reduce average variable costs by 60 cents per gallon. The marketing department has estimated the arc elasticity of demand for polyol to be –2.0. How much would Wyandotte have to reduce the price of polyol to achieve a 15 percent increase in the quanity sold in percent? Such a price cut would increase or decrease total revenues from $900,000 to $ ? Total costs would be $ . and total profits would be $ ?Consider the following price-demand function: P = 80 − 4Q, {Q/0 ≤ Q ≤ 10} (i) Sketch the price-demand function(ii) Find the revenue function.(iii) Suppose C = 20 + 5Q , find the profit function(iv) Calculate the profit if Q=8(v) Find the break-even level of output You have to solve iv and v
