A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and 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, 430 for the fifth, 450 for the sixth, and 500 for the seventh. Create a table that shows the companys output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? 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 AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss. 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 AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss.

The Calhoun Textile Mill is in the process of deciding on a production schedule. It wishesto know how to weave the various fabrics it will produce during the coming quarter. Thesales department has confirmed orders for each of the 15 fabrics produced by Calhoun.These demands are given in the following table. Also given in this table is the variablecost for each fabric. The mill operates continuously during the quarter: 13 weeks, 7 daysa week, and 24 hours a day.There are two types of looms: dobbie and regular. Dobbie looms can be used to makeall fabrics and are the only looms that can weave certain fabrics, such as plaids. The rateof production for each fabric on each type of loom is also given in the table. Note that ifthe production rate is zero, the fabric cannot be woven on that type of loom. Also, if afabric can be woven on each type of loom, then the production rates are equal. Calhounhas 90 regular looms and 15 dobbie looms. For this problem, assume the time requirementto change…
. In a perfectly competitive market there is a donut shop that sells 1,200 donuts daily. Each donut sells for the market price of $0.75 and they sell out every day. Assume that this company has labor costs of $275 and materials costs of $400. a. Using only variable costs, what is the donut shop’s daily profit? - Now assume that the owner is thinking of adding a second location downtown. The capital investment required is $4,000 (Sunk Cost). The $4000 is Sunk Cost. The normal rate of return is 5%. b. If the new shop could operate under the same conditions as the original location is it a good business decision to expand? c. What would be the new shop’s daily profit?
