Return to Figure 7.7. What is the marginal gain in output from increasing the number of batters from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6? Does it continue the pattern of diminishing marginal returns? Figure 7.7 How output Affects Total costs
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.
What two lines on a cost curve diagram intersect at the zero-profit point?

Compute the average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost of producing 50 and 72 haircuts. Draw the graph of line three curves between 60 and 72 haircuts.

Assume John sells milk at AUD2.50 per litre. Also, assume John sells each pizza at AUD 10.00. Calculate John's accounting profit and economic profit for the month of January.
In 2012, Barrick Gold’s two most productive mines were Cortez and Goldstrike in Nevada, USA. Table 4.5 reports their financial performance. The “average cash cost” includes operating cost, royalties, and taxes, while the “average cost” includes the cash cost as well as amortization.a. Suppose that each mine produces at the rate where the (upward-sloping) marginal cost equals the price of gold. Illustrate the shifts in Goldstrike’s marginal cost curve, selling price, and production between 2010 and 2012. (Hints: The marginal cost curve changes over time. You have only one data point on each curve. Assume any other data necessary to draw the figures.)b. Use the 2012 data to compare the (i) short-run break-even conditions for Cortez and Goldstrike; and (ii) the long-run break-even conditions for the two mines.c. If the price of gold falls to $600 per ounce, how should Barrick adjust production at the two mines?

Calculate the company’s average fixed costs, average variable costs, average total costs, and marginal costsat each level of production.(b.) The price of a case of ball bearings is 50. Seeing that she can’t make a profit, the Chief Executive Officer(CEO) decides to shut down operations. What are the firm’s profits/ losses? Was this a wise decision?Explain.(c.) Vaguely remembering his introductory economics course, the Chief Financial Officer tells the CEO it isbetter to produce 1 case of ball bearings, because marginal revenue equals marginal cost at that quantity.
An ice cream producer has ﬁxed costs of $70,000 per month, and it can produce up to 15,000 ice cream tubs per month.
