HighFlyer Airlines wants to build new airplanes with greatly increased cabin space. This will allow HighFlyer Airlines to give passengers more comfort and sell more tickets at a higher price. However, redesigning the cabin means rethinking many other elements of the airplane as well, like engine and luggage placement, and the most efficient shape of the plane for moving through the air. HighFlyer Airlines has developed a list of possible methods to increase cabin space, along with estimates of how these approaches would affect the planes operating costs and ticket sales. Based on these estimates, Table 13.5 shows the value of R, how much should the firm invest in R on top of the private return; that is, an R private return to HighFlyer Airlines would have a 9 social return. How much investment is socially optimal at the 6 interest rate?
Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?
Monique has a flock of six chickens in her backyard that she initially bought for $6 each. Theflock currently lays 20 eggs per week, which Monique and her family consume at home, andher current cost of feed is $2 per week. Monique has a job that pays $8/hour with flexiblehours, but she is thinking of selling her chickens’ eggs to earn extra income. To start sellingeggs, she would need to increase production to 30 eggs per week. She can do this by increasingthe chickens’ feed to $3 per week and taking an hour off work each week to devote to chickenrearing. If the market price of her farm-fresh eggs is $1 per egg, what would be Monique’sweekly economic profits from selling her chickens’ eggs? (Select one from below) (a) −$9: This is her revenue minus her accounting cost.(b) −$1: This is her revenue minus her production cost.(c) $0: Eggs are a constant-cost market so producers must earn 0 profits.(d) $1: This is her revenue minus her economic cost.(e) $7: This is her revenue minus her…

11.2 The cost, in thousands of dollars, of airing x television commercials during a sports event is given by C(x) = 20 + 3,000x + 0.01x2. (a) Find the marginal cost function C'(x). HINT [See Example 1.] C'(x) = Use it to estimate how fast the cost is increasing when x = 4. thousand dollars per television commercialCompare this with the exact cost of airing the fifth commercial. The cost is going up at the rate of $ per television commercial. The exact cost of airing the fifth commercial is $ . Thus, there is a difference of $ . (b) Find the average cost function C, and evaluate C(4). HINT [See Example 2.] C(x) = C(4) = thousand dollars per television commercial What does the answer tell you? The average cost of airing the first four commercials is $ per commercial.

Tim's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Chicago that sells gluten-free pizzas. Tim's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which his workers bake the pizzas. Tim signed a lease obligating him to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Tim's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Tim cannot change the number of ovens he uses in his production of pizzas in the short run.
Sean is a hard-working college freshman. One Thursday, he decides to work nonstop until he has answered 88 practice problems for his physics course. He starts work at 8:00 AM and uses a table to keep track of his progress throughout the day. He notices that as he gets tired, it takes him longer to solve each problem. Time Total Problems Answered 8:00 AM 0 9:00 AM 40 10:00 AM 64 11:00 AM 80 Noon 88 Use the table to answer the following questions. The marginal, or additional, gain from Sean’s second hour of work, from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, is problems. The marginal gain from Sean’s fourth hour of work, from 11:00 AM to noon, is problems. Later, the teaching assistant for Sean’s physics course gives him some advice. “Based on past experience,” the teaching assistant says, “working on 12 problems raises a student’s exam score by about the same amount as reading the textbook for 1 hour.” For simplicity, assume students always cover the same number of…
