- You are managing sports apparel sales. The way contracts are writlen, you purchase the rights to buy a fixed block of copyrighted materials for a negotiated price for a given yoar. You then sell these materials through your channels and try to make the moat possible. Apparel sales are automated through online channels so the additional cost of selling a given unit is negligible. In other words, the cost structure is relatively fixed no matter how many units you sell. What is an aporopriate optimization target for this type of cost structure and what will elasticity equal if you optimize prices well?Which of the ff statements are true about cost function a. It estimate the total cost of production given a specific budget b. It helps predict what the marginal cost would be to produce a product at different levels of output c. It allows management to evaluate how efficiently the production process was at the beginning of the operation period d. It helps manager understand the price behavior of the product A firm profit maximization point is where a. Total revenue Is greater than total cost b. Marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost c. Marginal revenue is greater than total cost d. Marginal cost is less than total costAn ice cream producer has fixed costs of Php 3,500,000 per month, and it can produce up to 15,000 ice cream tubs per month. Each tub costs Php 500 in the market while the producer faces variable costs of Php 150 per tub. a. What is the economic breakeven level of production? b. Calculate the ice cream producer’s monthly profits at full capacity. c. What would happen to the monthly profits if another ice cream producer entered the market, driving the price of ice cream tubs down to Php 350 per unit?
- Thranduil company’s market research department is working on the pricing of a product. The field research shows that average demand is expected to be 8000 units at price 50 TL. From this point, each 1 TL change in price will negatively affect demand with a magnitude of 100 units. Fixed and variable costs are confronted for producing the product. According to the information obtained from the financial department, 200,000 TL is the estimate of fixed costs and 20 TL is the estimate of variable costs per unit produced. Assume that all units produced are sold.Which of the following prices is the one that maximizes the company's profit?PakPerfect Inc. estimates equation of its total costs of production as TC = 500 + 10Q + 5Q2 and market demand for its product as Qd = 105 – (1/2) P, where Q is quantity in units and P is price in Pak$. Write the equations of the firm’s costs, as a function of Q: Average Total Cost ATC Average Variable Cost AVC Average Fixed Cost AFC Given above costs can you determine what will be the firm’s production in Stage 1? What is the breakeven price and breakeven quantity for this firm? What is the shutdown price and quantity for this firm? Draw the firm’s costs in a graph as per your determination in (a). Label the breakeven and shutdown price and quantity using information in (b) and (c) above. Given the market price of Pak$ 50 how many units should the firm produce? how many firms are competing in this market in short-run? How many firms will be in the industry in the long-run? How do you interpret the profit or loss condition of PakPerfect? Use a two-panel graph of the Market and…Appleway Industries produces apple juice and sells it in a competitive market. The firm’s manager must determine how much juice to produce before he knows what the market (competitive) price will be. Economists estimate that there is a 30 percent chance the market price will be $2 per gallon and a 70 percent chance it will be $1 when the juice hits the market. If the firm’s cost function is C = 200 + 0.0005Q2, how much juice should be produced to maximize expected profits? What are the expected profits of Appleway Industries?

- an American multinational that sells consumer electronic products, has manufacturing facilities in three countries: Brazil, Thailand, and Canada. The average hourly wage rate, output per worker, and annual overhead cost for each location are as follows: Given the above figures, is Storm currently allocating its production resources optimally? If not, what should it do? Justify your answer. Now, suppose that Storm is planning to consolidate all its manufacturing into one facility. Where should it locate? Justify your answer.One of the reasons why managers care about the supply-side of the firm and cost functions is: a. Because estimating variable costs and output levels assists in managing inventory costs efficiently. b. Because increasing returns lead to economies of scale and economies of scale generate important strategic implication c. Because fixed costs affect the cost of capital. d. All options are correct.Respond to the question with a concise and accurate answer, along with a clear explanation and step-by-step solution, or risk receiving a downvote. 1 Assume a firm faces these costs: total cost of capital = $4,000; price paid for labor = $20 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $8 per raw-material unit. Originally the firm produced 2,000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 200 units of labor and 500 units of raw materials. Now the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 3,000 units of output by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 500 units of raw materials. What happened to total cost? Multiple Choice TC increased by $2,000 TC decreased by $2,000 TC decreased by $4,000 TC remained unchanged 2 Assume a firm faces these costs: total cost of capital = $4,000; price paid for labor = $20 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $8 per raw-material unit.
