You are considering getting a Little Nero Caesar Salad Franchise, because your boss (the owner of a Down Under Sandwich Shoppe) seems to be making it big. The Down Under Shoppe grosses an average of $380,000 sales annually. You estimate that your business will gross an average of 95% of Down Under’s sales. You must borrow $320,000 from the bank. The bank will charge you 12% per annum interest on this loan. You also will invest $50,000 of your savings in the business (thus you will no longer receive the 4% per annum interest from this). NOTE: neither the bank loan principal nor the $50,000 of your savings you invest is an explicit or implicit cost. However, the interest paid on the bank loan is explicit and the interest foregone on your savings is implicit. Other estimated explicit expenses are: labor $130,000 per year; rent $12,000 a year; utilities $4,000 a year; and salad ingredients $140,000 a year. An explicit expense you will have to pay Little Nero, Inc., is a franchise…

Jane has decided to buy the mini-bus and set up a commuter service between Lincoln and Omaha. There are 1000 people who will pay $400 a year each for the commuter service; $280 from each person goes for gas, maintenance, insurance, and depreciation.

Assume you are an engineer working for a chemical production company. You are on the technical team that is responsible for deciding what to do about the dangerous chemical that your company is using to produce its best-selling chemical product. Recent reports have just made known the dangers of this chemical, and the company now needs to decide how to proceed. There are several options to consider: stop producing the harmful product altogether and take a hit on total profits; continue to make the product and sell it, like nothing's wrong, since the federal government has not cracked down. You could also spend money and engineering efforts in R&D to develop a safe chemical that would take its place. There is no guarantee that this would happen any time soon, but the scientists think it is realistically possible. To make matters worse, your biggest competitor produces this harmful product off-shore and is not hampered by the US regulations. If you stop producing this product…

A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is as indicated below. Output Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Cost Average Variable Cost 1 $250 $700 $950 $700 2 $250 $925 $1175 $225 3 $250 $315 4 $250 $360 5 $250 $400 6 $250 $450 7 $250 $550 If the company sells the computers for $550, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? If the firm sells the computers for $315, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? We expect the marginal cost to increase as this firm produces more computers. But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2 computers, marginal cost falls. What might explain this?

The World of Videos operates a retail store that rents movie videos. For each of the last 10 years, World of Videos has consistently earned profits exceeding $30,000 per year. The store is located on prime real estate in a college town. World of Videos pays $2,400 per month in rent for its building, but it uses only 50 percent of the square footage rented for video rental purposes. The other portion of rented space is essentially vacant. Noticing that World of Videos only occupies a portion of the building, a real estate agent told the owner of World ofVideos that she could add $1,500 per month to her firm’s profits by renting out the unused portion of the store. While the prospect of adding an additional $1,500 to World of Videos’s bottom line was enticing, the owner was also contemplating using the additional space to rent video games. What is the opportunity cost of using the unused portion of the building for video game rentals? Please show me the formula, if there are any. Thank…
