Scenario 14-2 Assume a certain firm is producing Q = 1,000 units of output. At Q = 1,000, the firms marginal cost equals $15 and its average total cost equals $11. The firm sells its output for $12 per unit. Refer to Scenario 14-2. At Q = 1,000, the firms profit amounts to Select one: a. O b. O c. O d. $1,000. $-200. $4,000. $3,000.

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
Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run?
What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?
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. Each tub costs $10 in the market whilethe producer faces variable costs of $3 per tub.a. What is the economic breakeven level of production?b . Calculate the ice cream producer’s monthly proﬁts at full capacity. What would happen to the monthly proﬁts if another ice cream producer entered themarket, driving the price of ice cream tubs down to $7 per unit?
The expansion path of a firm gives five different quantities of output such as 10,20,30,40 and 50 units; and the price of labor is $25 and the price of capital is $100 per unit.

Nina is a farmer that grows and sells tomatoes. Her total explicit and implicit costs are 950000 per year, and her explicit fixed cost are 340000 per year. Nina could otherwise earn 60000 in her next best alternative lone of business or employment. Each bushel of tomatoes sells for $40. This year, nina sold 25000 bushels of tomatoes. What are ninas average fixed costs, average variable costs, and average total costs of production? Interpret what each of these costs mean for nina. What is ninas economic profit? What is her accounting profit?

Given the nature of sidewalk shoveling production, why does Megan’s marginal cost curve look like it does in your graph? b)Suppose the market price for shoveling a sidewalk is $20 per sidewalk. How many sidewalks will Megan shovel each day to maximize profit? c)Suppose the market price of shoveling a sidewalk rises to $25 because it has been a snowy winter. How many sidewalks will Megan shovel each day to maximize profit?
