A firm has access to two production processes with the following marginal cost curves: MC1 = 0.25x and MC2 = 6+0.1y, where output in production process 1 is x, output in production process 2 is y and hence total output produced is Q = x+y. Show your work to answer the following questions. (i) If it wants to produce 20 units of output, how much should it produce with each process? (ii) If it wants to produce 38 units of output, how much should it produce with each process? (iii) If it wants to produce 108 units of output, how much should it produce with each process?

Question Onea. The Mature Corporation produces yo-yos at its factory. Both its labor and capital markets are competitive. Wages are K12 per hour and yo-yo-making equipment (a computer controlled plastic extruding machine) rents for K4 per hour. The production function is q = 40K 0.25L 0.75, where q = boxes of yo-yos per week, K = hours of yo-yo equipment used, and L = hours of labor. i Determine the cost minimizing capital-labor ratio at this firm. ii Determine the amount of labour used in production as a function of q. b.

To maximize profit, a price taker will expand its output as long as the sale of additional units adds more to revenues (marginal revenues) than to costs (marginal costs). Therefore, the profit-maximizing price taker will produce the output level at which marginal revenue (and price) equals marginal cost. In a price-taker market, if a business produces efficiently (i.e., that is, where marginal revenues = marginal costs), the firm will be able to make at least a normal profit. True of False. Explain
Average and marginal profit Let C(x) represent the cost ofproducing x items and p(x) be the sale price per item if x items aresold. The profit P(x) of selling x items is P(x) = xp(x) - C(x)(revenue minus costs). The average profit per item when x items aresold is P(x)/x and the marginal profit is dP/dx. The marginal profitapproximates the profit obtained by selling one more item, given that x items have already been sold. Consider the following cost functions Cand price functions p.a. Find the profit function P.b. Find the average profit function and the marginal profit function.c. Find the average profit and the marginal profit if x = a units are sold.d. Interpret the meaning of the values obtained in part (c). C(x) = -0.02x2 + 50x + 100, p(x) = 100 - 0.1x, a = 500
Suppose that each firm in a competitive pizza market has the following identical cost: Total cost: TC=25+1.5Q2 Formulate the equation or level of fixed cost, variable cost, marginal cost, average variable cost (AVC) and average total cost (ATC) for each firm. Sketch a diagram to illustrate average total cost (ATC) and marginal cost (MC) for Q from 1 to 20. Identify the quantity at which the average total cost (ATC) reaches its minimum and interpret its economic or business implication. An innovation was diffused widely among all firms in the market. Adoption of this innovation will help to reduce 20% of the variable cost for any given level of production while all other factors remain the same. A firm needs to pay a fee of $5 to adopt the innovation. Formulate the new production cost functions (TC, TFC, TVC, ATC and MC) for each firm.

Assume that a firm’s total revenue is $200,000 per year. It pays its workers wages of $105,000 per year and buys raw materials of $80,000 per year. If the owner has $200,000 invested in this business and could earn 9% by placing this $200,000 in another business, then A) economic profits and accounting profits are both positive. or B)opportunity cost is zero.
