- You own a company that produces widgets. You currently produce 100 widgets; each widget sells for $100 and costs $80 to produce. You are considering increasing your company's production by one unit, upping the total to 101 widgets. At this level of production, total revenue will increase to $10,100, and total costs will increase to $8,120. Based on the given information, and considering you are a good entrepreneur and economist who wants to maximize profit, you should... A. Sell less than 100 units B. Not produce unit 101 C. Produce unit 101 D. Produce 150 unitsYour firm's research department has estimated your total revenues to be R(Q) = 30,000Q - 80Q^2 and your total costs to be C(Q) = 1,000 + 20Q^2 (a) What level of Q maximizes net benefits? (Note that the marginal functions are MR(Q) = 30,000 - 160Q and MC(Q) = 40Q) (b) what is the marginal benefit for the level of Q you computed? (c) what is the maximum level of net benefits?In the results, Sam's earnings are listed first and Jane's earnings are listed second. Jane A B Sam A ($100, $100) ($200, $0) B ($0, $200) ($150, $150) Jane and Sam are the only two growers who provide organically grown tomatoes to a local supermarket. They know that if they cooperated and produced less tomatoes, they could raise the price of tomatoes. If they work independently, they will earn $100 each. If they decide to work together and both lower their output, the will earn $150 each. If one person lowers output and the other does not, the person who lowers output will earn $0 and the other person will capture the entire market and will earn $200. The table above represents the choices available to Jane and Sam. What is the best choice for Sam if he is sure that Jane will cooperate? If Jane thinks Sam will cheat, what should she do and why? What is the prisoner's dilemma result? What is the preferred choice if they could ensure cooperation? A = Work…
- Suppose there are four villagers who can either raise sheep or bake bread. A sheepherder must buy a sheep for $200, raise it on the common and then sell it at the market in a nearby town. The table below shows how much a sheepherder can sell a sheep for. In the same time it takes to bring a sheep to the market, bread bakers can make a profit of $35. You will need to copy the table and fill it in as you answer the questions. A. Assuming each villager acts independently, how many sheep will be raised on the common? B. What is the total income of all four villagers? $ Part 2 Suppose you are the village elder. You no longer raise sheep or bake. Instead you sit around all day contemplating the meaning of life. One day you realize that the total profit of the village would be higher if fewer sheep were on the common. How many sheep should be on the common in order to maximize the village's profit? _______ sheep Part 3 Suppose there are two sheep on the common. A villager is…Discuss some of the problems encountered when firms allocate sizable rewards to the winner of the tournament.Define economic efficiency.

- Suppose that you own a 10 acre plot of land that you would like to rent out to wheat farmers. For them, bringing in a harvest involves $30 per acre for seed, $80 per acre for fertilizer, and $70 per care for equipment rentals and labor. With these inputs, the land will yield 40 bushels of wheat per acre. Now suppose the price at which wheat cab be sold is $7 per bushel and that farmers want to earn a normal profit of $10 per acre. What is the most that any farmer would pay to rent your 10 acres? What if the price of wheat rose to $8 per bushel?Suppose that you own a 10-acre plot of land that you would like to rent out to wheat farmers. For them, bringing in a harvest involves $30 per acre for seed, $80 per acre for fertilizer, and $70 per acre for equipment rentals and labor. With these inputs, the land will yield 40 bushels of wheat per acre. If the price at which wheat can be sold is $5 per bushel and if farmers want to earn a normal profit of $10 per acre, what is the most that any farmer would pay to rent your 10 acres? What if the price of wheat rose to $6 per bushel?A firm makes three products, in quantities X, Y and Z. It wishes to maximize its profit function: π= 8X + 16Y + 4Z − 0.8X2 − 0.8Y2 − Z2 i) However, in order to satisfy customer orders, it must produce a total of 24 items which are either product X or product Y. Show how many of each of its three products it should produce and find the profit it makes.
- When real estate agents sell their own, rather than clients', houses, they leave the houses on the market for a longer time (10 days longer on average) and wind up with better prices. Suppose that real estate agents earn a commission equal to 3% of the sale value of each house that they help sell. Suppose a real estate agent has an offer on a house of $600,000. The agent can get a 4% higher offer with more effort and by leaving the house on the market for a few more weeks. If the agent sells the house now, she will earn a commission of . By keeping the house on the market and expending more effort to sell the house, the agent can earn a commission of . Thus, the agent gains for the extra effort and time of keeping the house on the market. Suppose a real estate agent has an offer on a house that she owns. The agent has a current offer of $600,000, but can get a 4% higher offer with more effort and by leaving the house on the market for a few more weeks. Assume that all of…Hello, I would like to request help with the below discussion question for my Quantative Analysis class. For a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=50x+150 and the revenue function for selling x items is R(x)=-0.5(x-130)^2+8,450. The maximum capacity of the company is 180 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit! Answer to some of the questions are given below so that you can check your work. 1. Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function? P(x)=_____________ 2. What is the domain of P(x)? 3. The company can choose to produce either 80 or 90 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose? Profit when producing 80 items = _____________ Profit when producing 90…Consider two companies (A and B) which produce good A and good B respectively. To produce A, one needs capital and labor. To produce B, one also needs capital and labor; however, the supply elasticity of capital is lower for good B than it is for good A. In other words, as interest rates change, people are less likely to invest in good B than in good A. Holding all else constant, which good will have a higher elasticity of labor demand (in absolute value) and why?
