Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by: C= 200 + 2Q2, where Q is the level of output and C is the total cost. a) If the price of watches is $100, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits?b) What will be your profit level?c) At what minimum price will the firm produce a positive output?
The cost function for a firm is given by CQ) = 5 + Q If the firm sells output in a perfectly competitive market and other firms in the industry sell output at a price of $20, what price should the manager of this firm put on the product? What level of output should be produced to maximize profits? How much profit will be earned? As per your solution provided The profit is maximized: MC=MR=P C(Q) = 5+Q2 MC= dC/dQ = 2Q ...what is dC and dQ here??? and why dC/dQ = 2Q?? please assist
A competitive firm's cost of producing q units of output is TC=18+4q+q^2 Its corresponding marginal cost is MC=4+2q The firm faces a market price p = $24. Create a spreadsheet with q = 0, 1, 2, …, 15, where the columns are q, TR, TC, TVC, AVC, MC, and profit. Determine the profit-maximizing output for the firm and the corresponding profit. Should the firm produce this level of output or should it shut down? Explain briefly. Suppose the competitive price declines to p = $12. Repeat the calculations of part a. Should the firm shut down?
Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, and hiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discovers that it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December 2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such a decision. Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs and found itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, an electricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing its current aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increase its profit by simply reselling its electricity. When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. One important concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation in Spokane, Washington, entered…

Chloe is a chef who runs a niche food delivery business in a competitive industry. Chloe specializes in making monster calzones. Chloe sells 20 monster calzones per month. Her monthly total revenue is $5,000. The marginal cost of making a monster calzone is $300. In order to maximize profits, Chloe should A) make more than 20 calzones per month. B) make fewer than 20 calzones per month. C) continue to make 20 calzones per month. D) We do not have enough information with which to answer the question.
Airbus owns 2 plants and has contracted to produce 10 airplanes next year. The cost per airplane at plant 1 is given by 17 + (q1/10) and the cost per airplane at plant 2 is 7 + q2. No matter how Airbus allocates the production of its planes across the 2 plants, it costs at least as much per plane to produce planes at plant 1 as at plant 2. Therefore, Airbus should shut down plant 1. True, false, or uncertain? Explain and show your work.
A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market where other firms charge a price of $70 per unit. The firm estimates its total costs as C(Q) = 40 + 10Q + 2Q2. a. How much output should the firm produce in the short run? units b. What price should the firm charge in the short run? $ c. What are the firm’s short-run profits? $ d. What adjustments should be anticipated in the long run? multiple choice Exit will occur since these economic profits are too low. No firms will enter or exit at these profits. Entry will occur until economic profits shrink to zero.
Habib Bank Limited estimates equation of demand of its product as: Q = 55 – 0.5P - (where P = price and Q = Quantity of output), and its total cost of production as TC = 20 + Q + 0.2Q2 Where TC = total cost and Q = Quantity of output) 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.? Marginal Cost MC?
