2. For the second setting, imagine that there is only a single monopolist thatsells both types of car. That is, the same firm chooses both Qo and Q1.(a) Write down the monopolist's profits. It should contain separate termsrelating to the two types of car. For questions 2-4, leave general termsTo and T1 in your expression as in question 1(d), rather than imposingTo = 20, T1 = -20 as in questions 1(a)–1(c). There are two types of car, distinguished by how fuel eficient they are. TypeO is the less fuel efficient type, and type 1 is the more fuel efficient. The inversedemand curves for the two types of car are:Po = 250 – Qo – Qı/2, P = 120 – Q1 – Qo/2.(1)Cost functions areCo(Qo) = 50Q0, C:(Q1) = 20Q1(2)

A factory manager is planning for the manufacture of plywood to be sold overseas. The fixed cost of operation is estimated at $800,000 per month while the variable cost is $155 per thousand board feet of plywood. The selling price will depend on how much will be produced and sold and is determined by the relationship, price per thousand board feet, p = $600 – 0.05D, where D is the amount produced and sold in thousands of board feet. Determine the monthly production that will maximize the total profit and corresponsding price. Dettermine also the corresponding maximum profit per month. A) For maximum profit, (to the nearest unit) thousands of board feet per month must be produced and sold at per thousand board feet of plywood.(Round to the nearest cent.) B) The maximum profit per month is equal to $
A bicycle component manufacturer produces hubs for bike wheels. Two processes are possible for manufacturing, and the parameters of each process are as follows: Assume that the daily demand for hubs allows all defect-free items to be sold. Additionally, defective hubs cannot be sold and their material cannot be recovered anymore. Find the process that minimizes the total cost per piece if each part is made from $4 worth of material. Both processes are fully automated, and the variable overhead cost is charges at $40 per hour.
Sales of bottled water in the United States totaled 34.0 gallons per person in 2014. Evian, a high-quality natural spring water, costs about 60¢ per bottle, while a local brand of purified municipal water may cost only 25¢ per bottle. On average, a local municipal water utility may provide drinkable tap water for $2.90 per 1000 gallons. If the average person drinks two bottles of water per day or uses 5 gallons per day to obtain the same amount of water from the tap, what are the present worth values per person for 1 year of drinking tap water versus bottled water using (a) Evian, and (b) local-brand bottled water? Use an interest rate of 6% per year, compounded monthly, and 30 days per month.
Zabrina has started her own company, Lockey, which manufactures imprinted jeans. Since he just begun this operation, he rents the equipment from a local printing shop when necessary. The cost of using the equipment is P3,000. The materials used in one jean cost P200, and he can sell it at 350. Requirements: Provide for a mathematical model that will show how to maximize the profit.
enata and Jerome operate a company that makes miniature electronic surveillance drones from a warehouse in an industrial estate. Each drone costs them $49 to make and has additional fixed costs of $275 (per drone). On average, Renata and Jerome sell 85 drones per week for a price of $64 each. Renata and Jerome then decide to have a sale and reduces the price of each drone to an even numbered price between $54 and $60 inclusive. During the sale, they sell on average 150 devices per week. Q.Plot Total Cost, Total Revenue and Profit Functions on the same set of axes and Find the Marginal Revenue (MR) and Marginal Cost (MC) functions by differentiation and determine the level of output q at which MR = MC.

Israel's "Iron Dome" Works! Israel’s Iron Dome is an air defense system designed to intercept and destroy incoming missiles and mortars fired across the border by Hamas and other Palestinian factions. It works. Israel’s Defense Minister claims the Iron Dome has been 90 percent effective in shielding population centers. From 2014 until 2021, more than 2,400 projectiles were intercepted, most of them launched from the Gaza Strip by militants. In 2021 Israel upgraded the system to work on ships as well as land. Suppose the annual cost of the Iron Dome is $500 million. What is the opportunity cost of this defense spending in terms of private housing assuming a new home can be constructed for $100,000?
A local company assembling stereo radio cassette produces 300 units per month at a cost of ₱700 per unit. Each stereo radio cassette sells for ₱1,200. If the firm makes a profit of 10% on its 10,000 shares with a par value of ₱200 per share and the total cost per month is ₱20,000. How many units gives the break-even point and how much is the loss or profit if only 100 units are produced in a given month?
Focus on the difference between feasible alternatives. Insulated concrete forms (ICF) can be used as a substitute for conventional wood framing in building construction. Heating and cooling bills will be about 50% less than in a similar wood-framed building in upstate New York. An ICF home will be approximately 10% more expensive to construct than a wood-framed home. For a typical 2,000 ft2 home costing $120 per ft2 to construct in upstate New York and costing $200 per month to heat and cool, how many months does it take for a 2,000 ft2 ICF home to pay back its extraconstruction cost?
Restaurants in tourists' areas will close during the off-season if their: AFC is greater than their TR. ATC is less than their TR. AVC is greater than their TR. AFC is less than their TR.
When the variable cost is reduced for linear total cost and revenue lines, the breakeven point decreases. This is an economic advantage because:a. the revenue per unit will increase.b. the two lines will now cross at zero. c. the profit will increase for the same revenue per unit.d. the total cost line becomes nonlinear.
Identify the following cost elements as first-cost (FC) components or annual operating cost (AOC) components for a piece of equipment in a chemical processing plant: rent, direct labor, equipment overhaul, overhead, supplies, insurance, equipment cost, utility cost, installation, delivery charges, salaried personnel, and periodic safety training.
The making of rivet holes in structural steel members can be done by 2 methods. The first method consists of laying out the position of the holes in the members and using a drill press costing P100k. The machinist is paid P60 per hour and he can drill 80 holes per hour. The second method makes use of a multiple-punch machine costing P80k. The punch operator is paid P40 an hour and he can punch out 1 hole for 3 seconds. This method also requires an expense of P1.25 per hole to set the machine. How many hours will it take the Multiple Punch Machine to finish the 10k holes. a. 92 b. 8.3 c. 0.92 d. 8.9
