(MANAGERIAL ECONOMICS) Show algebraic solution please Assume that B = -Q 2 + 4,500Q and C= 2Q 2 are the benefits and costs of increasing the units of X-brand energy drink (in a 500 ml bottle).A. What is the profit function of X-brand energy drink production? B. What is the profit-maximizing value of Q? Solve the problem using a tabular solution, showing the Profit, MB, MC and MNB values; assume Q varies by 50 units (in 500 ml bottle). Highlight the profit maximizing level.
Case A: Jackie Brown Company.Suppose you are the economic advisor of Jackie Brown Company, a perfectly competitive company that is suffering economic losses due to unforeseen continuous drop in the market price. Jackie Brown is a price taker; hence it cannot influence the market price, nor could it change production technology in the short run. You are asked to decide whether the company should shut down its operations or to continue to operate at a loss. Jackie Brown is selling 50 units of output per day, at a price of $20 per unit. The cost of raw material, direct labor, energy, and other variable inputs is about $24000 monthly. Unfortunately, an estimate of Jackie Brown fixed costs is currently unavailable.So, what is your decision? Justify your answer.
Table 11.4 Number of Workers Total Product Product Price ($) 0 0 4 1 15 4 2 29 4 3 42 4 4 54 4 5 65 4 6 75 4 7 84 4 8 92 4 9 99 4 10 105 4 Refer to Table 11.4 for the data for a perfectly competitive firm. The first column shows the number of workers employed in production, the second column shows the total product of the firm, and the third column shows its product price. From the data in the table, it can be said that the marginal revenue product begins to decline with the second worker hired. Group of answer choices False True

Why? d)Should the firm produce this level of output or shut down? Why? please all do subparts because I have very urgent solution
Multiple choice - microeconomics 39) A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market produces small rubber balls. When the market price for small rubber balls falls below the minimum of its average total cost but still lies above the minimum of average variable cost, what happens to the firm? A. It will experience losses, but it will continue to produce rubber balls. B. It will be earning only accounting profits. C. It will be earning both economic and accounting profits. D. It will shut down. 38)
Course: Microeconomic - Production Function and Perfect Competence Markets Establish the veracity of the following comments and explain your answer.1. The long-run industry supply is always infinitely elastic, since the free entry and exit of firms forces it to be located at the long-run minimum average cost. Explain. Graph is needed. 2. Assuming that the prices of the factors of production remain constant and there are no entry barriers, in the face of a positive demand shock, the price in the industry in the long run will not be affected. Explain Graph is needed 3. In the short run, the supply curve of a perfectly competitive industry ALWAYS has a positive slope. Explain Graph is needed 4. In perfect competition, a firm's supply is given by the increasing part of the marginal cost function. Explain Graph is needed

1. Draw the following for a firm in a competitive industry. Assume that the firm faces diminishing marginal product at some point. Remember to label all curves and axes. a. Fixed cost and average fixed cost. b. Marginal cost c. Average variable cost and average total cost. d. Identify the price ranges that will induce entry, exit and shutdown assuming all firms face identical cost curves. e. Assuming firms are producing at minimum efficient scale, draw the industry long run supply curve in parallel with or in reference to the firm level curves from above. 2. A major proposed industry in the future is the provision of global satellite wifi. However, the actual willingness to pay for such a service is unknown. Assume there's a 40% chance that there are 1 billion people willing to pay $100/year for a service that would cost $60/year to provide and a 60% chance that those people would be willing to pay $10/year for a service that would cost $60/year to provide. Assume that the enterprise…
Memo 1 To:Pricing Manager, Tri-State Region From:Regional Vice President, Tri-State Region Re:Revenue from EPIX We recently added the EPIX Movie Channels as part of a new tier of programming for our digital video subscribers. The EPIX channels are sold as an add-on package for $9.75 per month, but we would like to potentially increase our revenue from our subscriber base. Currently we have about 15,059 subscribers, generating monthly revenue of $146,823.Some have suggested we should cut price, as customers tend to be fairly price sensitive for add-on packages. However, in this case, if we lower price for our new subscribers, we really need to cut it to all of our existing subscribers as well. I have some concerns that lowering price will be counter-productive.The marketing department calculated some subscription levels at various price points in this region, and I need you to perform the analysis.…
