What is die difference between accounting and economic profit?
Your aunt is thinking about opening a hardware store. She estimates that it would cost $500,000 per year to rent the location and buy the stock. In addition, she would have to quit her $50,000 per year job as an accountant. Your aunt’s opportunity costs comprise * If your aunt thought she could sell $510,000 worth of merchandise in a year, what is your aunt’s accounting profit? *$10,000-$40,000$460,000$0Given the above situation, what is your aunt’s economic profit? *$10,000-$40,000$460,000$0
9 The average cost of producing 10 units is Rs 30, while the average cost of producing 20 units is Rs 20. Find the average cost of producing 30 units. {Hint : Find Fixed cost. TC of 10 units = Rs 300, TC of 20 units = Rs 400, VC = Rs 10/ unit Fixed cost = TC = FC + VC (10* 10) = 300 = FC + 100 = FC = 200. Thus, AC of producing 30 units will be Rs 16.67}
Karen runs a print shop that makes posters for large companies. It is a very competitive business. The market price is currently $1 per poster. She has fixed costs of $250. Her variable costs are $1,000 for the first thousand posters, $800 for the second thousand, and then $750 for each additional thousand posters. What is her AFC per poster (not per thousand!) if she prints 1,000 posters? 2,000? 10,000? What is her ATC per poster if she prints 1,000? 2,000? 10,000? If the market price fell to 70 cents per poster, would there be any output level at which Karen would not shut down production immediately?
3. The fixed costs incurred by a small genetics research lab are $200,000 per year. Variable costs are $12,500 per research project.a. If the revenue per project is $30,000, what is the breakeven number of projects of this lab in a year to sustain its operations?b. Currently, the lab works on 20 projects a year. What is their profit at this level?c. If variable costs increase to $13,000 per research project, what is the new BEP? By how much will their profit increase or decrease?

Q3_A The Break even Analysis of firm show that: BEP = 1000 FC = 10,000 $ P = 3% of the quantity of zero profit. A) The point of intersection of TR with TC is at the cost point of $ 45,000 for TR. B) At the point where (zero units sold) TC equals $ 5,000 C) the start of the line drawing for TR is at cost point $ 0 D) the value UVC for the product in question equals $ 10) E)the FC value in a point for BFP equals $ 10,000 For the given choices, showing which one is True and which one is False, correcting the False ones and given a reasonable reason for the True. Write your answer below:
A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of $250. The marginal cost of producing computers is as indicated below. Output Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Cost Average Variable Cost 1 $250 $700 $950 $700 2 $250 $925 $1175 $225 3 $250 $315 4 $250 $360 5 $250 $400 6 $250 $450 7 $250 $550 If the company sells the computers for $550, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? If the firm sells the computers for $315, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? We expect the marginal cost to increase as this firm produces more computers. But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2 computers, marginal cost falls. What might explain this?
Hau Lee Furniture, Inc., spends 60% of its sales dollars in the supply chain and has a current gross profit of $10,000. Hau wishes to increase gross profit by $5,000 (50%). He would like to compare two strategies: reducing material costs vs. increasing sales. The current material costs and production costs are 60% and 20%, respectively, of sales dollars, with fixed cost at a constant $10,000. Analysis indicates that an improvement in the supply chain that would reduce material costs by 8.3% ($5,000/$60,000) would produce a 50% net profit gain for Hau, whereas a much larger 25% increase in sales ($25,000/$100,000) would be required to produce the same result. Now Hau finds its current profit of $10,000 inadequate. The bank is insisting on an improved profit picture prior to approval of a loan for some new equipment. Hau would like to improve the profit line to $25,000 so he can obtain the bank’s approval for the loanWhat percentage improvement is needed in the supply chain strategy for…

Crawford Computing finds that its weekly profit, in dollars, from its production and sale of x laptop computers is P(x)=-.002x^3-.15x^2+400x-800 Currently, Crawford builds and sells 9 laptops weekly. (a) what is the current weekly profit? (b) how much profit would be lost if production and sales dropped to 8 laptops weekly? (c) what is the marginal profit with x=9? (d) use answers from parts (a) and (c) to estimate the profit resulting from the production and sale of 10 laptops weekly.
Only typed answer and don't use chat gpt and please answer correctly Suppose that you can sell as much of a product (in integer units) as you like at $61 per unit. Your marginal cost (MC) for producing the qth unit is given by: MC=9q This means that each unit costs more to produce than the previous one (e.g., the first unit costs 9*1, the second unit (by itself) costs 9*2, etc.). If fixed costs are $50, what is the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer. Also, assume that a competitive firm has the total cost function: TC = 1q3 - 40q2 + 710q + 1700 Suppose the price of the firm's output (sold in integer units) is $550 per unit. Using tables (but not calculus) to find a solution, what is the total profit at the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer.
