A jeweler has hired a craftsman to make handmade jewelry. All items produced are identical, but the jeweler notes that the 15th item produced costs $425 while the 30th item produced costs $375.

A firm faces the following costs: total cost of capital = $1,000; price paid for labor = $12 per labor unit; and price paid for raw materials = $4 per raw-material unit. a. Suppose the firm can produce 5,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 5,000 units of output? b. Now assume the firm improves its production process so that it can produce 6,000 units of output this year by combining its fixed capital with 100 units of labor and 450 units of raw materials. What are the total cost and average total cost of producing the 6,000 units of output? c. If units of output can always be sold for $1 each, then by how much does the firm’s profit increase after it improves its production process? d. Suppose that implementing the improved production process would require a one-time-only cost of $1,100. If the firm only considers this year’s profit, would…

Logan and Berkeley havea thriving dog grooming business which operates 5 hours a day for 4 days a week. They currently have one dog groomer and are considering hiring a second groomer. They believe that after a 12 week period, the second groomer should be able to groom 3 dogs per hour, but only groom 1 dog per hour inthe frst 12 weeks while they learn the ropes. By adding a second groomer, Logan and Berkeley would need to install an additional sink, costing $20,000, and also incur an additional $27 per hour in labour costs. Apart from labour, their current costs are $15 per dog groom (coveringitems such as dog shampoo) and $30,000 in fixed costs per year (eg. rent). They currently charge $50 per dog groom. How many weeks would it take for the second groomer to pay off and make a profit? A 116 B 23.6 C 37.7 D 49.7

ABC company creates specialty shipping bags that they sell to pharmaceutical companies across the globe. With their current equipment, ABC can produce 12,000 shipping bags for every 10 bundles of materials purchased. Every month (20 working days), ABC purchases 100 bundles of materials. Each bundle requires one (1) labor minute to process, and every labor hour costs an average of $14.00. Each week (5 working days), ABC pays $5,000 inoverhead costs, and equipment costs $600 a day to operate. (a). How many shipping bags does ABC produce in a standard month (20 working days)? Each workday (8 hours)? (b). What is the single-factor productivity for labor, per workday (8 hours)? Whatis the multi-factor productivity, for every dollar spent per shipping bag?
Q. Table 3 above shows how output varies with only one variable input used in production. If the cost of a unit of labor is $500, what is the approximate marginal cost of the 230th unit of output? a. $2.50 b. $8.50 c. $12.50 d. $50.00 e. $100.00
The cost formula for a company can be modeled by C=1092+40x+0.1x2C=1092+40x+0.1x2 where xx represents the number of items made. A formula for the company's income is modeled with R=108x−0.9x2R=108x-0.9x2, where xx is the number of items sold. A company will break even when its costs equal its income. How many items must a company make and then sell to break even? Answer: (If there are multiple answers, separate the answers with a comma.)
