(a) How would one estimate the full cost to an airline if one of its planes is held over for 24 hours in an airport for repair?
(b) A company has spent $10 million to develop a product for market. During the product’s first two years, the company’s profit was $6 million. In recent years, the market was flooded by rival products and now the company is reassessing its product. If it abandons the product, it can recover $2 million of its original investment by selling its production facility. If it continues to produce the product, its estimated revenues for successive two-year periods will be $5 million and $3 million and its costs will be $4 million and $2.5 million. (After four years the plant will have zero resale value.) What would be the company’s best course of action?
(c) Two decades ago, the global demand and supply curves for copper were: Qd = 15-10P and Qs = -3 + 14P, where Q is measured in millions of metric tons per year. Find the competitive price and quantity. Suppose that…
True/False
Marginal cost is the addition to the total cost when more unit of output is being produced.
A company that produces cleaning products is considering a proposal to begin production of a new detergent that would cost $1 a bottle to make and distribute, and retail for $2.19 a bottle. Fixed cost for the operation would be $3000 a week. Assume that all output can be sold.
(a) What would be the total cost, revenue and profit for a weeklyvolume of 10,000 bottles?
