Marty used to be a bartender making $5,000 a year but he quit in order to become a clown that does shows at birthday parties. His clown car and costumes cost $7,000 and he did a lot of shows in the past year, making $13,000 in revenue but paying $2,000 in variable costs for balloons, gas, etc. Marty asked an accountant and an economist to calculate his profit. What did they report?
Your product's revenue per unit is $30, and product's cost per unit is $10. If the demand for next month is 200 units, and it costs $1000 one time to set up the machine, what is our profit (in dollars) for next month?
When total revenue is $4000, explicit cost is $700, and implicit cost is $500, then calculate the economic gain.

Suppose you are compensated $30 per customer, per ride. In other words, your marginal revenue is $30. Your costs for different customer loads are summarized in the following table. For each customer load, calculate both the marginal cost and the average cost. Then answer the question that follows. Note: Round your answers to the nearest cent.
