Scenario 14-2 Assume a certain firm is producing Q = 1,000 units of output. At Q = 1,000, the firms marginal cost equals $15 and its average total cost equals $11. The firm sells its output for $12 per unit. Refer to Scenario 14-2. At Q = 1,000, the firms profit amounts to Select one: a. O b. O c. O d. $1,000. $-200. $4,000. $3,000.

Automobile manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale. Suppose there are four domestic auto manufacturers, but the demand for domestic autos is no more than 2.5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve. What do you expect will happen to the domestic auto industry in the long run?
Return to Figure 7.7. What is the marginal gain in output from increasing the number of batters from 4 to 5 and from 5 to 6? Does it continue the pattern of diminishing marginal returns? Figure 7.7 How output Affects Total costs
Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?
How would an improvement in technology, like the high-efficiency gas turbines or Pirelli tire plant, affect me lung-nm average cost curve of a firm? Can you draw the old curve and the new one on the same axes? How might such an improvement affect other firms in the industry?
How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
What is the relationship between marginal product and marginal cost? (Hint: Look at the curves.) Why do you suppose that is? Is this relationship the same in the long run as in the short run?
Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?
A firm has a fixed production cost of $20,000 and a constant marginal cost of production of $1,000 per unit produced. What is the firm's total cost function? O A. TC = 20,000 + (1,000q). ОВ. ТС-1,000g. O C. TC = 20,000. OD. 20,000 + (1,000q) TC =-
See Hint Suppose you are the owner of a firm producing jelly beans. Your production costs are shown in the table. Jelly Bean Production Вохes Average cost per box 100 $0.95 101 $0.96 102 $0.97 $0.98 103 Initially, you produce 100 boxes of jelly beans per time period. Thena new customer calls and places an additional order for jelly beans, requiring you to increase your output to 101 boxes. She offers you $1.75 for the additional box. Should you produce it? Choose one: O. A Yes, because $1.75 is greater than average total cost, O B. No, because $1.75 is less than average total cost. O C. Yes, because $1.75 is greater than the marginal cost. O D. No, because $1.75 is less than the marginal cost. 9 E. We can't say because we don't know average variable cost.
