Assume that the market price per kilogram of beet pulp is $0.3 and many relatively identical farms produce beets. The typical farm has a minimum average variable cost of $0.26 and a minimum average total cost of $0.31. Should it shut down given the current price? Why? Now assume that this farm's average variable and total costs increase by $0.06 for each level of output, while the other farms' costs remain the same as before. What should the farm do now? Why?

- a) Suppose in the short-run, the amount of machines she has is fixed at 27. How many mixers should she use? How many baklavas will she produce? How much profit will she make? Using an isoprofit line, as well as the production function, draw a diagram of your solution and label all the intercept and slopes b) In the long-run, how many mixers should she use? How many machines? How many baklavas will she make? c) Suppose that the government decides to provide a $1 subsidy per mixer. What is the profit-maximizing amount of each input to use now?Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $30, the second by $ 27, the third by $24, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $3. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $9.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and…Suppose that a paper mill “feeds” a downstream box mill.

- Tim Marlow, the owner of The Clock Works, wanted to know how many clocks he must sell in order to cover his fixed cost at a given price. Tim knew that he had a fixed cost of $20,000 for equipment, taxes, and a bank loan. He also had a unit variable cost of $20 per clock for labor, materials, and promotional costs. If the price Tim charges for each of his clocks is $40, what is his break-even point quantity?The following is a table of the total cost (TC) of producing output Q for a particular firm.
