Total cost = 200+500+100+60+20 = 880
ATC = TC/Q = 880/352 = 2.5
MC = 2
As ATC is above MC
so, when she increases her output, then her average total cost will decrease
Suppose Elouise runs a hamburger joint. She sells 352 hamburgers per day. Here are her daily...

Suppose Janet is currently using combination D, producing one boat per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a second boat per day is 3 balls per day Now, suppose Janet is currently using combination C, producing two boats per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a third boat per day is 6 balls per day. From the previous analysis, you can determine that as Janet increases her production of boats, her opportunity cost of producing one more boat Suppose Janet...
2. Inputs and outputs Poornima's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Denver that sells gluten-free pizzas. Poornima's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Poornima signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Poornima's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Poornima cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas...
Polly owns a monopoly in her small town. She knows that the market demand curve for her product is given by the following equation where P is the price per unit of the good and Q is the number of units of the good: Market Demand: P = 330 – 2Q. Polly also knows the following cost structure: Average Total Cost: ATC=10 Marginal Cost: MC=10 11) What is the profit maximizing quantity and price for Polly given the above information?...
In a widget factory, the producer is able to produce 40 widgets per day when she hires two workers. The producer is able to produce 70 widgets per day when she hires three workers. If diminishing marginal product occurs with the fourth worker then the producer is able to produce less than 100 widgets per day when she hires four workers. True False In the short run total costs include both fixed costs and variable costs. Rent paid on the...
Poornima is a skilled toy maker who is able to produce both trains and balls. She has 8 hours a day to produce toys. The following table shows the daily output resulting from various possible combinations of her time. On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Poornima's initial production possibilities frontier (PPF). Suppose Poornima is currently using combination D, producing one train per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a second train per day is _______ per...

The following table shows the daily output resulting from various possible combinations of her time. On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Lucia's initial production possibilities frontier (PPF). Suppose Lucia is currently using combination D, producing one truck per day. Her opportunity cost of producing a second truck per day is _______ per...
Kyoko's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in Dallas that sells gluten-free pizzas. Kyoko's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Kyoko signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Kyoko's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Kyoko cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short...
