3. Given
| Quantity | ATC | TC | MC |
| 500 | 200 | 100,000 | - |
| 501 | 201 | 100,701 | 701 |
Additional one unit will cost $ 701 while the selling price is $ 650 that is less than the marginal cost hence the firm should not manufacture the additional 1 unit.
4. Difference between monopoly and perfect competition
| Perfect competition | Monopoly |
| Large number of sellers | Only one seller |
| Homogeneous product | Unique product |
| Firms are price taker. That is they cannot influence market price. | Firms are price maker. That is they can influence the market price of their product. |
| A number of substitutes are available. | No close substitutes are available. |
| Firms can enter and exit anytime from the industry. No barriers to enter or exit. | It is difficult to enter into this industry. Since, the firm has absolute control over resources. |
| Elasticity of the industries product is high. | Elasticity of this industries product is low. |
| Firms maximize profit at P=MC | Firms maximize profit at MR=MC |

A) Let us suppose your company has the option to produce a component in-house for $20 per units, but they would have to invest in the machineries which costs $100000. Alternatively, they could buy it from a third party, which is charging $38 per unit. What is the minimum quantity of components to make the investment in the machinery worthwhile? B) Let us suppose you could either produce tablets or phone the next quarter. Given a shortage in suppliers due...

Question 3: Make versus buy You make refrigerators. Currently, you manufacture compressors for your refrigerators in-house. An outside supplier has offered to sell you equivalent compressors at a wholesale price of $65 per unit. You need 1,000 compressors per month. The internal production costs per compressor are as follows: cost per unit direct materials $20 direct labor $20 variable overhead $20 total If you outsource the production of compressors (the buy option) in the short term, how will this choice...

Your CFO has supplied you with the following information. Current product standard costs are as follows: Selling price per unit: $5,000 $1,400/unit direct material $400/unit direct labor $200/unit variable overhead $200/unit fixed overhead (this figure is the result of the budgeted fixed overhead of $2,000,000 and budgeted sales volume of 10,000 units) Income Tax rate = 40% The board of directors has requested a thorough presentation to determine whether taking on this potential customer is a good idea. Assume that...

Assume you have developed and tested a prototype electronic product and are about to start your new business. You purchase preprogrammed computer chips at $70 per unit. Other component costs include plastic casings at $15 per unit and assembly hardware at $5 per unit. Direct labor costs are $15 per hour and three units can be produced per hour. You intend to sell each unit at a 50 percent markup over the total costs of producing each unit. The plan...

Q1 [30 points] Show in a diagram using isoquants that a production function can have diminishing marginal return to a factor and constant returns to scale? With the help of a diagram explain the concepts of "isoquant", "diminishing marginal return to a factor", and "constant returns to scale". What are the similarities and differences between indifference curves and isoquants. Q2 [30 points Assume that a firm has a fixed-proportions production function, in which one unit of output is produced using...

Suppose you are given the following production function
Q= 21x + 9x2-x3
Compose a table calculating the Total Product (Q), Marginal
Product (MP) and Average Product (AP), for x ranging from 0 to 9
units.
Using the information from the table, graph these individual
curves and identify the rate of which diminishing marginal returns
are evident. Delineate the stages of production and
explain why Stages I and III are considered as
irrational whereas Stage II is termed as rational. What...

With the help of your CFO, you have put together the following preliminary budget figures based on last year's numbers for a planned production and sales level of 4,000 units per year: Building depreciation $200,000/yr. Machine operators $100,000/yr. Management staff $400,000/yr. Direct materials $4,000,000/yr. Other expenses that seem to vary based on production levels $3,000,000/yr. Other expenses that don't seem to vary $1,300,000/yr. Selling price per unit $5,000/unit Utilities: This category is difficult to analyze; a part of it is...
