The group decides to raise money by selling t-shirts at a table on campus. It costs them $560 to stock 200 t-shirts and $420 to stock 100 t-shirts. They decide to charge $5 for every t-shirt they sell.
(I) Marginal cost = Change in TC / Change in Q = $(560 - 420) / (200 - 100) = $140/100 = $1.4
(II) TC = F + v x Q where F: Fixed cost, v: AVC
420 = F + 100v........(1)
560 = F + 200v........(2)
(2) - (1) gives
100v = 140
v = 1.4 (= MC)
F = 420 - 100v = 420 - 140 = 390
(III) TC = 390 + 1.4Q
(IV) TR = P x Q = 5Q
(V) In break-even TR = TC
390 + 1.4Q = 5Q
3.6Q = 390
Q = 108.33
(VI) Profit = TR - TC = 5Q - 390 - 1.4Q = 3.6Q - 390
(VII) When Q = 400, Profit = (3.6 x 400) - 390 = 1440 - 390 = 1050
