Answer #1

a) in order to maximize the profits, Ali should produce at point where Marginal Revenue is equal to Marginal Cost.

here price is not changing, so Ali should produce at price = MC

When P =MC = $84.70 per bushel, Ali will produce 4500 bushels in order to maximize his profits in short run.

b) Profits = Total Revenue - Total Costs

Total Revenue = Quanity sold*Price

                       =4500* 84.7 = $381,150

Total Costs = ATC*Quatity Sold

                  = 49.14*4500 = $221,130

Profits = 381150 - 221130 = $160,020

c) When Price is $22.7 per bushel, Ali will Choose 1500 bushels to produce. Reasoning behind this is similar to first question.

d) Profits = Total Revenue - Total Costs

Total Revenue = Quanity sold*Price

                       =1500* 22.7 = $34,050

Total Costs = ATC*Quatity Sold

                  = 28.03*1500 = $42,045

Profits = 34050 - 42045 = - $7,995

e) if the market price is $14.7 per bushel, then Ali will choose to produce 1000 bushels. Reasoning is similar to part a)
