Question

you are given the following data for your firm, which sells high-capacity video MP3 players.

1a)Which of the following represents the correct formulas for PP and MRMR in terms of QDQD?

Select one:

a. P=20+1000QDP=20+1000QD ; MR=40+1000QDMR=40+1000QD

b. P=100020QDP=100020QD ; MR=100040QDMR=100040QD

c. P=100010QDP=100010QD ; MR=1000QD20QD2MR=1000QD20QD2

d. P=500.05QDP=500.05QD ; MR=500.1QDMR=500.1QD

1b)Which of the following equations is correct, based on the data above?

Select one:

a. ATC=Q23Q+536+1500QATC=Q23Q+536+1500Q

b. MC=0.5Q21.5Q+268MC=0.5Q21.5Q+268

c. AVC=Q33Q2+536Q+1500QAVC=Q33Q2+536Q+1500Q

d. AVC=Q29Q+536Q+1500

Explanation / Answer

P at q = 0 is 1000 that means intercept of demand equation is 1000

At q =2, p = 1000 - bq

960 = 1000 - 2b

2b = 1000-960

B = 40/2 = 20

P = 1000 - 20q

Tr = p*q = 1000q - 20q^2

Mr = dTR / dQ

MR = 1000 - 40q

Answer is b.

Fc = tc at q =0, is 1500

TC = FC + VC

At q = 2, 2568 = 1500 + 2vc

2Vc = 2568-1500 = 1068

Vc= 1068/2 = 534

Tc = 1500 + 534q
