How does fixed cost affect marginal cost? Why is this relationship important?
Do you think that the taxicab industry in large cities would be subject to significant economies of scale? Why or why not?
Average cost curves (except for avenge fixed cost) tend to be U-shaped, decreasing and then increasing. Marginal cost curves have the same shape, though this may be harder to see since most of the marginal cost curve is increasing. Why do you think that average and marginal cost curves have the same general shape?

A local company is planning to manufacture and market a four-slice toaster. For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. e) Determinethe Marginal costand interpret the…

For a firm with a Total Cost function TC C(Q), recall that the definitions of Marginal Cost (MC) and AverageTotal Cost (ATC) are given as follows:Marginal Cost (MC) = C'(0)Average Total Cost (ATC) = C(Q)/QProve that the marginal cost is equal to the average total cost (MC = ATC) when the average total cost is at itsminimum value.(Hint: By using the definition of average cost function, find the quantity that minimizes it by applying unconstraint optimization.Show that the FOC of the minimization problem implies that MC=ATC has to be satisfied at the minimum level of average cost.)
