1. Your roommate's long hours in chem lab finally paid off--she discovered a secret formula that lets people do an hour's worth

of studying in 5 minutes. So far, she's sold 200 doses and faces the following average-total-cost schedule:
Q = 199 & ATC = $199 Q = 200 & ATC = 200 Q = 201 & ATC = 201 If a new customer offers to pay your roommate $300 for one dose, should she make one more? Explain.
Would the answer be yes because to produce one more would cost $202 which is less than the $300 the customer is willing to pay.
3. You go out to the best restaurant in town and order a lobster, you realize that you are quite full. Your date wants you to finish your dinner because you can't take it home and because "you've already paid for it" What should you do?
Isn't because I am full that the remaining amount of lobster is a sunk cost. So it is best to let it go and not eat it.
10. An industry currently has 100 firms, all of which have fixed cost of $16 and average variable cost as follows:
Quantity / Average variable cost: (1/$1),(2,$2), (3,$3), (4,$4), (5,$5), and (6,$6)
As this market makes the transition to its long-run equilibrium, will the price rise or fall? Will the quantity demanded rise or fall? Will the quantity supplied by each firm rise or fall?
1) She should produce whenever Marginal Revenue > Marginal cost. MR=300. What is Marginal Cost?
if Q=199 and ATC=199 then Total Cost TC = 199*199=39601.
When Q=200,ATC=200 then TC = 40000, Thus MC=40000-39601 = 399.
When Q=201,ATC=201 then TC=40401. Thus MC=401. Now, what do you think the roomate should do? 3) I agree with your answer. 10) Good problem. First construct a marginal cost curve for a firm. (Same procedure as in 1 above).
Next, determine the break-even point for your firm. That is, at what price will the firm have zero net profits.
By my calculations, firms break even at P=$8. At P=8, each of the firms will produce 4 units. So, total revenue = 4*8=32. AVC=4*4=16 and fixed costs=16.
Your question says nothing about the current (short-run) price. So, lets assume. If Price < $8, then firms will be in a loss situation. Some will drop out, shifting the supply curve inward. Quantity demanded will fall, price will rise (to $8).
If Price > $8 then firms will enjoy an economic profit. More firms will enter (assuming they have the same cost structures). Supply shifts out, Price goes down, quantity demanded goes up, each firm's output will either fall are stay the same.

It depends on the particular situation if she sells it for $300 she gains for that one sale. But if that person can reproduce the formula and sell it herself then she should not do it. if she can't reproduce it and sell it herself then yes tell it to the room mate for $300. and why are you spending so much on Advertising I would definitely cut back on my advertising costs and find different Avenues there's no way you should be paying the same price on a product that cost you $200 to make and you spent $200 to advertise know your product is $400 with no profit for you yet. it would be much better to sell a product and gain more profit in spending so much money on Advertising. There are so many ways to advertise over social media Google tweeter Yelp that will help you a great deal and they do not cost a lot at all Google my business is only $300 a year or 350 A year and Facebook business class nothing unless you want to put more advertising in it which is very inexpensive Yelp is very good a small campaign is 350 a month and they will give you all the graphs to Target your advertising

What is your ownership in a stock represented by
vitfil [10]

Answer:

A stock (also known as equity) is a security that represents the ownership of a fraction of a corporation. This entitles the owner of the stock to a proportion of the corporation's assets and profits equal to how much stock they own. Units of stock are called "shares."

Stocks are bought and sold predominantly on stock exchanges (though there can be private sales as well) and are the foundation of many individual investors' portfolios. These transactions have to conform to government regulations that are meant to protect investors from fraudulent practices. Historically, they have outperformed most other investments over the long run. These investments can be purchased from most online stockbrokers
