Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. The number of pairs of ear buds that should be produced for maximizing the profits is

As we know that

MR = MC

Q =  35

And also the price is equal to the MC

Hence, the quantity that should be produced would be 35

b). The total cost of producing ear buds for maximizing the profit is

As we know that

TC = ATC × Q

= 4.5 × 35

= $157.5

c. The weekly profit is

As we know that

Profit = TR - TC

= (P - ATC) × Q

= (6 - 4.5) × 35

= $52.5

d) The weekly profit is  

Profit= (5.5 - 4.25) × 30

= $37.5

e. The normal profit could be earned at the time when the marginal cost is equivalent to the average cost that contains the minimum

Hence, the option a is correct

Core ideology is the  glue that holds an organization together when it undergoes the process of growth , decentralization, diversification and expansion

Core Ideology typically means the Vision,Mission & Values of an organization. The ideology acts as a source of communication to stakeholders (i.e. from employees to investors  about what the company will stick to and  the guidelines to which it will adhere in the future.)
