Crawford Computing finds that its weekly profit, in dollars, from its production and sale of x laptop computers is P(x)=-.002x^3-.15x^2+400x-800 Currently, Crawford builds and sells 9 laptops weekly. (a) what is the current weekly profit? (b) how much profit would be lost if production and sales dropped to 8 laptops weekly? (c) what is the marginal profit with x=9? (d) use answers from parts (a) and (c) to estimate the profit resulting from the production and sale of 10 laptops weekly.
8. (a) At a health food manufacturing plant, it costs $20000 to produce 1500 cases of tofu, and $26000 to produce 2000 cases of tofu. Find this manufacturer's linear cost function based on this information. (Let r be the number of cases of tofu.) (b) Each case of tofu is then sold for $18. Find this manufacturer's revenue function. (c) Find this manufacturer's profit function and simplify it. (d) What is the break-even point for this business?
Suppose that the cost function for a commodity is C(x) = 40 + x2 dollars. (a) Find the marginal cost at x = 4 units. MC(4) = Tell what this predicts about the cost of producing 1 additional unit.

) A company manufacturing laundry sinks has fixed costs of $100 per day but has totalcosts of $2,500 per day when producing 15 sinks. The company has a daily demand functionof q = 360 − p, where q is the number if laundry sinks demanded and p is te price ofa laundry sink. Find a function for the average cost of this company. (c) If production increases continuously, what is likely to be the average cost per sink? (d) How many laundry sinks will the company need to produce in order to maximise it′s profits? (e) What is the maximum profit?
Consider an airline’s decision about whether to cancel a particular flight that hasn’t sold out. The following table provides data on the total cost of operating a 100-seat plane for various numbers of passengers. Number of Passengers Total Cost (Dollars per flight) 0 35,000 10 55,000 20 65,000 30 67,000 40 68,000 50 68,500 60 69,000 70 70,000 80 70,500 90 70,800 100 70,900 Given the information presented in the previous table, the fixed cost to operate this flight is ___. . At each ticket price, a different number of consumers will be willing to purchase tickets for this flight. Assume that the price of a flight is fixed for the duration of ticket sales.

3) A firm produces 50 000 boxes in one month and market price of these shoes is 10 TL per box. The total cost of the firm 400 000 TL and 20% of that cost is variable cost. Given that information a) Calculate the profit, ATC, AFC and AVC of that firm b) Suppose that market price is up to 11. The firm considers to increase its output to 55 000 when the price is 11 which however will lead to a total cost of 480 000. Should this firm increase its output and if so, why?
2. What is the relationship between the total cost curve, and the average cost per unit? Explain their relationship, and draw a diagram showing how the two are related. The total cost of production, in thousands of dollars, is C(q) = q³ 12q² + 60q, where q is in thousands and 0 ≤ q ≤ 8. (a) Graph C(q). Estimate visually the quantity at which average cost is minimized. (b) Determine analytically the exact value of q at which average cost is minimized.
