. Answer the following questions briefly, based on your understanding of the common shapes of cost curves.

Where will the marginal cost curve cross the average cost curve? Why?

Will the total cost curve tend to flatten out or to slope up more steeply on the right? Why?

Why are total costs and marginal costs not usually shown on the same graph together?

What are the underlying economic reasons that short-run average cost typically slope down then up?

Will average variable costs usually be above or below average cost? Or will it sometimes be on and sometimes the other? Explain.

Will the marginal cost curve tend to slope up or down? Why?

Why are average costs and fixed costs typically not shown on the same graph together?

How can you tell the level of fixed costs from looking at a total cost curve? What about the level of variable costs?

A manufacturing firm is planning to open a new factory. There are four countries under consideration: USA, Canada, Mexico, and Panama. The table below lists the fixed costs and variable costs for each site. The product is mainly sold in the U.S. for $995 per unit.

Location                          Fixed Cost      Variable cost

USA                  $500,000        $210

Mexico            $150,000        $250

Canada              $300,000        $230

Panama             $ 50,000         $300

a- Using cross-over analysis, find the range of production that makes each country optimal with lowest total cost.

b- Using Excel, construct total production cost linear graph for all 4 locations and verify cross-over points obtained in part (a). In your graph, use quantity values from 0 to 11,000 at increment of 200.

c- If the company forecasts that market demand will be around 9000 per year, which country

     is the best choice and what is the yearly profit?

d- Construct Total cost, Total revenue, and Total profit graphs for the optimal location.

Question 2

Alifulhubey company produced a single product called Killi and he provide you following 3 months cost data of the current year 2018.

It is assumed that Alifulhubey company variable cost per unit is constant up to a production level of 2,000 units per month but a step up of MVR 6,000 in the monthly total fixed cost occurs when production reaches 1,100 units per month.
