  1. The table below shows part of the cost structure (total fixed cost, total variable cost, and total cost) for a typical producer of olive oil -- a perfectly competitive industry.

  1. Copy the table into Excel and use it to calculate average total cost and marginal cost for all quantities from 1 to 10. Use Excel (following the hints in QSet 2, #9) to produce a diagram of the firm’s average total cost and marginal cost curves.

  1. If the price of oil is $10 a bottle, approximately what quantity will this producer make? (You will get credit for answering anywhere within 0.2 units of the correct answer.)

Given:

Verizon

Total cost = $23 billion

Opportunity cost of capital = 10%

Annual cost = $2.3 billion

Expected demand = q = 2,100,000 – 6P

AT&T

Total cost = $4.6 billion

Opportunity cost of capital = 10%

Annual cost = $460 million

Expected demand = q = 425,000 – 60P

1. Calculate the expected annual profit that Verizon will earn if they price at service at $30/month, $60/month or $100/month. At which price do they maximize profit?

2. Calculate the expected annual profit that AT&T will earn if they price at service at $30/month, $60/month or $100/month. At which price do they maximize profit
