Assume the market for watermelons is perfectly competitive. AAA Watermelon Company has fixed costs of $30, and total variable costs at $10 for one truckload of watermelons, $25 for two truckloads of watermelons, $45 for the three truckloads of watermelons, $70 for four truckloads of watermelons, $100 for five truckloads of watermelons, and $135 for six truckloads of watermelons.
Set out in a table, total cost, average cost, marginal cost for each output level (one to six units) for AAA Watermelon Company.
If the market price for a truck load of watermelons is $25, in one diagram sketch the demand curve for AAA Watermelon Company, its average cost curve, its marginal revenue curve, and its marginal cost curve.
What is the profit-maximizing quantity of output for AAA Watermelon Company? Is the market in long-run equilibrium? Why or why not?

Sanders Limited is considering whether to lease its equipment as an alternative to borrowing to purchase it. The equipment will cost $230,000. This amount can be borrowed from a local bank at 8.5% interest with annual payments amortized over 6 years. Payments would be at the end of the year. The CCA rate on this equipment would be 25%, and the expected salvage at the end of 6 years is $33,000. Alternatively, lease payments of $47,000 could be made each year for 6 years, with the first payment due immediately. Sanders’ cost of capital is 13%, and its tax rate is 32%.
