On January 1, 2017, James Airlines contracted with Sam Aircraft to construct an airplane to Jamess specifications at a cost of $2,500,000. During 2017, James paid Sam $400,000 on January 1, and another $450,000 on September 30. On January 1, 2017, James had borrowed $360,000 at 11% to partially finance the construction. The remaining amount was paid to Sam upon delivery of the airplane on June 30, 2018.
James has approximately $1,600,000 of additional debt outstanding at December 31, 2017 at an average interest cost of 12%. And at the end of December 2018, $ 345,000 of the construction loan and $1,500,000 of the additional debt was outstanding.
What is the total capitalized cost of the airplane under construction at the end of 2017?
What is the total capitalized cost of the completed airplane at the end of 2018?

Suppose a firm can sell its product for a price of $75 (no more, no less). Suppose that the marginal cost curve and average variable cost curves cross at $100 and a quantity of 10. Assume that fixed costs are $0. At a quantity of 10, total revenue would be: 750
At a quantity of 10, variable cost would be: ________ 0 or 1,000
Since fixed costs are $0, profit at 10 units of output would therefore be: ________ -250, 0 ,750
However, if the firm chose to produce nothing, total revenue would instead be: _________ 0, 750, 75
and variable cost would be: _______ 250, -750, 0
Therefore if the firm produces nothing profit would be -250 .
The BEST course of action for this firm would be to produce: ________Nothing because P < AVC or Produce 10 units of Output

A local microbrewery has total costs of production given by the equation C(Q) = 500 + 10Q + 5Q2. The market demand for beer is given by the equation Q = 105 – (1/2)P. The firm operates in a perfectly competitive market.
a. Write the equations showing the brewery's average total cost and average variable cost, average fixed cost, and marginal cost, each as a function of quantity (Q). b. What is the break-even price and break-even quantity for this firm in the short run? c. What is the shut-down price and shut-down quantity for this firm in the short run? d. If the market price of the output is $50, how many units will this firm produce? e. Given a market price of $50, how many firms are in this market?

2. A company's cost function is estimated as: C(Q) = 300 + 2Q + Q2 . If it produces 300 units per day, then what will be its: (a) average (total) cost? (b) average Variable cost, and (c) Marginal cost?

Assume that the market for Coca-Cola in your area is perfectly competitive, with Demand P = 9 ? 0.3Q D and Supply P = 2 + 0.1Q S . Each firm that sells Coca-Cola is identical, with Total Cost T C = 3 + Q 2 , which gives Marginal Cost MC = 2Q.
