Suppose that the monthly market demand schedule for Frisbees is
| Price | $8 | $7 | $6 | $5 | $4 | $3 | $2 | $1 |
| Quantity Demanded | 1000 | 2000 | 4000 | 8000 | 16000 | 32000 | 64000 | 150000 |
Suppose further that the marginal and average costs of Frisbee production for every competitive firm are
| Rate of Output | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 |
| Marginal Cost | $2 | $3 | $4 | $5 | $6 | $7 |
| Average Total Cost | $2 | $2.5 | $3 | $3.5 | $4 | $4.5 |
Finally, assume that the equilibrium market price is $6 per Frisbee.
Draw the cost curves of the typical firm and identify its profit-maximizing rate of output and its total profits.
Draw the market demand curve and identify market equilibrium.
How many Frisbees are being sold in equilibrium?
How many (identical) firms are initially producing Frisbees?
How much profit is the typical firm making?
In view of the profits being made, more firms will want to get into Frisbee production. In the long run, these new firms will shift the market supply curve to the right and push the price down to average total cost, thereby eliminating profits. At what equilibrium price are all profits eliminated? How many firms will be producing Frisbees at this price?

Kramer Company makes 4,600 units per year of a part called an axial tap for use in one of its products. Data concerning the unit production costs of the axial tap follow: |
| Direct materials | $ | 41 | ||
| Direct labor | 16 | |||
| Variable manufacturing overhead | 14 | |||
| Fixed manufacturing overhead | 20 | |||
| Total manufacturing cost per unit | $ | 91 | ||
|
An outside supplier has offered to sell Kramer Company all of the axial taps it requires. If Kramer Company decided to discontinue making the axial taps, 40% of the above fixed manufacturing overhead costs could be avoided. Assume that direct labor is a variable cost. |
| Required: |
| a1. |
Assume Kramer Company has no alternative use for the facilities presently devoted to production of the axial taps. If the outside supplier offers to sell the axial taps for $89 each, calculate the total cost for making the axial taps. |
| Total cost | $ |
| a2. | Should Kramer Company accept the offer? | ||||

| b. |
Assume that Kramer Company could use the facilities presently devoted to production of the axial taps to expand production of another product that would yield an additional contribution margin of $92,000 annually.
