Using the axes as constructed below, depict marginal revenue and marginal cost curves that would support the conclusion that the optimal short run output is q = 1000. Be sure to label all important values. upload graph. Question 1B

Is this a short run equilibrium? Explain.

Question 2A

Reproduce your graph from Question 1, but add an average total cost curve to the picture in such a way that the firm is earning zero profits (π = 0).
Upload your graph.
Question 2B

Does your graph in Question 2A depict a short run equilibrium? If so, explain why. If not, explain why not.

Question 3A

Again, reproduce your graph from Question 1. For this question, depict a different ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits (π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determine whether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
Upload your graph.

Question 3B

Should the firm produce Q = 1000 in the short run or should it shutdown, producing Q = 0?

Sweeten company had no jobs in progress at the beginning of march and no beginning inventories. the company has two manufacturing departments--molding and fabrication. it started, completed, and sold only two jobs during march—job p and job q. the following additional information is available for the company as a whole and for jobs p and q (all data and questions relate to the month of march): molding fabrication total estimated total machine-hours used 2,500 1,500 4,000 estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead $ 10,000 $ 15,000 $ 25,000 estimated variable manufacturing overhead per machine-hour $ 1.40 $ 2.20 job p job q direct materials $ 13,000 $ 8,000 direct labor cost $ 21,000 $ 7,500 actual machine-hours used: molding 1,700 800 fabrication 600 900 total 2,300 1,700 sweeten company had no underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead costs during the month. required: for questions 1-8, assume that sweeten company uses a plantwide predetermined overhead rate with machine-hours as the allocation base. for questions 9-15, assume that the company uses departmental predetermined overhead rates with machine-hours as the allocation base in both departments. 1. what was the company’s plantwide predetermined overhead rate? (round your answer to 2 decimal places.) next

Performance bicycle company makes steel and titanium handle bars for bicycles. it requires approximately 1 hour of labor to make one handle bar of either type. during the most recent accounting period, barr company made 7,700 steel bars and 2,300 titanium bars. setup costs amounted to $35,000. one batch of each type of bar was run each month. if a single company-wide overhead rate based on direct labor hours is used to allocate overhead costs to the two products, the amount of setup cost assigned to the steel bars will be:
