Costs Practice

1. $15 (total cost of $450 divided by the 30 rugs)

2. $1350 (P x Q = $45 x 30 rugs)

3. $450 (mentioned in passage)

4. $2025 (P x Q = $45 x 45 rugs, which is the production he desires)

5. $675 ($15, the cost of each rug, x 45, the number of rugs)

6. $15 (MC = change TC divided by change Q = $225 divided by 15)

7. $45 (MR = change TR divided by change Q = $675 divided by 15)

8. $525
    - $15 (marginal cost) x 15 rugs = 225
    - $20 (charged by ad agency for each rug sold) x 15 rugs = 300
    - total of $525

9.  $675 (P x Q = $45 x 15 rugs)

10.  Yes. TR > TC and profit of $150 will be made)
