6. Fred found that fine flowers grow faster with fertilizer. In one month, Fred can harvest between 1000 and 5000 flowers, depending on his fertilizer level. Fred sells flowers for $2 each (in 1000 flower lots) and his only major variable cost is fertilizer. Fred's fixed cost is $500. The table below shows the fertilizer needed to grow different amounts of flowers. Flowers per Month Fertilizer Bags 1000 0 2000 7 3000 11 4000 17 5000 25 A. If fertilizer costs $400/bag, how many bags should Fred buy, how many flowers will he sell, and how much profit would he make? B. If fertilizer costs $350/bag, how many bags should Fred buy, how many flowers will he sell, and how much profit would he make? C. If fertilizer costs $300/bag, how many bags should Fred buy, how many flowers will he sell, and how much profit would he make? D. If fertilizer costs $200/bag, how many bags should Fred buy, how many flowers will he sell, and how much profit would he make?

Need help with 4,5 & 6 4) Determine the cost of 1 gallon of gasoline. Calculate the labor cost equivalent of those 2 people to push a car 40 miles. (You have to make assumptions on how much you would have to pay someone per hour to push a car). How much cheaper is it to use a gallon of gasoline to move a car 40 miles down the road as opposed to paying 2 people to push the car 40 miles down the road. 5) How much energy (in Joules and in food calories) do you estimate it would take two people to push a car 40 miles down the road. (1 food calorie = 4,186 J) The basic metabolic rate for the human body is about 60 (food) calories per hour. A runner running 10 miles at 6 minutes per mile burns about 1000 food calories per hour. Estimate how many calories per hour a person pushing a car at walking speed would burn (remember there are 2 people pushing at the same time) 6) Assuming that the car was traveling at 45 miles per hour (a very efficient speed for a car).

Imagine that a pizzeria has a small pizza oven, "Oven 1". In the immediate future, they must use this oven in order to make pizzas. However, in one year's time, they have the option to upgrade to "Oven 2". The table below displays the average total cost of producing a given quantity of pizzas using each oven. | Number of Pizzas Oven 1 Average Total Cost Oven 2 Average Total Cost 100 200 $5 $4 $5 $6 $7 $7 $5.50 $4 $2.50 $4 300 400 500 In the short run, the average total cost of producing 200 pizzas is $ A In the long run, the average total cost of producing 200 pizzas is $ A . In the long run, it makes sense for this particular pizzeria to use Oven A if they plan on producing 200 pizzas.

Monique has a flock of six chickens in her backyard that she initially bought for $6 each. Theflock currently lays 20 eggs per week, which Monique and her family consume at home, andher current cost of feed is $2 per week. Monique has a job that pays $8/hour with flexiblehours, but she is thinking of selling her chickens’ eggs to earn extra income. To start sellingeggs, she would need to increase production to 30 eggs per week. She can do this by increasingthe chickens’ feed to $3 per week and taking an hour off work each week to devote to chickenrearing. If the market price of her farm-fresh eggs is $1 per egg, what would be Monique’sweekly economic profits from selling her chickens’ eggs? (Select one from below) (a) −$9: This is her revenue minus her accounting cost.(b) −$1: This is her revenue minus her production cost.(c) $0: Eggs are a constant-cost market so producers must earn 0 profits.(d) $1: This is her revenue minus her economic cost.(e) $7: This is her revenue minus her…
In recent years, the United States has experienced large increases in oil production due in large part to a new technology, hydraulic fracturing ("fracking"). Fracking involves injecting a mixture of water, sand, and chemicals into rock formations at high pressure to release oil and natural gas. An article in the Wall Street Journal indicates that economies of scale in fracking may be considerably smaller than in conventional oil drilling. If this view is cor- rect, what would the likely consequences be for the num- ber of firms drilling for oil in the United States?
