What is the relationship between the returns to production scale and the behavior of the total costs? C: Write down the formulas and draw the graphs of the average cost and marginal cost functions, as functions of y.A competitive firm uses two variable factors to produce its output, with a production function y = min{ x1, x2 }.The price of x1 is w1 = $8 and the price of x2 is w2 = $5. Due to a lack of warehouse space, the company cannot use more than 10 units of x1. The firm must pay a fixed cost of $80 if it produces any positive amount but doesn't have to pay this cost if it produces no output. What is the smallest integer price that would make a firm willing to produce a positive amount? please solve asap?A competitive firm uses two variable factors to produce its output, with a production function y = min{ x1, x2 }.The price of x1 is w1 = $8 and the price of x2 is w2 = $5.
