1. d
At Q = 100,000:
TC = 100,000*50 = 5,000,000
TVC = 100,000*20 = 2,000,000
TFC = 5,000,000-2,000,000 = 3,000,000
At Q = 120,000:
TVC = 120,000*20 = 2,400,000
TFC = 3,000,000
TC = 2,400,000+3,000,000 = 5,400,000
ATC = 5,400,000/120,000 = $45
With a 50% markup, P = 150%($45) = $67.50
2. b
Currently:
TR = PQ = 400*40,000 = 16,000,000
TFC = ...
