Suppose Chef City manufactures cast iron skillets. One model is a 10-inch skillet that sells for $ 32. Chef City projects sales of 650 10-inch skillets per month. The production costs are $ 10 per skillet for direct materials, $ 3 per skillet for direct labor, and $ 4 per skillet for manufacturing overhead. Chef City has 40 10-inch skillets in inventory at the beginning of July but wants to have an ending inventory equal to 30% of the next month's sales. Selling and administrative expenses for this product line are $ 1 comma 600 per month. Chef City is budgeted to produce 805 skillets in July. Compute the total amount budgeted for product costs for July.

5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.
