Find the marginal cost for Sam's shoes 2. Find the Marginal Product for Sam's shoes 3. Find the total revenue and marginal revenue if the price Sam sells each shoe for is $15.00 4. What is the profit maximizing quantity of shoes that Sam will produce? 5. Is Sam's shoes operating in a perfectly competitive industry or monopolistic industry, and how do you know this?

Step 1
To find the marginal cost, we need to calculate the change in total costs divided by the change in quantity. Marginal Cost = (Total Costs at Quantity n - Total Costs at Quantity n-1) / (Quantity n - Quantity n-1) For example, to find the marginal cost between Show more…

Production costs for manufacturing running shoes consist of a fixed overhead of $$ 650,000$ plus variable costs of $$ 20 per pair of shoes. Each pair of shoes sells for $$ 70 .$ (a) Find the total cost, $C(q),$ the total revenue, $R(q)$ and the total profit, $\pi(q),$ as a function of the number of pairs of shoes produced, $q$ (b) Find the marginal cost, marginal revenue, and marginal profit. (c) How many pairs of shoes must be produced and sold for the company to make a profit?

MR= What is the marginal cost when quantity is 15? MC= If this firm is a monopoly, at what quantity will marginal profit be $0.00? Quantity= If this is a perfectly competitive market, which quantity will be produced? Quantity=
