Production and Perfect Competition ECON220 The firm currently uses 50‚000 workers to produce 200‚000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $80‚ and the price of the firm’s output is $25. The cost of other variable inputs is $400‚000 per day. Assume that total fixed cost equals $1‚000‚000. Calculate the values for the following four formulas: • Total Variable Cost = (Number of Workers * Worker’s Daily Wage) + Other Variable Costs • Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost

The player can only hit the ball with a golf club. Golf equipment‚ such as golf clubs‚ golf balls‚ and the like

Perfect Competition of Wheat Crops and Variable Cost Basic theme Farmers gamble on deciding what crop to grow from year to year because variable costs can make it difficult for a farmer to break even and make profit. Critical Review Farmers who decided to grow wheat crops in winter are predicted to see profit this spring based on the estimated costs. Farmers have to almost blindly decide on which crop might be most profitable for them to grow because their total variable costs are always changing
