TC = 944.29 - 2.24Q
Explanation:
Using the above estimated total cost equation determine the average and marginal cost functions. Determine the output rate that will minimize average cost and the per-unit cost at that rate of output. The current market price of caps and hats per unit is Tk. 6.00 and is expected to remain at that level for the foreseeable future. Should the firm continue its production?
(b) Using the following cost data how would you estimate your short run supply curve. If there are 100 firms in the industry, would be the industry supply? [ Hint. Think about the relationship between MC and AVC and find the output supply of a single a firm]
