Suppose Nicholas owns a business making Christmas tree ornaments. Currently, he makes 300 ornaments a month. At this level of pr

oduction, each additional ornament takes him 30 minutes to make and costs him $5 in materials. Nicholas makes his ornaments in a small studio that he rents for $300 a month. Nicholas can easily increase or decrease the amount of time he spends making ornaments, and he can easily go to the store to buy additional materials to make the ornaments, but he has a year-long lease on his studio, so he has to pay his monthly rent no matter how many ornaments he produces each month. Nicholas values his time at $10 per hour. Other than his time, the cost of the materials and the rent on his studio, Nicholas has no additional production costs.
a At Nicholas's current level of production, what is the marginal cost of making an additional ornament each month?
b. At Nicholas's current level of production, what is the monthly average fixed cost of each ornament?
c. Assuming that it is not Nicholas's interest to shut down, should he change his current monthly level of production if he can sell each ornament for $15? If so, how should his production change?

1. He should not make any changes.
2. He should decrease the number of ornaments he makes each month.
3. He should increase the number of ornaments he makes each month.

d. How would Nicholas’s profit-maximizing level of output each month differ if his monthly rent were $350 instead of $300?

1. His profit-maximizing level of output would be higher.
2. His profit-maximizing level of output would be lower.
3. His profit-maximizing level of output would not change.

e. How would Nicholas’s profit-maximizing level of output each month differ if the materials to make each ornament cost $4 instead of $5?

1. His profit-maximizing level of output would not change.
2. His profit-maximizing level of output would be lower.
3. His profit-maximizing level of output would be higher.

Solution and Explanation:

1. MC = Cost of raw materials + Labor cost

MC = 5 plus (10 divide by 2)

MC = $10

2.  TFC = $300

Q = 300,  AFC = TFC/Q = 300 divide by 300 = $1

3.  Nicholas's optimum output is likely to be greater

Rationale: P = MR = $15, MC = $10

With MR exceeding MC, increasing output is advisable until MR equals MC to maximize profits.

4.  His profit-maximizing output would likely increase

Reason: P = MR = $15, MC = $4 + $5 = $9

Since MR > MC, Nicholas should amplify his output until they are equated at the profit-maximizing point.

A group of young patrons come into the venue after a sports event. They are loud and excited, celebrating a win for their team.
marusya05 [3096]

Las respuestas correctas para estas preguntas abiertas son las siguientes.

A) ¿Cómo respondes a estos clientes? Emite una advertencia al grupo para asegurarte de que conozcan el comportamiento esperado en el establecimiento.

Podría decir algo así:

"Buenas noches, caballeros. Bienvenidos a nuestro lugar. Un placer atenderles. Me gustaría pedirles amablemente que eviten hacer demasiado ruido para respetar a los demás clientes en la sala."

B) Uno de los clientes se dirige al bar para pedir varias jarras de bebida alcohólica premezclada para el grupo. Niega el servicio al cliente y explica por qué servir alcohol de esta manera es irresponsable.

Podría decir algo como:

"Señor, con todo respeto debo informar que este lugar tiene la política de no servir alcohol a clientes que no pidan comida. Por lo que le pido que comprenda esta política."

C) El cliente no está satisfecho por haberse negado el servicio y te presiona para que sirvas las jarras de alcohol. Más amigos del cliente se acercan al bar y comienzan a hacer un escándalo, hablando en voz alta para que todos en el lugar puedan escuchar. D) ¿Cómo respondes a esto?

Podría decir algo como:

"Caballeros, por favor, no hay necesidad de comportarse así. Estoy siendo muy respetuoso y ofreciendo una explicación razonable. Nuevamente, les pido que se calmen, o me veré obligado a llamar a seguridad. No es necesario hacer más grande esta situación. Por favor, tranquilícense. Permítanme ofrecerles algunos cócteles especiales sin alcohol. Es un obsequio."

E) Después de pedir a algunos de los clientes que abandonen el lugar, otros del grupo comienzan a sentirse molestos. Se están volviendo más agresivos y no crees que puedes manejar la situación por ti mismo. ¿Cómo respondes a esto?

Sollicitaría la presencia de nuestro equipo de seguridad y al mismo tiempo llamaría a la policía para informarles sobre la situación. No lo haría solo porque yo manejaría el incidente. Anteriormente, como parte de nuestros sistemas y procedimientos, un miembro de mi equipo tomaría estas consideraciones y sabría qué hacer en una situación como esta, encargándose de contactar a seguridad, y si las cosas se complican, contactar a la policía.
