Project description
A firm currently uses 40,000 workers to produce 180,000 units of output per day. The daily wage per worker is $100, and the price of the firm’s output is $28. The cost of other variable inputs is $500,000 per day. (Note: Assume that output is constant at the level of 180,000 units per day.)

Assume that total fixed cost equals $1,200,000. Calculate the values for the following four formulas:

Total Variable Cost = (Number of Workers x Workers Daily Wage) + Other Variable Costs
Total Costs = Total Variable Costs + Total Fixed Costs
Total Revenue = Price * Quantity
Average Variable Cost = Total Variable Cost / Units of Output per Day
Average Total Cost = (Total Variable Cost + Total Fixed Cost) / Units of Output per Day
Complete the following:

Calculate the firms profit or loss. Is the firm making a profit or a loss?
Explain the Short Run Shut Down Rule. Should this firm shut down? Please explain.
Provide a report to the management of the firm that discusses what should be done.

Be sure to show your work to support the decision that you outline in your report.

Part 1:

Marianne and Joe were discussing what they are most afraid of; Joe explained that he was really afraid of spiders and dark places. He said that when he was a child, he had been playing hide-and-seek with his friends. Joe hid in the corner of his basement. It was dark, and he didn’t notice that he had stepped into a large spider web. When he felt something crawling on his neck, he screamed and ran out of the basement. Marianne asked Joe if he ever goes into basements now. He replied that he does, but he always makes sure a light is on and that he brings a broom in case he needs to knock down any spider webs.

• Based on Joe’s explanation of his fears, do they meet the criteria for a phobia? Explain your rationale for your decision based on the diagnostic criteria for phobias.
