To solve the problem, we need to determine the average variable cost (AVC) when 200 hamburgers are sold, given the information about costs and quantities.

Given Information:
  1. Minimum average variable cost (AVC) is $10 at a quantity of 100 hamburgers.
  2. Total cost (TC) is $15 at a quantity of 200 hamburgers.
  3. Total fixed cost (TFC) is $300.
Steps to Solve:

  1. Understand the Cost Components:

    • Total Cost (TC) = Total Fixed Cost (TFC) + Total Variable Cost (TVC)
    • Average Total Cost (ATC) = TC / Quantity
    • Average Variable Cost (AVC) = TVC / Quantity

  2. Calculate Total Variable Cost (TVC) at 200 hamburgers:

    • Given TC at 200 hamburgers is $15, and TFC is $300.
    • TC = TFC + TVC
    • $15 = $300 + TVC
    • TVC = $15 - $300 = -$285 (This calculation seems incorrect due to a misunderstanding of the given TC value. Let's assume the TC value is meant to be $15 per hamburger, not total.)

  3. Re-evaluate the Total Cost:

    • If TC per hamburger is $15, then for 200 hamburgers, TC = 200 * $15 = $3000.

  4. Calculate TVC:

    • TC = TFC + TVC
    • $3000 = $300 + TVC
    • TVC = $3000 - $300 = $2700

  5. Calculate AVC at 200 hamburgers:

    • AVC = TVC / Quantity
    • AVC = $2700 / 200 = $13.5
Conclusion:

The average variable cost (AVC) when 200 hamburgers are sold is $13.5.

This calculation aligns with the correct answer provided in the question.

EXAMPLE 2 Find the extreme values of the function f(x, y)=2 x^2+5 y^2 on the circle x^2+y^2=1. SOLUTION We are asked for extreme values of f subject to the constraint g(x, y)=x^2+y^2=1. Using Lagrange multipliers, we solve the equations ∇f=λ ∇g and g(x, y)=1, which can be written as fx=λ gx fy=λ gy g(x, y)=1 or as (1) (2) =2 y λ (3) x^2+y^2=1. From (1) we have x= or λ=2. If x= , then (3) gives y= ± 1. If λ=2, then y= from (2), so then (3) gives x= ± 1. Therefore f has possible extreme values at the points (0,1),(0,-1),(1,0), and (-1,0). Evaluating f at these four points, we find that f(0,1) = f(0,-1) =5 f(1,0) = f(-1,0) =2 Therefore the maximum value of f on the circle x^2+y^2=1 is f(0, ± 1)= f( ± 1,0)=

When the demand for smartphones increased in Preteresia, a country in Eastern Europe, the smartphone manufacturers started importing silicon, a raw material used in the manufacture of smartphones, from Abresia, a country in Africa. In return, Preteresia helped build Abresia's infrastructure to facilitate the efficient extraction of silicon.

Question 7 2 pts Jack Knighton is an employee of PRG Consulting. He has been called for jury duty. One of PRG's clients is Renar Corporation. Renar is the defendant in the case for which Jack has been called for the jury panel. The attorney for the plaintiff who is suing Renar: could have Jack struck from the panel for cause. cannot have Jack struck just because his company has the defendant as a client. none of these answers has no recourse because the jury is a wild card in litigation.
