Readers Questions II

You are welcome to ask questions on Economics.

I will post the answer on this blog, for everyone to benefit from.

I shall try to answer the economics question and / or point to other resources but please bear in mind.

  1. The replies will be guidance and not for duplication. Your essays should always be your own work.
  2. My speciality is economics for British A Level standard. My university economics is rusty in parts, because generally I don’t use it in teaching A level economics.
  3. I can’t guarantee to always give full answers it also depends on my time schedule.
  4. The answers will not necessarily be complete. I know several of my essays on this site could be improved.
  5. I will answer as a new post. Check home page of blog for new post. With question and answers
  6. If you leave your email in the comments, I can try and let you know (email will not be published)

I studied PPE at Lady Margaret Hall college, Oxford University, and currently work as an Economics A Level teacher. I have also examined several different economic units for Edexcel AS and A2.

If you find the information useful, you are welcome to buy me a coffee.

    You are the CEO of Comchip, a firm that sells specialized computers. Each of the firm’s computers contain a unique chip that is produced at Comchip’s west coast plant at a cost of Cw(Qc)=Qc^2 Once produced, the chips are shipped exclusively to the firm’s east coast plant. There, the computers are assembled, boxed, and shipped to the market at a cost of Ce(Q)= 200Q An economic consultant recently estimated the demand for Comchip’s computers and found it to be P= 5,000 – Q.

    a. Determine Comchip’s optimal output and price for computers. [6 marks]
    b. Explain how Compchip can induce plant managers to produce the required number of chips and computers. [4 marks]
    (Note: W = west coast plant; E = east coast plant; QC = output of West Coast plant; and Q = output of East Coast plant.)
