A firm in a Perfectly Competitive Market has the following short run cost function (/ equation / formula):

TC=200Q-6Q^2+Q3+400

a) Using the cost definitions you have learnt:

i. Determine which part of the equation above represents the total fixed cost, TFC.

ii. Determine which part of the equation above represents the total variable cost, TVC.

iii. Using the definition of AFC, determine the equation of average fixed cost.

iv. Using the definition of AVC, determine the equation of average variable cost.

b) Using the marginal cost function (/ equation / formula): MC=200-12Q+3Q^2, and the other

cost equations you obtained in part (a), fill in the table below

(NOTES: if a value is not a whole number, report it with two decimal points. You are allowed to

use a calculator to help with the calculations. If this question re-appears in your repeat

submissions in tutorials – you will be given a table with just 3 relevant rows).

c) Based on your data calculated in part (b), plot AVC, ATC and MC curves on one pair of axes – half

an A4 page. Identify any key points on your graph. (NOTE: You may use a computer to help know

the shape of each curve, but you have to hand-draw these curves in your assignment).

d) Assume that the current market price is $296. Determine the quantity produced by the firm and its

economic profit/loss. Reproduce the graph in part (c) and show the economic profit/loss on this

graph.

e) Now suppose that the market price falls to $200. How many units of the product should the firm

produce? Does it make an economic profit or loss? If it is a loss, would it shut down temporarily?

Explain.

f) Now assume that in the long run, the firm’s cost functions / equations / formulas are:

TC=200Q-6Q^2+Q3 and MC=200-12Q+3Q^2. Compare and contrast these equations to the

short run TC and MC equations in part (a) and part (b) and explain why they are similar or different.

g) Based on the long run equations in part (f) and based on the graph in part (c), what is the firm’s

minimum efficient scale and what is the range of output at which the firm is operating in economies

of scale.

h) In the long run if the market price is at $236, what is the firm’s level of output? Explain why.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Please read these directions and the “Art 100 Museum Paper Grading Rubric” (attached above) before visiting your museum of choice.

• Attached Visual Record: 5 points

Take a photo in front of the museum’s sign or other identifying marker; a scanned copy of a brochure, postcard front and back, or a ticket stub from the museum will also earn full credit.

• Format/Style: 10 points

Paper must be typed, double spaced, at least 3-4 pages in length, include a heading with name, date submitted and the course name and number (Intro to Art/ART 100).

• Grammar, spelling and sentence structure must be checked and not impede comprehension.

Titles of art works must be italicized or underlined (not in quotation marks!).

Sources must be cited properly, if used.

Content/body:

• Introduction: 10 points
• Include name of museum and date of visit.
• Identify a commonality or theme between the works (this could be a similar medium, subject matter, art period/movement, color or other formal element, etc.).
• THREE WORKS: 90 points (30 points per work-complete these steps for EACH work you include in your paper):
• Identify artist, title (in italics!), date of work and medium.
• Describe the content and/or subject matter (describe what you see when you look at the work).

  ( For example: ” Agnolo Bronzino’s Eleanor of Toledo from 1544 is an oil on wood portrait of a mother seated with her young son standing on her right side. The mother is wearing an elaborate dress with black and gold details. The child has blond hair and is wearing a dark blue jacket and is smiling slightly.)

• Identify a style or movement the work is associated with;  use your Preble’s textbook to place the work in its style category. Explain how it fits into this particular art movement.

  ( For example: ” Eleanor of Toledo was completed during the beginning of the Mannerist art movement, which took place in Italy beginning in the 1520s. This painting is characteristically Mannerist because the figures in the painting have exaggerated and elongated proportions-especially fingers-and are painted with rich colors used to imply texture.”)

• Identify 2-3 formal elements (define each formal element using your textbook; identify each formal element in the art work).

  ( For example: “The dress depicted in Bronzino’s Eleanor of Toledo demonstrates the artist’s use of texture. Texture is the perceived surface quality of an object. In the painting the fabric of the mother’s dress appears to be silk with velvet details and shiny pearl and gold beads…”)

• Conclusion: 15 points
• Give your personal reaction to the three works you chose (what you liked/did not like).
• Describe how this assignment expanded your appreciation of art.

Addresses Course Outcomes #1, #2, #3
•recognize the use of the scientific method to weigh evidence, make decisions, and solve problems
•apply knowledge of cellular and molecular processes to understand infectious disease mechanisms
•synthesize knowledge of microbial pathogenesis and disease prevention methods and communicate this knowledge to the community
This is a collaborative group case-study project that gives you the opportunity to engage in cooperative learning with your group members while applying what you have learned during the course to analyze and propose strategies to solve a current problem related to a bacterial or viral disease assigned by the instructor.
In this case study assignment you should be able to: demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively in a group; demonstrate the ability to access and interpret contemporary published research in the field of microbiology; effectively use information and library resources within the library; and evaluate sources of information and cite sources appropriately and accurately. This assignment addresses all three of the course outcomes.
You will be assigned to a working group (study group) with four to five of your classmates to work on a collaborative project related to one of the priority issues related to the bacterial or viral disease. The instructor will assign your group’s topic and provide some background information and questions as a guide to help your group get started. Your group will discuss the project and create a collaborative document (instructions will be provided).
There are a possible 100 points for the group project: 75 points for content of the final collaborative report and 25 points for your level of participation as determined by your interactions within Group area and your role on and contributions to the project.
The following criteria will be used when grading your report: the presentation of correct and accurate scientific information, the quality of synthesis and critical thinking, and the adherence to the requirements of the assignment.
Your collaborative report should be phrased and presented in your own words (no more than 5% of your report is to be directly quoted from your sources).
Your paper should include the following:
