The residents of cities A, B, C, D and E consume wi-fi routers, with consumption in each city is 150 routers (see the map below). The firm that produces routers must decide how to set-up production. It could set up five factories, dispersed across each city, with each factory producing 150 routers and supplying to its own local city market. In this case, the firm incurs no cost for shipping output. Alternatively, the firm could locate its factory at centrally located city C, and supply routers to the entire region. The single factory in city C must then produce 750 routers, 600 of which are shipped to the cities A, B, D and E for a shipping cost of $6 per router.
A E
C
B D
(a) Suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC (Q) = 1500/Q, where Q is the number of routers produced in a factory. Calculate AC with Q = 150 and Q = 750, respectively. Note and explain how this production process exhibit economies of scale.
(b) Based on the AC function from part (a), find the optimal arrangement of production for the firm (one central factory or five dispersed factories). The optimal arrangement minimizes total cost for the firm, where total cost is the sum of production cost and shipping cost. Clearly write down all your calculations.
(c) Now suppose the average cost of producing a router is AC = 14000/(Q+1250). Now, repeat the calculation of AC with Q = 150 and Q = 750.
(d) Based on the AC function from part (c), now repeat your calculations to find the cost-minimizing arrangement of production in the case. (e) Explain intuitively the difference is results between responses to part (b) and (d).
(f) Suppose now production costs are those given in part (a) but let shipping cost per router be given by t (in the preceding discussion, we had t = 6, now we assume we don’t know the cost of shipping). What value of t would make the two arrangements for production (centralized versus separate factories) equivalent in terms of cost? i.e. what value of t would make the firm indifferent between a centralized versus a dispersed set-up?

Rounding Rules: Unless instructed otherwise compute hourly rate and overtime rates as follows:
Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate).
If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent.
If the third decimal place is less than 5, drop the third decimal place.
Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow.
