Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit. The output level corresponding to a marginal cost of $7 per unit is 1,000 units. At 1,000 units, its average variable costs equal $8 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $1 per unit. The firm's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output level = . Write number only. The firm's economic profit (or loss) at this output level = . Write either profit number or loss number: e.g. profit 2000.

A perfectly competitive firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC on the rising portion of the firm’s marginal cost curve. At that output level, it has the following costs and revenues: TC = $830,000 VC = $525,000 TR = $428,000 At that optimal level of output, what profit (loss) does the firm earn?

If this firm chooses to produce no output in the short run, what must the market price be? A-Below $20 $21-$30 $31-$40 $41-$50 Above $50 7. firm's implicit costs are $10,000, explicit costs are $5,000, and its total revenue is $10,000.
