- . A firm in a perfectly competitive industry currently faces a market price of $20 and is maximizing profit by producing 500 units of output at this price. The firm’s total costs are $14,000, of which $5,000 are fixed costs. a) How much profit is the firm making? (Show how you determine this.) b) Should the firm continue to produce in the short run? Explain fully. c) Should the firm continue to produce in the long run? Explain clearly WHY the long run decision may be different than the short run decision, assuming the firm expects no changes in demand conditions.The profit-maximizing quantity is the one at which the marginal revenue of the last unit was: O greater than the marginal cost. O less than the marginal cost. O equal to the marginal cost. O zero.Quantity Price Total Fixed Costs Variale Cost Total Costs Average Variable Costs Average Total Cost Marginal Cost Total Revenue Marginal Revenue 0 35 25 0 1 35 25 20 2 35 25 25 3 35 25 35 4 35 25 52 5 35 25 80 If this firm produces a quantity of zero units, what is the total profits?

The total costs to produce four units is __________ while the average total cost to produce four units is _________.
- Question 3 The current market price in a competitive industry is $15. Every firm in the industry operates a technology that implies costs described by the function C = 12.5 + 0.3Q2. In the future, the technology is expected to change, and the new cost function will then be C = 10 + 0.2Q2. How much profit is the typical firm making today and in the long run? O. Profit is zero both today and in the long run. O. Profit is 125 both today and in the long run. O. Profit is 175 today and zero in the long run. O. Profit is 250 today and 125 in the long run.Kasey Puzzle, Inc. sells geography-based puzzles. Kasey currently sells 25,000 units a month for $40 each, has variable costs of $20 per unit, and fixed costs of $300,000.
