Consider a firm in a competitive market. The marginal cost curve starts at $37 and hits its minimum at $11. The average variable cost curve starts at $37 and hits its minimum at $28. The average total cost hits its minimum at $48. At what price are the firm's economic profits equal to zero? Round to two decimal places and do not enter the currency symbol. If your answer is $1.125, enter 1.13.

Suppose that a small family farm sold its output for $100,000 in a given year. The family spent $25,000 on fuel, $40,000 on seed, fertilizer, and pesticides, and $25,000 on equipment, including maintenance. The family members could have earned $20,000 working at other occupations What is the accounting profit for the family farm?
Assume that the marginal revenue equals rising marginal cost at 100 units of output. At this output level, a profit-maximizing firm's total fixed cost is $700 and its average variable costs are $5. If the price of the product is $4 per unit and the firm produces the profit-maximizing level of output, How much profit firm will earn ?
