According to the accompanying table, what quantity of output should the firm produce? Explain your answer.
Explain why a firm might want to produce its good even after diminishing marginal returns have set in and marginal cost is on the rise. People often believe that large firms in an industry have cost advantages over small firms in the same industry. For example, they might think a big oil company has a cost advantage over a small oil company. For this to be true, what condition must exist? Explain your answer.
Suppose an increase in the cost of land increases the firm's fixed costs, as a result, average total cost increases from ATC2 to ATC1. What is profit maximizing quantity and price after the increase in average total costs? After the increase in average total costs does the firm make economic profit, economic loss or breaks even? How do you know? explain your answer.
Give an example of a price at which this firm would want to produce and sell output in the short run, but not in the long run.
Fill in the blanks using information in the following table: Output per day Price ($) Total Costs ($) 0 80 40 1 75 45 2 70 48 3 65 56 4 60 66 5 55 88 6 50 143 7 45 223 8 40 423 The amount of total profits is maximized when the firm produces _ units of output. At that output level, marginal revenue is $_, average revenue is $_, and the amount of profits is $_.
What happens to a competitive firm whose cost function exhibits decreasing marginal cost everywhere? Construct a concrete cost function of this type and carry out the search for the profit-maximizing output.
In the short-run, if the marginal cost of a firm in a competitive industry is increasing while its average variable cost is downward sloping, what can you say about slope of average total cost?
For each of the following events identify which of the determinates of demand or supply are affected. Also indicate whether demand or supply is increased or decreased. Why? A stock market crash lowers people’s wealth. Batelco increases the prices of mobile services. Diminishing returns mean rising costs while economies of scale mean falling costs. Therefore, a firm cannot be facing both diminishing returns and economies of scale. Do you agree? Why or why not?
