Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?
What two lines on a cost curve diagram intersect at the zero-profit point?
Why will profits for films in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run?
How does the average cost curve help to show whether a firm is making profits or losses?
Explain in words why a profit-maximizing film will not choose to produce at a quantity where marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.
If new technology in a perfectly competitive market brings about a substantial reduction in costs of production, how will this affect the market?
What is die difference between accounting and economic profit?
A firms marginal cost curve above the average variable cost curve is equal to the films individual supply curve. This means that every time a firm receives a price from the market it will be willing to supply the amount of output where the price equals marginal cost. What happens to the films individual supply curve if marginal costs increase?
The AAA Aquarium Co. sells aquariums for 20 each. Fixed costs of production are 20. The total variable costs are 20 for one aquarium, 25 for two units, 35 for the three units, 50 for four units, and 80 for five units. In the form of a table, calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost for each output level (one to five units). What is the Profit-maximizing quantity of output? On one diagram, sketch the total revenue and total cost curves. On another diagram, sketch the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves.
How would an improvement in technology, like the high-efficiency gas turbines or Pirelli tire plant, affect me lung-nm average cost curve of a firm? Can you draw the old curve and the new one on the same axes? How might such an improvement affect other firms in the industry?
