- A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 100 units of output. It has average revenue of $10, average total cost of $8, and fixed cost of $200. What is its profit? What is its marginal cost? What is its average variable cost?Suppose the quantity of apples supplied in yourmarket is 2,400. If there are 60 apple producers,each with identical cost structures, how manyapples does each producer supply to the market?Assume that a firm in a competitive market faces the following cost information. If the market price for this firm's product is $40, calculate the profit maximizing level of output for this firm using marginal analysis. It may help to create your own cost table and fill in columns for Marginal Cost and Average Total Cost based on the Total Cost information below. a.What is the level of profit for this firm at the profit maximizing output? b.To convince yourself that the quantity you found is indeed the profit maximizing quantity, try calculating what the profit would be at the next higher level of output. What did you find? c. What do you predict will happen in this market over the long run?
- a) A profit-maximizing business incurs an economic loss of $10,000 per year. Its fixed cost is $15,000 per year. Should it produce or shut down in the short run? Should it stay in the industry or exit in the long run? b) Suppose instead that this business has a fixed cost of $6,000 per year. Should it produce or shut down in the short run? Should it stay in the industry or exit in the long run?The diagram shows a price-taking bakery's marginal and average cost curves, and its isoprofit curves. The current market price for bread is P*= 2.50.
