Question 1 Price P B Q Which best describes the graph? A) In this case, the per-unit profit is OP - OP' = PP' B) In this case, the per-unit profit is OP - OP' = PP' MR A firm earns normal profits when the average cost of production is less than the average revenue for the corresponding output. In the figure above, you can see that the price per unit = OP = QA. Also, the cost per unit = OP'. In this case, the per-unit profit is OP - OP' = PP' MC Also, the total profit earned by the monopolist is PP'BA. A firm is at a loss when the average cost of production is less than the average revenue for the corresponding output. In the figure above, you can see that the price per unit = OP= QA. Also, the cost per unit = OP'. Therefore, the firm is earning less and incurring a loss. Also, the total profit earned by the monopolist is PP'BA. AC In this case, the per-unit profit is OP - OP' = PP' AR Also, the total profit earned by the monopolist is PP'BA. A firm earns super-normal profits when the average cost of production is less than the average revenue for the corresponding output. In the figure above, you can see that the price per unit = OP = QA. Also, the cost per unit = OP'. Therefore, the firm is earning more and incurring a lesser cost. Quantity Also, the total profit earned by the monopolist is PP'BA. A firm at breakeven when the average cost of production is less than the average revenue for the corresponding output. In the figure above, you can see that the price per unit = OP = QA. Also, the cost per unit = OP. Therefore, the firm is in equilibrium.
