Suppose a perfectly competitive firm is operating in short run. The information of MR, Q,ATC and AVC are 15 taka, 60 unit, 45taka and 35 taka respectively. Calculate firm’sprofit/loss and total fixed cost. From these calculations and based on all the giveninformation, can you conclude about the firm’s decision in short run? Explain your reasoningwith the help of a suitable diagram. Show all the relevant information in yourdiagram.[Q=profit maximizing output and MR=marginal revenue]
A small firm operating in a purely competitive market has fixed costs of $45 per day compensates each employee $96 per day and has daily input and raw material costs as indicated in the table below. A. What would be the profit maximizing level of production if demand increased such that each unit sold for $130?, will the company make an economic profit producing this quantity of output? b: suppose the demand significantly decreased so that price for a unit of ouput sold to $115 each. What should the firm do? Why?

Assume a purely competitive increasing cost industry is intislly long eun equilibrium producing 10 million units atca market price of $5.00. Supoose that increaae in consumer demand occurs. After all economic adjustments have been completed which output and price combination is most likely to occur ? 9.5 units at a price of $4.50 11 units at a price of $4.75 9 units at a price of $5.25 12 units at a price of $5.50
Now suppose firm X undertakes a process innovation that reduces its marginal cost ofproduction from $20 to $15. The fixed cost of undertaking this process innovation is F > 0. Is this atough commitment or a soft commitment? Why? For what values of F would it make sense for firm Xto make this commitment?

An ice cream producer has ﬁxed costs of $70,000 per month, and it can produce up to 15,000 ice cream tubs per month. Each tub costs $10 in the market whilethe producer faces variable costs of $3 per tub.a. What is the economic breakeven level of production?b . Calculate the ice cream producer’s monthly proﬁts at full capacity. What would happen to the monthly proﬁts if another ice cream producer entered themarket, driving the price of ice cream tubs down to $7 per unit?
Suppose you are a perfectly competitive firm producing computer memory chips. Your production capacityis 1000 units per year. Your marginal cost is $10 per chip up to capacity. You have a fixed cost of $10,000 ifproduction is positive and $0 if you shut down. What are your profit-maximizing levels of production andprofit if the market price is ( a ) $5 per chip, ( b ) $15 per chip, and ( c ) $25 per chip? For case ( b ), explainwhy production is positive even though profits are negative?
4. Assess which of the following is true and which is false.A firm’s profit equation is given by π = -100 + 160Q – 20Q2. Therefore,a) The firm’s fixed cost is 100.b) The firm’s fixed cost is 40 and variable cost is 20.c) Marginal profit is Mπ = 160 – 20Q.d) The firm’s profit-maximizing output is Q = 4.e) Marginal profit is Mπ = 160 – 40Q and it is positive for quantities that are lower than theprofit-maximizing quantity.
Use the following data to analyze the condition when the product proce is set at $32 Assume the following unit cost data are for a purely competitive producer. See table below: Required: A. What will be the profit maximizing or loss- minimizing output? B. How much would be the economic profit that the firm will realize per unit of output? C. How much would be the product price for the firm to be at a shutdown position?
Title is my answer for this question correct please advice me Description Making dresses in a labor intensive process. Indeed, theproduction function of a dress making firm is well described by theequation Q=L - L^2/800, where Q denotes the number of dresses perweek and L is the number of labor hours per week. The firms cost ofhiring an extra hour of labor is $20 per hour (wage plus fringebenefits.) The firm faces the fixed selling price, P = $40. a.) How much labor should the firm employ? What are itsresulting output and profit? b.) Over the next 2 years, labor costs are expected to beunchanged, but dress prices are expected to increase to $50. Whateffect will this have on the firm's optimal output? Explain.Suppose that inflation is expected to increase the firm's laborcost and output price by identical (precentage) amounts. Whateffect would this have on the firm's output. c.) Finally, suppose that MCL =$20 and P=$50 but that laborproductivity (output per labor hour) is…
