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.
A company in a perfectly competitive market produces an output level Q = 100 where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost and has the following revenue and cost levels: Marginal cost curve intersects the average variable cost curve at $150. Marginal cost curve intersects the average total cost curve at $200. Marginal cost curve intersects the marginal revenue curve at $170. At Q = 100, ATC = $210 and AVC = $155 Is this firm making a profit or a loss at Q = 100? What would you suggest this firm should do in the short run? Explain.
