- Explain in words why a profit-maximizing film will not choose to produce at a quantity where marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue.Your company operates in a perfectly competitive market. You have been told that advertising can help you increase your sales in the short run. Would you create an aggressive advertising campaign for your product?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.

Does the graph above represent the firm’s short run equilibrium or long run equilibrium, for a given price? A. short run B. long run C. short run or long run D. neither short run nor long runQ2 (a). Assume apples are sold in a perfectly competitive market and firms are making zero economic profit. Explain and illustrate graphically, the effect of increase in market price on the short run position of a single firm selling apples. (Hint: Make sure your graph includes the firm’s demand curve, marginal revenue curve, marginal cost curve and average total cost curve and also explain the profit maximising position of a firm)3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Cho runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt. The following graph shows Cho's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Cho produces.
- Consider total cost and total revenue given in the following table: TABLE IN IMAGE Calculate profit for each quantity. How much should the firm produce to maximize profit?(ii) Calculate marginal revenue and marginal cost for each quantity. Graph them. (Hint: Put the points betweenwhole numbers. For example, the marginal cost between 2 and 3 should be graphed at 2½.) At what quantitydo these curves cross? How does this relate to your answer to part (a)?(iii) Can you tell whether this firm is in a competitive industry? If so, can you tell whether the industry is in along-run equilibrium? (8.75)Sleek sneakers is one of many firms in the market for shoes. a. Assume that sleek is currently earning short run economic profit. On a correctly labeled diagram, show Sleek's profit maximizing output and price as well as the area representing the profit. b. What happen to Sleek's price, output and profit in the long run? Explain this change in words and show it on a new diagram. c. Suppose that overtime consumers become more focused on stylistic differences among shoe brands. How would this change in attitudes affect each firm's price elasticity of demand? In the long run, how will this change in demand affect Sleek's price, output and profit? d. At the profit maximizing price you identified in part (c), is Sleek's demand curve elastic or inelastic? Explain.(a) Why the competitive firm faces a relatively horizontal demand curve. (b) The profit maximization rule for a perfectly competitive firm states that the perfectly competitive firm will maximize its profits when it produces that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost for the last unit produced and sold. In your own words explain why the firm is better off producing that quantity where MR = MC rather than that quantity where MR > MC or that quantity where MR < MC. (c) Should a firm shut down and why if its revenue is R=$ 1, 000. Its variable cost VC=$ 500 and its sunk fixed cost is F= $ 600. Its variable cost VC=$ 1, 500 and its sunk fixed cost is F= $ 500.
