- Suppose Kevin runs a small business that manufactures teddy bears. Assume that the market for teddy bears is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per teddy bear. The following graph shows Kevin's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for teddy bears quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Kevin produces. Calculate Kevin's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven teddy bears he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity. Kevin's profit is maximized when he produces ___ teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is ___ , which is (greater/less) than the price Kevin receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is,…arrow_forwardWhat two lines determine whether a firm is making positive or negative or zero profits?arrow_forwardExplain the difference between a firm's revenue and its profit.
