- (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= $ 500.1. 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 perfectly competitive firm faces the short-run cost schedule shown in Table 1. A) Calculate average total cost (ATC=TC/Q), marginal cost (MC=∆TC/∆Q) and marginal revenue (MR=∆TR/∆Q) for each level of output. The price per unit of output is £16. B) Plot ATC, MC and MR on a graph and mark the profit-maximising output. At what output is profit maximised? C) How much profit/loss is made at the optimum level of output?
