Refer to Figure 12-5. If the firm's fixed cost increases by $1,000 due to a new environmental regulation, what happens in the diagram above? None of the curves shifts; only the fixed cost curve, which is not shown here, is affected. All the cost curves shift upward. Only the average variable cost and average total cost curves shift upward: marginal cost is not affected. Only the average total cost curve shifts upward; the marginal cost and average variable cost curves are not affected.

That is, what will the price be? What quantity will be produced? What will be the relation between marginal cost, average cost, and price?
only typed answer Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $120, a cost curve of: C = 13q3 + 20q + 500, and a marginal cost of: MC = q2 +20. What is the firm's profit maximizing output level? ?? Units (round your answer to two decimal places) What is the firm's profit maximizing price? ??? (round to the nearest penny) What is the firm's profit? ??? (round to the nearest npenny) In the short-run, this firm should ?? produce or shut down??
