A company produces at an output level where marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue and has the following revenue and cost levels: Total revenue = $1,450 Total cost = $1,500 Total variable cost = $1,300 What would you suggest? a. Shut down. b. Continue to produce because the loss is less than the total fixed cost. c. Increase production to lower the marginal cost. e. Raise the price. II. At current long-run production levels, the marginal revenue of a competitive firm is $15 and the marginal cost of the firm is $15. If the market is perfectly competitive, the firm should a. cut back on production. b. stop production all together. c. produce more. d. continue producing at current levels.

Refer to the diagram to the right. In the long run, why will the firm produce Q, units and not Q units, which has a lower its average cost of production? OA. Although its average cost of production is lower when the firm produces Qg units, to be able to sell its output the firm will have to charge a price below average cost, resulting in a loss. B. The firm's goal is to charge a high price and make a small profit rather than a low price and no profit. O C. At Qg. average cost exceeds marginal cost so the firm will actually make a loss. Op. At Qg, marginal revenue t is less than average revenue cost which will result in a loss for the firm. Price and cost per unit ($) MR Q₁ QgQnQj Quantity MC ATC
