3. Firm Alpha is a price taker. Its marginal cost is MC(q), average cost is AC(q), and average variable cost is AVC(q). At the current short-run price P, firm Alpha optimally chooses to produce q=100, but it has a negative profit. Then we can conclude that AMC>P B AVC>P>AC CAC>AVC>P DP>AVC> AC E AC>P>AVC

By how much would the market price of abortions and the number of abortions change if a lump-sum tax is assessed on abortion clinics that raises their minimum average cost by 10%? On the graph to the right, show the new long-run equilibrium price. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw the new demand curve and label the line d². 2.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw the new average cost curve and label the curve AC². Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Using the price elasticity of demand information from the "Abortion Market" application, calculate the decrease in the number of abortions from the lump sum tax. Abortions will decrease by as little as percent or by as much as percent.

Firms in the market for dog food are selling in a purely competitive market. A firm producing dog food has an output of 10,000 pounds of dog food, for which it sells for $0.50 a pound. At the output level of 10,000 pounds the average variable cost is $0.40, the average total cost is $0.70, and the marginal cost is $0.50. (a) What would you expect the firm to do in the short run? Explain.
