Why will profits for films in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run?
A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of 250. The marginal cost of producing computers is 700 for the first computer, 250 for the second, 300 for the third, 350 for the fourth, 430 for the fifth, 450 for the sixth, and 500 for the seventh. Create a table that shows the companys output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? If the company sells the computers for 500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss. If the firm sells the computers for 300, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss.
How does the average cost curve help to show whether a firm is making profits or losses?
Based on your answers to the WipeOut Ski Company in Exercise 7.3, now imagine a situation where the firm produces a quantity of 5 units that it sells for a price of 25 each. What will be the companys profits or losses? How can you tell at a glance whether the company is making or losing money at this price by looking at average cost? At the given quantity and price, is the marginal unit produced adding to profits?

Calculate Rian's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven phone cases they produce, 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. COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per phone case) 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 1 2 3 4 5 QUANTITY (Phone cases) 6 7 8 Marginal Revenue Marginal Cost ? Rian's profit is maximized when they produce a total of is $ an amount phone cases. At this quantity, the marginal cost of the final phone case they produce than the price received for each phone case they sell. At this point, the marginal cost of producing one more phone case (the first phone case beyond the profit maximizing quantity) is $ an amount than the price received for each phone case they sell. Therefore, Rian's profit-maximizing quantity occurs at the point of intersection between the curves. Because Rian is a price taker, the previous condition is equivalent to
Suppose Rian operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells rompers. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for rompers with a market price equal to $25 per romper. The following graph shows Rian's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for rompers for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Rian produces.

Suppose Musashi runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $25 per shirt. The following graph shows Musashi's total cost curve.

Calculate Darnell's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven shirts 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. COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per shirt) 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 1 2 3 5 QUANTITY (Shirts) 4 6 7 8 O Marginal Revenue Marginal Cost ? Darnell's profit is maximized when he produces shirts. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt he produces is $ , which is than the price Darnell receives for each shirt he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt than would maximize his profit) is $ , which is than the price Darnell receives for each shirt he sells. Therefore, Darnell's profit- maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Darnell is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as
