4. Short-run profit maximization or loss minimization for a perfectly competitive firm Suppose that the market for frying pans is a perfectly competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. PRICE AND COST (Dollars per pan) 100 90 80 70 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 4 MC ATC AVC 8 12 16 20 24 28 QUANTITY OF OUTPUT (Pans) 32 36 40 Profit or Loss ? In the short run, at a market price of $30 per pan, this firm will choose to produce pans per day. On the previous graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to shade the area representing the firm's profit or loss if the market price is $30 and the firm chooses to produce the quantity you already selected. Note: In the following question, you should enter a positive number in the numeric entry field. The area of this rectangle indicates that the firm's would be $ per day.

Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve for the wheat industry. Specifically, place an orange point at the lowest point of the supply curve and another orange point at the highest point of the supply curve. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output, since this is the industry supply curve. Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) 2.

Consider the competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. 100 90 70 60 ATC 40 30 20 AVC 10 + ++++ 10 15 20 3 30 35 o 5 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 50 For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number ofr jackets this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero jackets and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price. Price Quantity (Dollars per jacket) (Jackets) Produce or Shut Down? Profit or Loss? 10 20 32 COSTS (Dollars)
