- HELP PLEASE!!! There are two questions here. 1. Is the firm maximizing profit? 2. What quantity of output should the firm produce in the long run?If a firm's marginal revenue is below its marginal cost, an increase in production will usually: a. increase profits b. leave profits unchanged c. decrease profits d. increase marginal revenueI. 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.

Competitive market, Practice Question Wheat farmer Joe has the cost function of C(q) = 160,000 + 100q+q²__ The market for wheat is competitive and there are many farmers like this, with the same cost function. The demand function is Q = 15000 - 10p. (a) In the short run, below which price should Joe shut down? (b) In the short run, there are 19 farmers like Joe (so 20 farmers in total). How much should Joe produce? What will the price be? (c) What is the price below which Joe would shut down in the long run? (d) How many farmers will operate in the long run? (e) What is the market elasticity of demand at long-run equilibrium point?C. Table below shows some cost data for a perfectly competitive firm i. Is the firm operating in the short run or long run?
