At its current level of production, a firm's average variable costs equal $10 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $2 per unit. Its total costs at this production level equal $2400. The firm faces a perfectly competitive market price of $15 per unit. 1. The firm's current output level = Write number only, no decimal place. 2. The economic profit (or loss) at this output level = 3. Suppose that the firm is maximizing its profits. The marginal cost at its current output level = 1

The cost curves below are for a firm competing in a perfectly competitive industry. If the market price is $7.50, a profit-maximizing firm would: Price and cost 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 2 MC y A A 1 B a 10 11 12 ATC AVC 13 Quantity Produce between 10 and 11, for a positive economic profit Produce about 9, for an economic profit of over $9 Produce between 10 and 11, for an economic profit of about $0 Produce about 9, for an economic profit of less than $9 Produce about 10, for an economic profit of about $20
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

Question: At a price of $16 per CD, a firm sells 70 cds. If the slope of the demand curve is -$0.10, marginal revenue for the 71st CD is $ Marginal revenue It is the change in revenue due to change in output. The marginal revenue curve is horizontal for a perfectly competitive firm. It is downward sloping and less than average revenue curve in imperfect competition.
Suppose that the total cost curve for a firm is TC = 500 + 2Q²+Q The firm's marginal cost curve is MC = 4Q+ 1 and the market price is $29 When producing at its profit-maximizing output level, this firm has an average variable cost of $15 and average total cost of $86.4. In the short run this firm should... Shut down since PAVC
Suppose that a firm in a competitive market has the following cost curves: Price 13 12 11 10 MC ATC 8+- AVC 7. 6.3 4.5 2 1 2 4 6 9 10 11 Quantity The firm's short-run supply curve is its marginal cost curve above which price level? The firm should shut down if the market price equals? If the market price falls below $4.50, the firm will earn positive or negative economic profits?

Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit. The output level corresponding to a marginal cost of $7 per unit is 1,000 units. At 1,000 units, its average variable costs equal $8 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $1 per unit. The firm's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output level = . Write number only. The firm's economic profit (or loss) at this output level = . Write either profit number or loss number: e.g. profit 2000.
Suppose that a competitive industry is buying and selling at an equilibrium price of $12. Now suppose that demand increases. If the market is an increasing cost industry, which of the following would we expect to happen in the long run? (select all that apply) The equilibrium price will be lower than $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be at the minimum firm's LAC 0 The equilibrium price will stay at $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be higher than $12 in the long run
