Which of the following is an expression of profit for a perfectly competitive firm? Profit for a perfectly competitive firm can be expressed as ⒸA. Profit=(PxQ)-(TCxQ), where P is price, Q is output, and TC is total cost. OB. Profit=P-MC, where P is price and MC is marginal cost. OC. Profit=PxQ, where is price and Q is output. O D. Profit=P-ATC, where P is price and ATC is average total cost. O E. Profit= (P-ATC) XQ, where P is price, Q is output, and ATC is average total cost.

The graph shown above gives his MC, ATC and AVC curves. Suppose the market price is $10.50. How much profit does Pierre make? 22.5 24 20 O18 S per unit
Is my answer correct? i think you need information about the AVC to answer this question. I know the firm is productive at a loss, but in order to decide whether or not the firm should shut down, you have to know whether or not price is above or below AVC, right?
this question is too confusing for me please help

Which of the following best explains why a firm in a competitive price-taker market must take the price determined in the market? The short-run average total costs of firms that are price takers will be constant. O If a price taker increased its price, consumers would buy from other suppliers. O Firms in a price-taker market will have to advertise in order to increase sales. There are no good substitutes for the product supplied by a firm that is a price taker.
