Brody's firm produces trumpets in a perfectly competitive market. The table below shows Brody's total variable cost. He has a fixed cost of $240, and the price per trumpet is $60.-Calculate the average total cost of producing 6 trumpets. Show your work. -Calculate the marginal cost of producing the 11th trumpet. -What is Brody's profit-maximizing quantity? Use marginal analysis to explain your answer. -At the profit-maximizing quantity you determined in part (c), calculate Brody's profit or loss. Show your work. -Brody also produces saxophones at a loss in a perfectly competitive market. Draw a correctly labeled graph for Brody's firm showing the following at a market price of $200. -Brody's profit-maximizing quantity of saxophones -Brody's loss, completely shaded Quantity Total Variable cost 6 $120 7 $145 8 $165 9 $220 10 $290 11 $390

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.

Consider a firm in a perfectly competitive market. If this firm were to raise its price, its a. revenue would fall dramatically b. profits would increase as long as costs remained constant C. total costs would increase revenue would increase only if market demand were inelastic e. revenue would decrease only if market demand were elastic

In the short run, the profit maximization for a firm in a perfectly competitive market would be: the marginal revenue is equal to the market price the marginal revenue is equal to the average revenue The market price is equal to the marginal cost O the marginal revenue is greater than the marginal cost
Question Suppose firm VACC produces in a (perfectly) competitive industry and has the cost function C = 300 + 2q^2 + 15q where q is its output level. a) What are VACC's marginal cost? b) How much output will VACC produce for a price P = 115? c) Compute VACC's profits. d) What is the difference between a firm's profits and producer surplus ? (Can you give an intuition for the concept of producer surplus ?) e) What is VACC's producer surplus ?
