The curves show the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), marginal revenue (MR), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm that sells mid-range cars in a competitive market. Use the area tool to draw the area representing the firm's profit or loss, if the firm produces 6,000 cars. Your answer should be a rectangle drawn with four corners.

The cost function for Acme Laundry is C(q) = 50 + 30q +q?, where q is tons of laundry cleaned. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p? The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized as a function of p is q =|- (Properly format your expression using the tools in the palette. Hover over tools to see keyboard shortcuts. E.g., a fraction can be created with the / character.) If p= 60, then Acme Laundry should produce| units. (Enter your response as a whole number.)
The graph below shows a particular firms marginal revenue (mr) marginal cost (mc) and average total cost (atc) curves, where the market is competitive. Suppose that a new management team is brought in and that this team is initially less concerned about maximizing profits than it is simply about making a profit. What range of production quantities will allow the firm to operate while earning a profit? Give you're answer by dragging the qmin to Qmax lines into their correct positions. The output will need to lie somewhere between those limits.

Beta Industries manufactures floppy disks that consumers perceive as identical to those produced by numerous other manufacturers. Recently, Beta hired an econometrician to estimate its cost function for producing boxes of one dozen floppy disks. The estimated cost function is C = 20 + 2Q^2. a. What are the firm's fixed costs? b. What is the firm's marginal cost? Now suppose other firms in the market sell the product at a price of $10 c. How much should this firm charge for the product? d. What is the optimal level of output to maximize profits? e. How much profit will be earned? f. In the long run, should this firm continue to operate or shut down? Why? *Please show all work*
We expect the marginal cost to increase as this firm produces more computers. But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2 computers, marginal cost falls. What might explain this?
Examine the graph below that presents costs for a typical olive oil producer and answer questions: a) What is the ATC, AVC and AFC at q = 12? (approximate to one decimal) ATC = AVC = AFC = What is TC, VC and FC at q = 12? Show your calculations. b) If the price of olive oil is $3.50, how much oil would a price - taking firm be willing to produce and sell? Would the firm be able to make a profit at this price? If not, would there be a loss?

The profit function for a firm is given by n(q) = -q³ + 300q² – 10,800q – 4,000. a. Is the firm operating in the short-run or the long-run? How do you know? b. What is the output that maximizes profit for the firm? c. What is the maximized level of profit? d. In Excel or other software, provide a graph of the above profit function to confirm your mathematical results found above. Use output amounts ranging from 1 to 200. Put profit on the vertical axis and output on the horizontal axis.
Refer to the figure below. If the firm is producing the level of output that maximizes profit, its total variable cost of production is:
