3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curvesSuppose Rian operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells rompers. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for rompers with a marketprice equal to $20 per romper.THThe following graph shows Rian's total cost curve.Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for rompers for quantities zero throughseven (including zero and seven) that Rian produces.TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars)200175150125100755025-25DO01235QUANTITY (Rompers)46Total Cost78Total RevenueProfit? Calculate Rian's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven rompers they produce, and plot them on the following graph.

Suppose a firm engaged in the illegal copying of DVD’s has a daily short run total cost function given by: STC = (q^2)+25 If pirated DVD’s sell for $20, how many will the firm copy each day? What will its profits be? What is the firm’s short run producer surplus at P=20? Develop a general expression for this firm’s producer surplus as a function of the price of pirated DVD’s.
For the pizza seller whose marginal, average variable, and average total cost curves are shown in the graph below, what is the profit-maximizing level of output and how much profit will this producer earn if the price of pizza is $1.50 per slice?Instructions: In the graph below, label all three curves by clicking on the dropdown to select the appropriate label. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to include a negative sign (−). When the price is $1.50 per slice, the profit-maximizing level of output is slices per day. Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). At the profit-maximizing level of output, the producer's profit is: $ per day.
A perfectly competitive firm sells its good for $20. If marginal cost is four times the quantity produced, how much does the firm produce? Why? Assuming perfect competition, there is not enough information to determine how much the firm is producing. Assuming perfect competition, the firm is producing where MC is twice MR. If the price is $20, then MC is $40. This means that the firm is producing 10 units. Assuming perfect competition, the firm is producing where MR = MC. If the price is $20 and MC is four times the quantity, it is producing 80 units. Assuming perfect competition, the firm is producing where MR = MC = P. Since price is $20, MR is $20. If MC is 4 times the quantity, it is producing 5 units.
You are a fleet manager for a transportation company and, as such, are interested in the changes in the gasoline market since gasoline is an input of production for your company.
