QUESTION 10 Jack sells water bottles. Assume the market for water bottles is perfectly competitive. Jack sells his water bottles at the market price of $9.00. At the profit-maximising output level of 51 water bottles, Jack's average total cost is $4.40 per water bottle. The minimum average variable cost is $3.90 per water bottle. Answer the following questions: a. Jack's economic profit or loss is decimal places (ie: to the nearest cent). (use a negative value if a loss). Answer in dollars, rounded to two b. State whether the following statement is true or false: "At the profit-maximising quantity, Jack is making an economic profit of $4.60 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false c. State whether the following statement is true or false: "Jack should shut down if the market price is $3.85 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false
Figure 14-13 Suppose a firm in a competitive industry has the following cost curves: 10 9- 8 7. 6 اکیه 3.5 2 1- Price 1 2 3 4 MC 5 6 7 8 ATC AVC Refer to Figure 14-13. If the price is $2 in the short run, what will happen in the long run? ◆a. Individual firms will earn positive economic profits in the short run, which will entice other firms to enter the industry. b. Nothing. The price is consistent with zero economic profits, so there is no incentive for firms to enter or exit the industry. ● C. Individual firms will earn negative economic profits in the short run, which will cause some firms to exit the industry. d. Because the price is below the firm's average variable costs, the firms will shut down. 45

Converse has been fairly successful selling denim colored UK sportswear. Lydia, wanting to get in on the profit, has also entered this market. After producing her profit maximizing level of output she finds that her average total cost per unit is $40, her average variable cost per unit is $30, and her selling price (forced upon her by the market), is $20. In the short run, she should: O go back to college and shut down her denim UK sportswear business. Ostay in business even though she is suffering a loss. O expand production since she is making a positive economic profit. O burn down the Converse factory so she can capture their share of the market and make even bigger profits than the profit she is already making.

Nathan runs a rare book store. Last year, he earned $35,000 in revenue and had explicit costs of $8,000. Nathan could have made $35,000 driving a boat in a water ski show and received an additional $5,000 if he had used the company's inputs in a different way. Calculate Nathan's economic profit. $
After selling 1,000 three-ring binders Tony DiFulvio realizes that the marginal revenue from selling the last binder was less than the marginal cost. From this we can conclude that Tony's profit would be greater if he sold an additional three-ring binder. Tony should shut down his business temporarily. Tony's business earns a short-run economic profit. Tony's profit fell after selling his 1,000th three-ring binder.
