What is a price taker firm?
A computer company produces affordable, easy-to-use home computer systems and has fixed costs of 250. The marginal cost of producing computers is 700 for the first computer, 250 for the second, 300 for the third, 350 for the fourth, 430 for the fifth, 450 for the sixth, and 500 for the seventh. Create a table that shows the companys output, total cost, marginal cost, average cost, variable cost, and average variable cost. At what price is the zero-profit point? At what price is the shutdown point? If the company sells the computers for 500, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss. If the firm sells the computers for 300, is it making a profit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss? Sketch a graph with AC, MC, and AVG curves to illustrate your answer and show the profit or loss.

QUESTION 1 DA MC ATC AVC Quantity Observe the graph above. Based on the original price being set at P1, what assumptions would you make about the company's condition and what might happen O The company is profitable and making a very good profit O Company is barely at the break-even point or even below that point because the price of the product is set to cover just its variable costs which means the company would not survive long if the price of P1 remains the same O Company is making small profits in the short run O None of the above.
