Figure 12-5 shows cost and demand curves facing a typical firm in a constant-cost perfectly competitive industry. Refer to Figure 12-5. The firm's manager suggests that the firm's goal should be to maximize average profit. In that case, what is the output level and what is the average profit that will achieve the manager's goal? OQ-1,800 units, average profit = $20

10. N-Calculating Profit/Loss for PC Firm *4* Charley Company is a competitive price-taker firm that is currently producing 100 units of output (q-100), At the current level of production, the firm has Marginal Revenue of (MR=) $12, Marginal Cost of (MC=) $15, Average Variable Cost of (AVC=) $7, and Average Total Cost of (ATC=) $20. From this information, we can conclude that Charley Company is currently: O Suffering an economic loss but could decrease Its losses by decreasing production (q). O Enjoying an economic profit but could increase Its profits by Increasing production (q). O Enjoying an economic profit but could increase its profits by decreasing production (q). O Suffering an economic loss but should not change its production (a) as it is doing the best it can. O Suffering an economic loss but could decrease its losses by increasing production (a).
Radhika has started providing tutorial service to 10th standard students in mathematics. She charges Rs.750 per week for teaching mathematics to one student. She teaches 10 students every week. Let her weekly total cost be Rs.8000, of which Rs.1000 is fixed cost. Answer the following questions assuming Radhika's tutorial service to be a profit-maximizing competitive firm. How much profit is Radhika making in the short run? Will Radhika operate in the short run? Explain. Demonstrate Radhika's profit maximizing behaviour in a graph. Label your graph clearly There are 1000 ice cream sellers in your city with free entry and exit. Assume that each seller has an identical cost structure which remains unaffected by entry or exit of firms. Suppose the city municipal corporation decides to restrict the number of ice cream sellers to 800. How does it affect an individual ice cream seller existing in the market in the short run? Explain with graphs of the market and the individual firm What…

draw marginal cost, marginal revenue, and average total cost curves for a typical perfectly competitive firm in long-run equilibrium and indicate the profit maximizing level of output and total profit for that firm.
A perfectly competitive firm has total revenue of $10,000 from its daily output. That output is the profit-maximizing output. The firm's average cost is $15, its marginal cost is $20, and its average variable cost is $10. What is the profit the firm is making at this output level? What total variable costs does it incur? Its total fixed costs? B Show transcribed image text

Question 5.5 T-Shirt Enterprises is selling in a purely competitive market. It is producing 3,000 units, selling them for $2 each. At this level of output, the average total cost is $2.50 and the average variable cost is $2.20. Based on these data, the firm should shut down in the short run. decrease output to 2,500 units. ontinue to produce 3,000 units. increase output to 3,500 units.
