Consider the competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. 100 90 70 60 ATC 40 30 20 AVC 10 + ++++ 10 15 20 3 30 35 o 5 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 50 For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number ofr jackets this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero jackets and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price. Price Quantity (Dollars per jacket) (Jackets) Produce or Shut Down? Profit or Loss? 10 20 32 COSTS (Dollars)
