**Educational Website Content:**### Analyzing Production Decisions and ProfitabilityFor each price in the table below, utilize the graph to determine the number of jackets a firm would produce 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 loss-minimizing quantity. Additionally, assess whether the firm will produce, shut down, or remain indifferent in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price point.#### Price and Production Table- **Price (Dollars per jacket):** - 15 - 20 - 25 - 55 - 70 - 85- **Output (Jackets):** (Determine using the graph)- **Produce or Shut Down:** (Choose based on analysis)- **Profit or Loss:** (Assess based on price and output)#### Graph DescriptionIn the graph displayed:- Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the firm’s short-run supply curve corresponding to prices where there is positive output.- Note: Additional points are provided for plotting beyond the required number.#### Graph Axes- **Y-Axis:** Price (Dollars per jacket)- **X-Axis:** Quantity of Output (Thousands of jackets)This exercise is designed to help students understand the relation between production costs, pricing, and profitability in a firm's production decisions. **Perfect Competition in Sports Jacket Market**In the context of a perfectly competitive market for sports jackets, the graph presented illustrates the relationships between marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry.**Graph Explanation:**- **Axes:** - The x-axis represents the "Quantity of Output" measured in thousands of jackets. - The y-axis shows the "Price and Cost per Unit" in dollars.- **Curves:** - **Marginal Cost (MC)**: Illustrated by the orange curve, it has a U-shape, initially decreasing, reaching a minimum, and then increasing as output continues to rise. This reflects the law of diminishing returns. - **Average Variable Cost (AVC)**: Shown as the purple curve, it starts above the MC but also initially declines, closely following the U-shape trend. However, it remains below the ATC throughout, indicating it's a component of total cost. - **Average Total Cost (ATC)**: Marked by a green curve, it maps similar behavior, peaking higher than the AVC at any quantity level, as it incorporates both fixed and variable costs.The intersections between these curves are significant:- The MC curve intersects both the AVC and ATC at their minimum points. This point of intersection is where the cost of producing one more unit is equal to the average cost, a critical condition for minimizing costs and determining production levels in a perfectly competitive market. Such graphs are fundamental for understanding cost structures within firms operating under perfect competition, providing insights into pricing strategies and profit maximization.

Suppose there are 7 firms in this industry, each of which has the cost curves previously shown. On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the industry's short-run supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is positive output. (Note: For the graphing tool to grade correctly, you must plot these points in order from left to right, starting with the point closest to the origin. You are given more points to plot than you need.) Next, place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market. Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.

The following diagram shows the market demand for steel. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 30 firms.

Given the information presented in the following graph, which of the following is an accurate statement? Price Po 0 ATC AVC m 20 MC DD Quantity Because this is a perfectly competitive firm, the profit maximizing rule is not P = MC, Profits will be reduced by expanding production to the zone where MC exceeds MR. Because this is a perfectly competitive firm, the profit maximizing rule is not P = MR. Production should keep expanding because MR is always less than MC.
