- The figure depicts the demand curve of a firm producing cars, together with its marginal cost, average cost, and isoprofit curves. Based on this figure, which of the following statements are correct? 8,000 Price, Marginal cost ($) 0 E Quantity of cars, Q At A, the firm makes positive profits. The firm makes the same profit at B and D. O Profit margin is the same at B and D. O The slope of the isoprofit is zero at D. MC Isoprofit A Isoprofit B AC 100The curves show the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), marginal revenue (MR), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm that sells mid-range cars in a competitive market. Use the area tool to draw the area representing the firm's profit or loss, if the firm produces 6,000 cars. Your answer should be a rectangle drawn with four corners.The table below shows the weekly marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) for Buddies, a purely competitive firm that produces novelty ear buds.

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. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of 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.
