If a graph of a perfectly competitive firm shows that the MR-MC point occurs where MR (which is equal to the price for perfectly competitive firms) is below AVC and ATC, Ⓒa. the firm is earning negative profit, but will continue to produce where MR=MC in the short run. O b. the firm is earning negative profit, and will shut down rather than produce that level of output. O c. the firm can cover all of fixed costs but only a portion of variable costs. O d. the firm is covering explicit, but not implicit, costs. O e. the firm is still earning positive profit, as long as variable costs are covered.

Consider a perfectly competitive market with identical firms. Each firm faces following average variable cost (AVC) function: 1 AVC(Q) = (Q-40)2 + 25 40 If each firm's marginal revenue is equal to its marginal cost when (Q,P) = (40,20), what should happen to long-run prices? O A. Rise B. Stay the same C. Fall This happens because firms A. are earning positive short-run profit B. are breaking even O C. are earning short-run economic loss O O O

Which statement accurately describes the firm's situation? = O The firm incurs a loss and is minimizing its losses. O The firm carns a profit but should increase output to maximize its profits. O The firm is maximizing its profits. The firm earns a profit but should decrease output to maximize its profits.

Suppose we have a firm in a perfectly competitive market. Assume that we have the usual shaped cost curves. At a market price of $15 the profit maximizing firm produces 53 units.

O An increase in the fixed cost and a decrease in the marginal cost. O An increase in the fixed cost. O An increase in the marginal cost. O A decrease in the market price.
