The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity-0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to drawit.

Assume that a firm in a competitive market faces the following cost information. If the market price for this firm's product is $40, calculate the profit maximizing level of output for this firm using marginal analysis. It may help to create your own cost table and fill in columns for Marginal Cost and Average Total Cost based on the Total Cost information below. a.What is the level of profit for this firm at the profit maximizing output? b.To convince yourself that the quantity you found is indeed the profit maximizing quantity, try calculating what the profit would be at the next higher level of output. What did you find? c. What do you predict will happen in this market over the long run?

Assume the industry for flour tortillas in Denver is perfectly competitive. There are 200 firms. Seventy-five of the firms are “high-cost,” with short-run supply curves QHC = 5P. The other 125 are “low-cost,” with short-run supply curves QLC = 8P. Quantities are measured in dozens of tortillas and prices in dollars. Derive the short-run industry supply curve for tortillas QS. Assume the market demand curve for tortillas is given by QD = 10,000 − 625P. Find the market equilibrium price and quantity. At this price, how many dozens of tortillas are produced by the high- and low-cost firms, respectively? Determine total industry producer surplus at the equilibrium. Especially need the producer surplus.

A perfectly competitive firm has the cost function TC = 1000 + 2Q + 0.1 Q2. What is the lowest price at which this firm can break even?
For a perfectly competitive firm, profit maximization occurs when output is such that A) marginal revenue (MR) = marginal cost (MC). B) total cost (TC) is minimized. C) total revenue (TR) equals total cost (TC). D) average total cost (ATC) is minimized. E) total revenue (TR) is maximized.
At what output does a perfectly competitive firm maximize its profit? when marginal cost equals average fixed cost when average total cost equals average revenue when total revenue equals total variable cost when marginal cost equals marginal revenue
Would a cost function of 0 mean a linear line of supply curve? For example if 10 firms are on the market selling 10 goods and the cost function is 0?
