Identify which of the following statement is FALSE about this market. MC АТС /AVC $16 $12 $10 7 10 O a. Marginal Revenue (MR) curve is P=$12 for this firm. O b. Firm will decide to shut-down and exit the market. O c. The long run equilibrium price (Pe) will be at $16. O d. Firm suffer a loss in the short run.
A perfectly competitive firm maximizes profit by producing 100 units at an ave total cost of $12 and an average fix cost of $5 for a market price of $10. Its shutdown price will be - $10 O b. $5 $7 O d. $12 Show Transcribed Text Under perfectly competitive conditions, a firm should continue to produce - OaUntil total revenue is as high as possible Ob Until price is equal to marginal cost Oc Until profits are negative Od. While costs are falling, then stop Oe. Until there is no more revenue Show Transcribed Text A perfectly competitive firm maximizes profit by producing 200 units at an average total cost of $15 and an average fix cost of $5 for a market price of $25. Its total fixed cost will be- O a $3000 O b. $1000 O c. $1500 Od. $2000 Show Transcribed Text According to this principle, as successive units of a variable factor (say labor) are added to a fixed factor, beyond some point the marginal product attributed to every additional unit of that variable factor will decline.
