In the short run, given a market price equal to $15 per jumpsuit, the firm should produce a daily quantity of jumpsuits. On the preceding graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to fill in the area that represents profit or loss of the firm given the market price of $15 and the quantity of production from your previous answer. Note: In the following question, enter a positive number regardless of whether the firm earns a profit or incurs a loss. The rectangular area represents a short-run of S thousand per day for the firm.

will need to upload your answers. Assume a company is producing 600 units of output per day and minimizing total cost with the following isoquant graph. Both the price of labor (w) and the price of capital (r) are $100 per day. Now assume they want to increase production to 800. Use the graph and complete sentences (and the numbers from the situation provided) to explain whether marginal cost would be higher in the short run or long run or will the MC be the same in both the SR and LR. That is, what is the MC is the short run and the MC in the long run? Explain. KI

The following graph plots the marginal cost (MC) curve, average total cost (ATC) curve, and average variable cost (AVC) curve for a firm operating in the competitive market for jumpsuits. COSTS (Dollars) 80 72 64 56 24 16 8 0 0 8 0 MC ATC AVC Price (Dollars per jumpsuit) 4 8 12 36 48 60 ■ 16 24 32 40 48 56 QUANTITY (Thousands of jumpsuits) ☐ Quantity (Jumpsuits) 64 For every price level given in the following table, use the graph to determine the profit-maximizing quantity of jumpsuits for the firm. Further, select whether the firm will choose to produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. (Assume that when price exactly equals average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero jumpsuits and the profit-maximizing quantity of jumpsuits.) Lastly, determine whether the firm will earn a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price. 72 80 Produce or Shut Down? Profit or Loss?

Assume that the sale price of chairs is always sufficiently high that it is profitable to fulfill this 80-chair order. The firm needs to make 80 chairs to fulfill its order. Assume also that the firm is profit maximizing (& therefore cost minimizing). What combinations of robot and worker hours must they use to minimize costs? Show your work. Use the equation that must be true for cost minimization
One of the students states that this actually is beneficial to the firm because less output means more profit. Is that student correct? The key to solving the puzzle is the marginal principle.
Consider the following total cost (TC) curve: 20 $/Q1 15 10. 5 5 MC 10 1 15 TC In the two graphs below, please (carefully) draw the marginal cost (MC) and the average variable cost (AVC) curves corresponding to the TC curve. Please identify the coordinates of the point on each curve at Q=3 (three) and Q = 15 (fifteen). That is, what is MC and AVC at Q=3 and = 15? Still, in other words, identify the coordinates of two points on each of the two curves. Output AVC
