Mortimer makes picture frames. From the consumers' perspective, his frames are not different from those offered by other sellers. The going market price of a typical frame is $20. Mortimer has determined that his marginal cost of the fifth frame is $17, of the sixth frame is $19, and of the seventh frame is $21. His total variable cost of producing five frames is $96, and his total fixed cost is $60. In this situation, Mortimer should: Selected answer will be automatically saved.

The two side by side graphs are for two firms that between them supply all the original grown advocados for a local area. With vigorous competition between the firms, the price per pound has settled at a point where both firms are just breaking even. For each firm, the marginal cost (mc) average variable cost (avc) and average total (atc) curves are shown In the blank graph below, use the straight line tool to draw a straight line representing the short run market supply curve for quantities above zero. (that is Dont worry about operating points for which the quantity is zero)

Consider the market for ice cream. Suppose that this market is perfectly competitive. The cost structure of the typical ice cream producer is as follows. Average total cost is equal to 50 1 1 ATC(Q) +÷Q, average variable cost is equal to AVC(Q) =;Q, and marginal cost is equal to 2 MC(Q) = Q. Now, suppose that a new scientific study comes out that shows that soil pollution from rock salt (a key input for making ice cream) is extremely hazardous to human health. In response, the government decides to impose harsh re-zoning restrictions on any land once used for making ice cream. This reduces the market rent for land used to make ice cream, which in turn lowers the opportunity cost of operating an ice cream factory. This reduction in the opportunity cost of capital causes the total fixed cost of ice cream production to fall to 32, but there is no change to variable cost. Give formulas for the typical ice cream producer's new average total cost curve ATC(Q) and marginal cost curve MC(Q).
depict a ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits(π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determinewhether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
Flora sells flowers in a perfectly competitive market. These cost functions represent her daily cost functions. TC = 100 + 0.50 + .2502 MC = 0.5 + 0.50 The current price is $9.50 Determine the profit/loss for Flora. Round to the penny. Suppose this is Flora's daily cost functions. This (profit/loss) value is expected to be constant for the next two weeks.What advice you would give her for these next two weeks related to running her business? Explain why.

Window cleaning is a perfectly competitive market in Boston. The daily market demand for window cleaning in Boston is Q(P) = 360 ‒ 4P, where Q represents the daily number of houses served and P is the price per house; and (2) the current market price per house served is 30. Each window-cleaning firm faces a daily total cost of TC(q) 72+ 1/2 q2, where q represents the number of houses served per day. What is the current daily profit for each window-cleaning firm?
