QUESTION 10 Jack sells water bottles. Assume the market for water bottles is perfectly competitive. Jack sells his water bottles at the market price of $9.00. At the profit-maximising output level of 51 water bottles, Jack's average total cost is $4.40 per water bottle. The minimum average variable cost is $3.90 per water bottle. Answer the following questions: a. Jack's economic profit or loss is decimal places (ie: to the nearest cent). (use a negative value if a loss). Answer in dollars, rounded to two b. State whether the following statement is true or false: "At the profit-maximising quantity, Jack is making an economic profit of $4.60 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false c. State whether the following statement is true or false: "Jack should shut down if the market price is $3.85 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false

Find marginal profit when marginal revenue is $90 and marginal cost $50
The graph below shows cost curves for a perfectly competitive firm. Price/Cost $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 0 10 20 30 Quantity MC 40 ATC AVC 50 At a price of $10, how many units will this firm produce if its goal is to maximize profit?
If a perfectly competitive firm's average total cost is less than the price, then the firm A) incurs an economic loss. B) makes an economic profit. C) makes zero economic profit. D) makes either zero economic profit or an economic profit depending on whether the marginal revenue is equal to or greater than the price. E) None of these answers is correct because the relationship between the price and average total cost has nothing to do with the firm's profit.
What quantity will the firm produce if it shuts down in the short run? What will be the profits if this firm shuts down? What quantity will the firm produce to minimize losses in the short run? If this firm chooses to operate at a loss, what will its profits equal? If the cost and revenue numbers in the table will continue permanently, what will this firm choose to do?
After selling 1,000 three-ring binders Tony DiFulvio realizes that the marginal revenue from selling the last binder was less than the marginal cost. From this we can conclude that Tony's profit would be greater if he sold an additional three-ring binder. Tony should shut down his business temporarily. Tony's business earns a short-run economic profit. Tony's profit fell after selling his 1,000th three-ring binder.
