Question 21 Average fixed cost decreases as quantity increases. True False
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.

Problem 2. Restaurants in Baltimore operate under a total cost function TC(q) = 3q + 5q^2 + 30 Which part of the cost is fixed cost and which part of the cost is variable cost? What is the marginal cost, MC? What is the average total cost, ATC? What is the average variable cost, AVC? In the long run, calculate the equilibrium price and restaurants’ profits. Below what price will restaurants shut down? (Hint: Consider the AVC.)
What is the term for the minimum level of output a firm must produce to cover its variable costs in the short run? a) Shutdown point b) Marginal cost point c) Average cost point d) Total cost point
Variable costs are Multiple Choice costs that remain to be paid even if the firm shuts down temporarily. costs that change every day or every month. costs that change with the level of production. changes in total cost due to the production of an additional unit of output.
