Consider the following costs of a typical firm in a purely competitive industry. The firm has no fixed cost given only the available information, what would you except product price to be in the long run?
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 snapback hats. COSTS (Dollars) 100 100 80 90 80 20 70 70 HD 50 40 30 20 0 11 D 10 O MC Price (Dollars per snapback) 15 15 20 25 55 70 85 201 ATC 0 D AVC O 50 60 70 80 QUANTITY (Thousands of snapbacks) For every price level given in the following table, use the graph to determine the profit-maximizing quantity of snapbacks 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 snapbacks and the profit-maximizing quantity of snapbacks.) Lastly, determine whether the firm will earn a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price. □ Quantity (Snapbacks) BO 100 ▼ On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to…

Consider the perfectly competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves for a typical firm in the industry.
A friend has just started up her own business. Her firm asks you how much to charge for her product to maximize profits. The demand schedule for it is given by the first two columns in the table below; its total costs are given in the third column. For each level of output, you can calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. The profit-maximizing level of output can be found at the point where TR - TC is greatest, or where MR = MC, (or the last quantity where MR is still greater than MC.) What is the profit-maximizing level of output for her product? 40 How much will she earn in profits? 80 Price Quantity TC TR? MR?
