Use the figure to select all the correct statements. $ A B Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 Q5 Q6 OA. The distance between Curve A and Curve B shows the average profit of the firm at any given quantity of output. B. Curve A shows the total cost function of the firm. OC. The slope of the tangent line for Curve B when the quantity is Q2 is the marginal profit of the firm when output is Q2. OD. Curve B shows the total cost function of the firm. O E. The distance between Curve B and X-axis is the firm's total revenue at any given quantity of output.

Consider the following costs of a typical firm in a purely competitive industry. The firm has no fixed costs (average total cost = average variable cost). Average Total Cost Quantity Marginal Cost 1 $28.00 2 20.50 $13.00 3 16.67 9.00 4 15.25 11.00 16.00 19.00 6 18.83 33.00 a. Given only the information available, what would you expect product price to be in the long run? O $11.00 O $19.00 O $16.00 O $15.25 b. What would you expect price to be in the short run? O $9.00 O $13.00 O $11.00 O $19.00
The optimal output rule for a perfectly competitive firm is to produce that quantity where A. P = MC in the long run, but in the short run to produce that quantity where MC = %3D ATC. O B. MC = ATC in the short run. C. P = MC no matter what the time period, provided that price is greater than average variable cost. D. P = MC no matter what the time period, provided that price is greater than %3D average total cost.

If the price faced by a perfectly competitive firm is equal to $60, then this firm will earn profits of......if it maximizes profits. p = $60 AVC
