For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of lamps this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero lamps and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price.

The curves show the marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) functions for a firm in a competitive market. Use the area tool to draw the area representing the maximum profit the firm could earn—that is, the profit the firm would earn if it produced the optimal quantity.

Suppose Kevin runs a small business that manufactures teddy bears. Assume that the market for teddy bears is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per teddy bear. The following graph shows Kevin's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for teddy bears quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Kevin produces. Calculate Kevin's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven teddy bears he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity. Kevin's profit is maximized when he produces ___ teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is ___ , which is (greater/less) than the price Kevin receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is,…
After serving as President of the United States for eight years, Dena has retired from politics and has decided to become a wheat farmer. The market for wheat is perfectly competitive and the current market price for wheat is $10 per bushel. Dena is currently producing 8 bushels (Dena can only produce this good in whole units). Her total cost at 8 units of output is $88 and her variable cost at 8 units of output is $64. Dena knows that if she produces a 9th unit her total cost will become $97, and if she produces a 10th unit her total cost will become $110. Dena’s goal is to maximize her profits. Based on this information, identify whether each of the following would be true or false and briefly explain your reasoning. Dena is currently losing money in the short-run and she would be better off if she shutdown and produced zero. Dena is not currently profit maximizing at 8 units of output and she could increase her profits if she expanded output by one unit. Dena would increase her…

Katie's Quilts is a small retailer of quilts and other bed linen products. Katie currently purchases quilts from a large producer for $60 each and sells them in her store at a price that does not change with the number of quilts that she sells. Katie is considering vertically integrating by making her own quilts. If the fixed cost of vertically integrating is $10,000 and she can produce quilts at $50 per quilt, her total cost of producing quilts, q, herself is C= 10,000+ 50g. How many quilts does Katie need to sell for vertical integration to be a profitable decision? For vertical integration to be profitable, Katie must sell at least quilts. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
