Suppose Eleanor runs a small business that manufactures teddy bears. Assume that the market for teddy bears is a competitive market, and themarket price is $20 per teddy bear.The following graph shows Eleanor'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 throughseven (inclusive) that Eleanor produces.200175Total Revenue150Total Cost125Profit100755025-2512378QUANTITY (Teddy bears)TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars) Calculate Eleanor's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven teddy bears she produces, and plot them on the following graph.

When she does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear she produces is, which isv than the price Eleanor receives for each teddy bear she sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddybear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize her profit) is S|, which isv than the price Eleanor receives for each teddybear she sells. Therefore, Eleanor's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of thev curves. Because Eleanor is a price taker, this last condition can also be written asCOSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per teddy bear)은

Figure: Cost Curves for Corn Producers Price, cost of bushel $30 26 MC 22 18 ATC AVC 14 10 1 3 4 7 Quantity of corn (bushels) Reference: Ref 12-3 (Figure: Cost Curves for Corn Producers) Look at the figure Cost Curves for Corn Producers. The market for corn is perfectly competitive. If the price of a bushel of corn is $10, in the short run, the farmer will produce of corn and earn an ec omic equal to 2 bushels; profit; $0 2 bushels; loss; just more than $80 per bushel 3 bushels; profit; loss, -$15 4 bushels; profit; just less than $80 per bushel
Suppose Sophia sells flowers in a perfectly competitive market and always maximizes profit. (a) Given the current market price is $5, Sophia sells 2000 flowers every week and makes zero profit. What are the amounts of marginal revenue, marginal cost and average total cost at this level of output? Briefly explain. (b) Continued from (a), if the market demand decreases, what will be the short-run impact on Sophia’s profit? Explain in detail with diagrams.
