The firm should shut down if the market price equals? If the market price falls below $4.50, the firm will earn positive or negative economic profits?

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.

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…

QUESTION 8 Consider a firm operating in a competitive market. The firm is producing 50 units of output, has an average total cost of production equal to 7 dirhams, and is earning 350 dirhams economic profit in the short run. What is the current market price?
4. A printer paper manufacturer sells its highly standardized product in a perfectly competitive market, at a price of TL50 per box. The firm has a fixed cost of TL30. Fill in the following table and indicate the level of output that maximizes profit. Determine how the profit-maximizing choice of output would change if the fixed cost increased from TL40 to TL60? More generally, explain how the level of fixed cost affects the choice of output.

The OLS estimation of the relationship between GRADE and HOURS of studying gives the following fitted equation (standard errors in parentheses): GRADEA = 38.15+0.048*HOURS (6.85) (0.01) Calculate the corresponding t statistic to test the slope coefficient for significance (Use two decimal places without rounding)
A perfectly competitive firm faces the short-run cost schedule shown in Table 1. A) Assume market price declines to £9 per unit. If the firm’s average variable cost is £9.5, should the firm shut down in the short run? In the long run? Explain. B) If the firm is typical of other firms, what price will it charge in the long run? Explain.

Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve for the wheat industry. Specifically, place an orange point at the lowest point of the supply curve and another orange point at the highest point of the supply curve. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output, since this is the industry supply curve. Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) 2. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market.
