Suppose that the market for sports watches is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. PRICE (Dolars per w 100 0 @ ATC Price (Dollars per watch) QUANTITY (Thousands of watches) For each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (Hint: You can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.)

Suppose that your friend operates a pizza restaurant in the building he owns. Similar buildings in the neighborhood rent for $4,000 per month. He is considering selling the building and renting space in the suburbs for $3,000 a month, but he decides not take the move. He reasons: “ I would like to have a restaurant in the suburbs, but I pay no rent for my restaurant now, I do not want to see my costs rise by $3,000 per month”. What do you think about his reasoning? Is his reasoning correct?

Graph the average and marginal cost curves for gumballs assuming v=3, w=5
Suppose that the market for microwave ovens is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market.
The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity-0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to drawit.

The following graph plots daily cost curves for a firm operating in the competitive market for demin overalls. Hint: Once you have positioned the rectangle on the graph, select a point to observe its coordinates. PRICE (Dollars per overalls) 50 10 10 5 0 MC 2 ATC 8 18 QUANTITY (Thousands of overallises per day) AVC 10 20 Profit or Loss In the short run, given a market price equal to $15 per overalls, the firm should produce a daily quantity of On the preceding graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to fill in the area that represents profit or loss of the firm given the market price of $15 and the quantity of production from your previous answer. Note: In the following question, enter a positive number regardless of whether the firm earns a profit or incurs a loss. The rectangular area represents a short-run thousand per day for the firm. $ overallses.

Douglas Fur is a small manufacturer of fake-fur boots in San Diego. The following table shows the company’s total cost of production at various production quantities. On the following graph, plot Douglas Fur’s average total cost (ATC) curve using the green points (triangle symbol). Next, plot its average variable cost (AVC) curve using the purple points (diamond symbol). Finally, plot its marginal cost (MC) curve using the orange points (square symbol). (Hint: For ATC and AVC, plot the points on the integer; for example, the ATC of producing one pair of boots is $210, so you should start your ATC curve by placing a green point at (1, 210). For MC, plot the points between the integers: For example, the MC of increasing production from zero to one pair of boots is $90, so you should start your MC curve by placing an orange square at (0.5, 90).) Note: Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.
