You are one of 5 identical firms (i. e., you all have the same costs) that sell widgets. Each day you have a fixed cost of $9 to operate. The marginal cost of your first widget is $1; second is $2; third $3; fourth $7; and for the fifth it is $8. You have a capacity constraint of 5, and you can only produce a whole number of widgets. Part 2 The AVC for a firm that produces 2 widgets is $ enter your response here. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places as needed)
Consider a competitive firm with total costs given by T C(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2. The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Graph the AT C, AV C, MC, and MR curves in a single graph, and indicate the profit maximizing level of output. If there are profits, shade the region corresponding to profit and label it. (b) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, what happens to the profit maximizing level of output, T R, T C, and π? (c) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, should the firm continue to operate in the short-run? What about the long-run?
An industry with many stores offer laminating as a service to their customers. Suppose that each store that offers this service has a cost function C(q)=50+0.5q+0.08q2 and a marginal costMC=0.5+0.16q. Suppose the going rate for laminating is R8.50 per sleeve which each store is compelled to charge. 1. Is the industry in long run equilibrium? Use calculations to either prove or disprove your findings.
Only typed solution
Only typed answer and please answer correctly It is possible to lower the average cost of production by expanding output beyond Q0 to Q1. Why wouldn't a firm expand its output to Q1? Group of answer choices a) Demand is not sufficient for consumers to buy Q1. b) The firm would suffer an economic loss at Q1 while it would break even at Q0. c) The firm's marginal revenue would be negative at Q1. d) The firm wants to maximize accounting profit rather than economic profit.
