The owner of Tie-Dved T-shirts, a perfectly competitive firm, hires you to give him economic advice. He tells you that the market price for his shirts is $S15 and that he is currently producing 200 shirts at an AVC of $10 and an ATC of $20. What would you recommend that he do? Tell him that you cannot make any recommendations until you know what his fixed costs are. O b. Continue producing in the short run, as his loss from production is less than his fixed costs, but exit the industry in the long run if there are no changes in economic conditions. O c Shut down in the short run, as he is incurring a loss, and leave the industry in the long run, if there are no changes in economic conditions O d. Continue to produce in the short run, even though he is earning a loss, and expand production in the future hoping to increase market share and total revenue.

Price B 0 TI m Total costs Quantity Total variable costs Total fixed costs Refer to the above graph. If the firm is producing at Q₁, the area OADQ, represents: Average total costs MC Average variable costs ATC AVC
In perfect competition, if the marginal cost increases which way does the curve shift? what are some things that would increase the marginal cost curve and if the MC curve shifts then does the ATC curve?
Consider the graph below for a firm. At point T, we know that the firm K TC = Total Cost; Q=f(K, L); 100 E 70 Q, =100 TC, L 60 80 A. Is a cost minimizer but not technical efficient. B. Is a cost minimizer. O C. Is technical inefficient and a not a cost minimizer. O D. Is technical efficient but not a cost minimizer. E. None of the above.
depict a ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits(π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determinewhether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
