The short-run marginal and average cost curves for a firm are displayed below. When q = q 5, the marginal cost is $3. When q = 5, the average cost is $5. Assume the firm has a fixed cost of $5 and they can sell each unit of output at a price of $3 (p = 3). What is the profit- maximizing level of output for the firm in the short-run? Profit maximizing q = = 2 and

Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. There are 18 firms in the market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=538+2q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=2+2q. Market demand is Q=488-P. What is the quantity produced by each firm in the short-run?
For the pizza seller whose marginal, average variable, and average total cost curves are shown in the graph below, what is the profit-maximizing level of output and how much profit will this producer earn if the price of pizza is $1.50 per slice?Instructions: In the graph below, label all three curves by clicking on the dropdown to select the appropriate label. Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to include a negative sign (−). When the price is $1.50 per slice, the profit-maximizing level of output is slices per day. Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places). At the profit-maximizing level of output, the producer's profit is: $ per day.

What is the firm’s total variable cost at this level of output? $ e. What is the firm’s fixed cost at this level of output? $ f. What is the firm’s profit if it produces this level of output? Instructions: If the firm is taking a loss, enter this as negative (−) profits. $ g. What is the firm’s profit if it shuts down? Instructions: If the firm is taking a loss, enter this as negative (−) profits. $ h. In the short run, should this firm continue to operate or shut down?
A firm's short-run production function is q=3L0.2 , while its cost function is C = 2L. Furthermore, the firm can sell its output in a perfectly competitive market at p = 40. 6.1 Find the value of the firm’s profit when L = 50 . 6.2 Calculate the level of L that satisfies the first-order condition for profit maximization. 6.3 Calculate the value of the second order derivative (SOD) that ensures profit is being maximised at the value of L found in 6.2 .
