The table above shows the total cost function for a typical firm producing hats in a perfectly competitive market. The market price for hats is $9 per hat. (a) Calculate the average variable cost of the fifth unit. Show your work. (b) What is the firm’s profit-maximizing quantity of hats? Explain using marginal analysis. (c) If the rent of the building the firm occupies increases, what will happen to the firm’s profit-maximizing quantity of hats in the short run? Explain. (d) Draw a correctly labeled graph showing the firm’s demand and marginal cost curves, and show the profit-maximizing quantity of hats, labeled Q*.
