Many companies start with cost to determine price since revenue must cover cost for the firm to make a profit. True False
If a perfectly competitive firm's average total cost is less than the price, then the firm A) incurs an economic loss. B) makes an economic profit. C) makes zero economic profit. D) makes either zero economic profit or an economic profit depending on whether the marginal revenue is equal to or greater than the price. E) None of these answers is correct because the relationship between the price and average total cost has nothing to do with the firm's profit.
On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.
A profit-seeking firm should expand its output so long as: marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost price exceeds average total cost marginal cost is not rising average total cost is not rising
When the market price is equal to the minimum value of the average variable cost curve: a) the firm covers its fixed costs of production b) marginal cost is greater than average variable cost c) average cost is less than average variable cost d) marginal revenue equals average variable cost
Nathan runs a rare book store. Last year, he earned $35,000 in revenue and had explicit costs of $8,000. Nathan could have made $35,000 driving a boat in a water ski show and received an additional $5,000 if he had used the company's inputs in a different way. Calculate Nathan's economic profit. $
The next 6 questions relate to the following table. Calculate total revenue at a quantity of 5 units. (The table gives you Quantity, Price, and Total Costs, leaving the Total Revenue and Profit for you to calculate.) Quantity Price Total Revenue Total Cost Profit 0 70 0 1 70 60 2 70 120 3 70 180 4 70 300 5 70 410 Calculate profit at an output of 4 units. What is the highest profit possible? What is the profit maximizing level of output What is the profit maximizing price? Can you tell if this is the short run or long run? Explain.

The intersection of the average variable cost curve and the marginal cost curve, which shows the price where the firm would lack enough revenue to cover its variable costs, is called the: Shutdown point Equilibrium Profit Loss
The publisher of a magazine gives his staff the following information: Current price Current sales Current revenue Current total costs $2.00 per issue 150,000 copies per month $300,000 per month $450,000 per month He tells the staff, "Our costs are currently $150,000 more than our revenues each month. I propose to eliminate this problem by raising the price of the magazine to $3.00 per issue. This will result in our revenue being exactly equal to our cost." Refer to the table above, which of the following statements is correct? The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is perfectly elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is unit elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is perfectly inelastic.
A firm has the following revenue and cost functions. TR = 90 Q – Q2 TC = 2Q 2+ 30 Q Determine the quantity level at which the firm maximizes its total profit. (Hint: use marginal revenue = marginal cost rule)
3. Gazelle Corp, a sports shoe firm, is currently selling 800 pairs of a certain shoe per month. It is currently charging a price of £40, but this has recently been reduced from £45, because sales were only reaching 750 units per month. Its total costs are £28,000 per month, and these have risen £1500 due to the increase in sales. a) Derive the cost and demand functions for the firm, assuming these are both linear. b) Calculate the price elasticity of demand at the current price. c) Comment on the firm's existing strategy in terms of profit maximization, without doing any calculations. d) Calculate the profit-maximizing price and output. e) Calculate the amount of profit that the firm is currently foregoing.
