(b) What must be satisfied (in the general case) for a firm to be maximizing profit in the short run? (That is, what condition must hold at the profit-maximizing output level for a general firm in the short run?)
In the short run, a firm that finds itself earning a loss should compare the market price to which cost in order to determine whether or not to shut-down? Question 16 options: a Average total costs b Average variable costs c Marginal costs d Fixed costs
Required information The following figure shows the costs for a perfectly competitive producer: AVC, ATC, MC $46 235 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 MC 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 ATC AVC Output per period Refer to the above figure to answer this question. If the price of the product is $10, what is the profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output?
a.Suppose a perfectly competitive firm can produce10000 bushels of corn a year at an output at which marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. The market price of corn per bushel is $2. The firm's total costs per year are $30000 and fixed costs per year are $15000. Show and explain which of the following is true: In the short run, this firm should a) Produce 20000 bushels to try to increase economic profit. b) Produce 10000 bushels of corn because, although they are losing money, they are losing less than if they shut down. c)Shut down. d) Continue producing until the price of corn increases. b.A perfectly competitive firm, with MC=q operates in a market character,zed by the following market demand and supply conditions: Demand: Q=20000-100P Supply: Q=100P How much output does this competitive firm produce to maximize profit? Show your work graphically and algebraically.
What is the correct answer? In pure competition, if the market price of the product is lower than the minimum average total cost of the firms, then A. some firms will enter the industry and the industry supply will increase B. other firms will exit the industry and the industry supply will decrease C. some firms will exit the industry and the industry supply will increase D. other firms will enter the industry and the industry supply will decrease
