- COnsider the following firm in a competitive market: total cost= 50+.5Q Q= Quantity What is its fixed cost? what is its variable cost?The accompanying graph depicts the cost curves of an individual firm in a perfectly (or purely) competitive industry.A perfectly competitive firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC on the rising portion of the firm’s marginal cost curve. At that output level, it has the following costs and revenues: TC = $830,000 VC = $525,000 TR = $428,000 Given that the firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC, calculate the amount of profit (loss) this firm earns. is it Profit=TR-TC?
- Consider the market for ice cream. Suppose that this market is perfectly competitive. The cost structure of the typical ice cream producer is as follows. Average total cost is equal to 50 1 1 ATC(Q) +÷Q, average variable cost is equal to AVC(Q) =;Q, and marginal cost is equal to 2 MC(Q) = Q. Now, suppose that a new scientific study comes out that shows that soil pollution from rock salt (a key input for making ice cream) is extremely hazardous to human health. In response, the government decides to impose harsh re-zoning restrictions on any land once used for making ice cream. This reduces the market rent for land used to make ice cream, which in turn lowers the opportunity cost of operating an ice cream factory. This reduction in the opportunity cost of capital causes the total fixed cost of ice cream production to fall to 32, but there is no change to variable cost. Give formulas for the typical ice cream producer's new average total cost curve ATC(Q) and marginal cost curve MC(Q).The graph below shows a particular firms marginal revenue (mr) marginal cost (mc) and average total cost (atc) curves, where the market is competitive. Suppose that a new management team is brought in and that this team is initially less concerned about maximizing profits than it is simply about making a profit. What range of production quantities will allow the firm to operate while earning a profit? Give you're answer by dragging the qmin to Qmax lines into their correct positions. The output will need to lie somewhere between those limits.Consider the following graph of the average and marginal cost functions for a firm in a perfectly competitive market. At a price of P=10: (iii) the marginal cost of production is . (iv) the firm's total profit is . (v) the firm's variable profit is .
- If the price was given what is the formula equation to figure the "profit-maximizing quantity of output" for a perfectly competitive firm?Consider the perfectly competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves for a typical firm in the industry.If the short-run marginal and average variable cost curves for a competitive firm are given by SMC = 2 + 4Q and AVC = 2 + 3Q, how many units of output will it produce at a market price of 34? Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Q= At what level of fixed cost will this firm earn zero economic profit? $
- Using the following table, for each price level, calculate the optimal quantity of units for the firm to produce. Using the data from the graph to determine the firm’s total variable cost, calculate the profit or loss associated with producing that quantity. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will choose to produce. (Hint: Select purple points [diamond symbols] on the graph to receive exact average variable cost information.)
