Assume that a firm in a competitive market faces the following cost information. If the market price for this firm's product is $40, calculate the profit maximizing level of output for this firm using marginal analysis. It may help to create your own cost table and fill in columns for Marginal Cost and Average Total Cost based on the Total Cost information below.  a.What is the level of profit for this firm at the profit maximizing output?  b.To convince yourself that the quantity you found is indeed the profit maximizing quantity, try calculating what the profit would be at the next higher level of output. What did you find?  c. What do you predict will happen in this market over the long run?
The following graph plots the marginal cost (MC) curve, average total cost (ATC) curve, and average variable cost (AVC) curve for a firm operating in the competitive market for sun lamps. COSTS (Della) 72 04 8 56 24 16 . 0 Price (Dollars per lamp) MOD 8 12 36 48 60 10 ATC AVC 40 00 QUANTITY (Thousands of lamps) For every price level given in the following table, use the graph to determine the profit-maximizing quantity of lamps for the firm. Further, select whether the firm will choose to produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. (Assume that when price exactly equals average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero lamps and the profit-maximizing quantity of lamps.) Lastly, determine whether the firm will earn a profit, incur a loss, or break even at each price. Quantity (Lamps) ? Produce or Shut Down? Profit or Loss?
Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Caroline runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt.     The following graph shows Caroline's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Caroline produces.         Caroline's profit is maximized when she produces______ shirts. When she does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt she produces is ______, which is (GREATER OR LESS)   than the price Caroline receives for each shirt she sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional shirt (that is, one more shirt than would maximize her profit) is _____, which is  (GREATER OR LESS)  than the price Caroline receives for each shirt she sells. Therefore, Caroline's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the…
