In the short-run, if the marginal cost of a firm in a competitive industry is increasing while its average variable cost is downward sloping, what can you say about slope of average total cost?
Show the effect of diminishing returns on the marginal and average cost curves of a firm in the short-run. (be sure to explain your diagrams)
The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a
competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical
axis (quantity-0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to drawit.

- According to the accompanying table, what quantity of output should the firm produce? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardSuppose you are operating a firm with a given fixed cost and product market price. If the market for your product is perfectly competitive, how will you determine your marginal cost, marginal revenue and average revenue? Explain with the help of an example.arrow_forwardAre my answers right? I don't know if I'm doing this right.arrow_forward
- Explain why it is not economical for a firm to operate under increasing returns and negative returns.arrow_forwardExplain why a firm carries on production in short run even if it makes negative profit. Use well labeled diagrams to support your explanation.arrow_forwardFor the following, decide whether you agree or dis-agree and explain your answer: a. A firm earning positive profits in the short run always has an incentive to increase its scale of operation in the long run. b. A firm suffering losses in the short run will continue to operate as long as total revenue at least covers fixed cost.arrow_forward
- Given the following Information about a competitive firm's costs, calculate marginal cost and then answer three questions. Instructions: Enter your responses as a whole number. If you are entering any negative numbers be sure to include a negative sign (-) In front of those numbers. Output (Units) Total Cost Marginal Cost 10 $50 11 52 $ 2 12 56 $ 4 13 62 $ 6 14 70 $ 8 15 80 $ 10 16 92 $ 12 17 106 $ 14 18 122 $ 16 19 140 $ 18 a. If the prevailing market price is $12 per unit, how much should the firm produce? 16 units b. How much profit will it earn at that output rate? 100 c. If the firm Increases output by 1 unit, the firm will make more profit.arrow_forwardExplain in your own words why in the short run a firm may continue to produce even at a loss provided the price is more than the average variable cost. Also, provide an example of when a firm might face this decision.arrow_forwardThinking on the Margin to Increase Profitability Have you ever walked into a restaurant for lunch and found it almost empty? Why, you might ask, does the restaurant even bother to stay open? It might seem that the revenue from so few customers could possible cover the cost of running the restaurant. Provide an opinion using the concepts of sunk costs, marginal cost and marginal revenue.arrow_forward
