a) P=68
Yes, the firm will produce
Profit maximizing output be setting P=MC = 9
Profit per unit = P-ATC = 68-50 =18
b) P=43
Yes, the firm will produce
Loss minimizing output = 6
Loss per unit = 43-47.5 = -4.5
c) P=34
No, the firm will not produce
Output = 0 units
Loss = -60
d)
P | QS-SINGLE FIRM | P/L | QS-1500 FIRMS |
24 | 0 | -60 | 0 |
29 | 0 | -60 | 0 |
34 | 0 | -60 | 0 |

57 | 8 | 70.96 | 12000 |
68 | 9 | 162 | 13500 |
e) Equilibrium price = 46
Equilibrium output = 10500
for each firm = 7
There would be a loss as P<ATC
Loss per unit = -1.14
Loss per firm = -7.98
This industry will contract in the long run
