a purely competitive firm finds that the market price for its product is $30 it has a fixed cost of $100 and a variable cost of $15 per unit for the first 50 units and then $35 per unit for all successive units. what is the average variable cost for the first 100 units? what output level will yield the largest possible profit for this purely competitive firm?
1) A perfectly competitive firm sells 200 units at a market price of $40 per unit. Its marginal cost is $50, and it incurs a variable cost of $10,000. To improve its profit or loss situation, this firm should ? a) shut down b) raise the price to $45 per unit c. reduce output but not to zero d. increase output sold to 300 units e. continue to produce the present level of output
A purely competitive firm finds that the market price for its product is $30.00. It has a fixed cost of $100.00 and a variable cost of $17.50 per unit for the first 50units and then $35.00 per unit for all successive units.Does price exceed average variable cost for the first 50 units?
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $ 12 12 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1 comma 800 1,800 units. If the firm produces 1 comma 800 1,800 units, its average variable costs equal $ 7.00 7.00 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $ 1.00 1.00 per unit. What is the firm's profit-maximizing (or...
The graph presents the costs and revenue for a perfectly (purely) competitive firm, where the market price is equal to $600 per unit of output. This firm has a fixed cost equal to $3,600. Use this information to determine the optimal output and profit for this firm. What is the optimal output of this perfectly (purely) competitive firm? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Cost and revenue $2400 2200 2000 1800 Average 1600 total cost Marginal cost Average...
A firm in a perfectly competitive industry is currently producing 150 units of output at a price of $55 per unit. If marginal cost is equal to $50 and profit is equal to $500 at that level of output, what should the firm do, if anything, to maximize profit?
Suppose that in a perfectly competitive market, the market price is $10. A firm in that market has marginal cost of $10, average total cost of $12, and it is producing 100 units. The firm is earning 51.000 in total economic profits and is maximizing economic profits. earning $200 in total economic profits and is maximizing economic profits. incurring $200 in total economic losses and is minimizing economic losses earning zero total economic profits and is not maximizing economic profits
Quest Exhibit 10-2 A monopolistic competitive firm Price, costs, and revenue (dollars) 10 100 200 300 400 500 Quantity of output (units per week) Comparing the monopolistically competitive firm in Exhibit 10-2 to the long-run profit-maximizing outcome for a perfectly comp form with a price of $15 per unit and a quantity of 600, a. the profit earned by the monopolistically competitive firm is higher than that of the perfectly competitive firm the marginal revenue of the monopolistically competitive firm...
In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm produces output using capital services (a fixed input) and labour services (a variable input). At its profit-maximizing level of output, the marginal product of labour is equal to the average product of labour. a. What is the relationship between this firm's average variable cost and its marginal cost? O Average variable cost is higher than marginal cost O Average variable cost equals marginal cost O Average variable cost is less than marginal...
The figure below provides the cost curves for a firm in a
perfectly competitive market.
If the price market price is $16, what is the profit maximizing
level of output for the firm? How much profit does this firm earn
at this level of output?
Given your answer in part a, explain what will happen to this
industry in the long run.
