The table shows a total-product schedule for a resource. Assume that the quantities of other resources the firm employs remain constant. If the firm can produce 24 units at a price of $1.00, 42 units at a price of $0.80, and 54 units at a price of $0.60, then the firm is
Multiple Choice
A) selling in a purely competitive market.
B) selling in an imperfectly competitive market.
C) minimizing its costs at a product price of $1.00.
D) maximizing profits at a product price of $0.60.
The firm is surely not in a perfect competition, in the perfect competition the demand is perfectly elastic so the price will be the same for what ever the quantity is produced. The firms maximize the profits where the marginal cost equal to the marginal revenue of the firm but here there is no information about the cost of the firm to find out whether the firm is maximizing the profit or not. Here the firm should be in a imperfective competition where the firms can change their price-output decision.
Ans: b). Selling in a imperfectly competitive market.

1.The Kees are small farmers in the wheat industry –they are price takers. Their cost function is: TC = 300,000 + 1,500Q + Q2 and MC = 1500 + 2Q. The market price is $3,000 per ton. Assuming the Kees are maximizing profits (or minimizing loses), how much profit are they making? 2.Good Grapes is selling organic grapes in a purely competitive market.
