The given firm is a perfect competition
In perfect competition ,the profit maximising occurs where price and marginal cost intersect
Here the given price is $8 and profit maximisation output is 200 units
The shut down in perfect competition occurs if the equilibrium price is less than the average variable cost
But here the average variable cost is less as compare to price
so in the short run this perfect Competitive firm should operate

There is an equilibrium price of $60 in a perfectly competitive market for a good that can be produced in continuous quantities. One firm in this market has a marginal cost of $60 at q = 15. If this firm produces q =15, it has an economic profit of -$400. Which of the following statements are true? i) if the firm has fixed costs of $300, then q =15 is the profit maximizing quantity in the short run for this...

A perfectly competitive firm will earn a profit in the short run when it produces the profit-maximizing quantity of output and the price is: 1) greater than marginal cost. 2) less than marginal cost. 3) less than average variable cost. 4) greater than average total cost.
A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 100 units of output
A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market is currently producing 100 units of output. It has average revenue so $10, average total cost of $8 and fixed cost of $200. a. what is the profit?b. what is the marginal cost?c. what is its average variable cost?d. is the efficent scale of the firm more than, less than, or equal to 100 units?

7. A profit maximizing firm in a competitive market produces replica toy cars. Suppose the market price for replica toy cars decreases to $12. At the profit maximizing (loss minimizing) quantity of 20,000 toy cars, the ATC is equal to $15 and the AFC is equal to $5. Given these conditions the (x) firm will experience losses of $60,000 since price is less than average total cost. (y) the firm will continue to produce 20,000 toy cars since it would...

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
