1. Option E.
FC = AFC*Q = 10*2 = 20
AFC at Q= 5, AFC = 20/5 = 4
2. Option D
Because the firm’s output can be substituted by other firms
output
3. Option A
As average fixed cost becomes negligible, average variable cost
approaches the average total cost
4. Option C.
MC=11, is at Q=8, So that it continues to produce where MC=MR =9,
Q=6

need help with 5 and 6 Suppose a perfectly competitive firm's cost function is C(q)-4q*+16. Marginal cost for the firm is given by MC=8q. 1) Find equations for variable cost, fixed cost, average total cost, average variable cost and average fixed cost for this firm. Illustrate on a graph the firm's average variable cost curve, average total cost curve, and marginal cost curve. 2) Find the outputs that minimize average total cost, average variable cost and average fixed cost. 3)...
please answer all 16. To say that a firm is a price taker means that: a. the firm's demand curve is perfectly inelastic b. the firm's marginal revenue curve is downward sloping c. the firm's average total cost curve is horizontal d. the firm can alter its output without influencing price e. all of the above 17. In a perfectly competitive market, the demand curve facing the firm is: a. identical to the market demand curve b. perfectly clastic even...
price is less than the average variable cost and the marginal cost must be falling O marginal cost is greater than marginal revenue. All this is contingent upon the conditions that the price is less than the average total cost and the marginal cost must be falling D Question 12 5 pts The demand curve of a typical firm in monopolistic competition is: O upward-sloping and less-elastic (steeper) than a perfectly competitive firm's demand curve. O downward-sloping and less-elastic than...
The figure given below shows the average fixed cost (AFC) and the average variable cost (AVC) curves of a competitive firm.

ATC AVC The figure above represents a firm's marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost curves. The firm operates in a perfectly competitive market. Copy this figure into your assignment and indicate the firm's short-run market supply curve.
Suppose a perfectly Competitive firms minimum average variable cost is $1 when it produces 50. If the price is $2 and the firm's marginal cost is $2 the firm should Continue to produce, but produce less than 50 Continue to operate, but produce more than 50 Shut down Continue to produce 50 To maximize economic profit of perfectly competitive firm: will sell its goods below the market price all of the above will sell its goods above the market price...

You will shut-down in the short run if a. P>AVC b. P<AVC c. P>AFC d. P>AFC 29. Which one the following is not a characteristics of a perfectly competitive firm. a. Identical product b. Too many sellers and buyers c. Differentiated product d. Free entry and...
When the price of a perfectly competitive firm's output rises: a. the firm will produce less. b. the firm will produce more. c. the firm's marginal cost curve will shift to the left. d. the firm's marginal cost curve will shift to the right.
