e) Suppose that a competitive firm's marginal cost of producing output q is given by MC(q) -3+2q. Assume that the market price of the firm's product is $9. i) What level of output will the firm produce? (2p) ii) What is the firm's producer surplus? (4p) ii) Suppose that the average variable cost of the firm is given by AVC(g)-3+q. Suppose that the firm's fixed costs are known to be $3. Will the firm be earning a positive, negative, or...

Portia owns and manages a sporting apparel company. Consider the given average cost (AC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC) curves for track suits. All but the MC curve have been placed incorrectly. Portia knows that the minimum average cost for a track suit is $7 and the minimum of average variable cost is $5. Rearrange the AC and AVC curves so that they are consistent with the marginal cost curve. If the average fixed cost curve is...
