When a profit-maximizing competitive firm finds itself minimizing losses because it is unable to carn a positive profit this task is accomplished by producing the quantity at which price is equal to
a. sunk cost.
b. average fixed cost
c. average variable cost.
d. marginal cost
A perfectly competitive firm profit-maximizing condition are;
P=MC
Through this condition, cost minimizing quantity will be determined.
It means cost minimizing and profit-maximizing conditions are same.
Hence it can be said that cost minimizing condition will be accompolished when price is equal to MC.
Hence option d is the correct answer.
When a profit maximizing competitive firm finds itself minimizing losses because it is unable to carn...
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...
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?

18.)A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market should stop employing additional units of a factor when a.)marginal revenue of the factor is maximized b.)price of the product is greater than the marginal cost of the factor c.)marginal cost of employing the factor is minimized d.)value of the marginal product of the factor equals the price of the factor e.)marginal product of the factor is maximized 19.)A firm in a competitive market will employ additional capital until its value of the...
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.
The equilibrium price at which a perfectly competitive firm sells its good is $8. The profit-maximizing quantity of output is 200 units. At this quantity of output, the firm has an average fixed cost of $4 and an average variable cost of $s. In the short this perfectly competitive firm should
If a monopolistically competitive firm is producing the profit-maximizing level of output and is earning an economic profit in the short run: Select one: a. marginal revenue is less than marginal cost. b. price is less than average total costs. c. price is less than marginal cost. d. marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
When will a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market always make marginal adjustments to production? Select one: O a. as long as average revenue is greater than average total cost b. as long as average revenue is equal to marginal cost c. as long as price is above or below marginal cost O d. as long as marginal cost is greater than average total cost
If a competitive firm's marginal costs always increase with output, then at the profit maximizing output level, producer surplus is Select one: a. zero because marginal costs equal marginal revenue. b. zero because price equals marginal costs. c. positive because price exceeds average variable costs. d. positive because price exceeds average total costs. e. positive because revenues are increasing faster than variable costs
24. ته هن ف At its current output, a profit-maximizing firm finds that its price > marginal cost. If we do not know whether the firm is a monopoly or if it is perfectly competitive, then we can correctly say that this firm will increase production. this firm will decrease production. new firms will enter the market over time. this firm may be maximizing profit if it is perfectly competitive. this firm may be maximizing profit if it is a...
