Consider total cost and total revenue, given in the following table: In the final column, enter profit for each quantity. (Note: If the firm suffers a loss, enter a negative number in the appropriate cell.) Quantity Total Cost Marginal Cost Total Revenue Marginal Revenue Profit (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) (Dollars) 0 6 0 1 8 7 2 10 14 3 13 21 4 17 28 5 24 35 6 32 42 7 42 49 In order to maximize profit, how...
5. Consider total cost and total revenue given in the following table: a. Calculate profit for each quantity. How much should the firm produce to maximize profit? b. Calculate marginal revenue and marginal cost for each quantity. Graph them. (Hint: Put the points between whole numbers. For example, the marginal cost between 2 and 3 should be graphed at 2/½.) c. At what quantity do the curves in part b cross? How does this relate to your answer to part a.? d. Can you...

Consider total cost and total revenue given in the following: (Quantity/Total Cost/Total Revenue): (0/8/0), (1/9/8), (2/10/16), (3/11/24), (4/13/32), (5/19/40), (6/27/48), (7/37/56) Can you tell whether this firm is in a competitive industry? If so, can you tell whether the industry is in a long-run equilibrium? Isn't this firm a competitive industry since the price is equal to the marginal revenue? This is obviously a competitive industry because the average revenue is always the same. But the euqilibrium is not the...
3. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with...

Quantity of Fish (Pounds) Marginal Product (Pounds) Hours o N M LD On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to graph the fisherman's production function. A + Production Function + + +...
Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve.Place a block point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with that cost.Because this market...
7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for copper. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph.The following diagram shows the market demand for copper.Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market.
