1. A monopolistic firm produces at the point where MR= MC. The corresponding price charged is P1 while the corresponding cost is C1. Since the ATC curve lies above the price charged, the firm is incurring losses. The operating loss is presented by the black rectangle.
2. The firm should not continue production/ operation. This is so because at the equilibrium quantity, the firm is not even able to cover its variable cost (the AVC curve lies above price). This implies the firm should shut down.

Consider a competitive rm with total costs given by TC(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2, The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Write expressions for total revenue TR and marginal revenue MR as functions of output q. (b) Write expressions for average total cost ATC, average variable cost AVC, and marginal cost MC as functions of output q. (c) For what value of output is ATC minimized? (d) Find the profit maximizing level of output q...
Price/Cost ($) 7) Monopoly II (6 points) The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopoly are shown in the figure below. The figure also shows the demand curve (D) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) for this market. 501 ATC AVC a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing level of output? Label this on the graph. b. What price will the monopolist charge for that level of output? Label this on the graph....

1. Draw two graphs. On the first, show the short-run profit maximizing output of an individual firm earning an economic profit, including MR, MC, AVC, and ATC. On the second, show the short-run market equilibrium price and quantity. Explain how the industry supply curve and the market equilibrium price and quantity are determined. 2. What is the relationship between the price on the two graphs? Why does this relationship exist? 3. Explain why a firm in a perfectly competitive industry...
