3. A firm in a perfectly competitive market will produce no output in the short run if the price is below $18 but will produce if the price is above $18. The smallest quantity they will produce in the short run is 8. Firms will earn 0 economic profit if the price is $74 and its profit maximizing quantity is 12 at that price. The firm’s fixed cost is $576. Assume the good can be produced in continuous quantities. Draw...
