Sol :
Option (c) is correct (as long as price is above or below the Marginal cost)
because of the following points :
When will a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market always make marginal adjustments to production? Select...
A profit-maximizing firm with market power will always produce a level of output where a. demand is elastic. b. demand is inelastic. c. price is greater than average total cost. d. marginal revenue 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
In the long run, a profit-maximizing monopolistically competitive firm sets it price Multiple Choice above marginal cost. below marginal cost. equal to marginal revenue equal to marginal cost.
At its current level of production, a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market receives $15 for each unit it produces and faces an average total cost of $10. At the market price of S15 per unit, the firm's marginal cost curve crosses the marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1.300 units. What is the fim's current profit? What is likely to occur in this market and why?
At its current level of production a profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market receives $10 for each unit it produces and faces an average total cost of $12.5. At the market price of $10 per unit, the firm's marginal cost curve crosses the marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1,000 units. What is the firm's current profit? What is likely to occur in this market and why?
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.
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...
Which of the following is true with respect to a perfectly competitive firm? It will make small economic profits always or go out of business A perfectly competitive firm has a perfectly inelastic demand curve At profit maximization the perfectly competitive firm operates where total revenue is maximized as well The perfectly competitive firms supply curve is its marginal cost curve above AVC All of the above are true with respect to a perfectly competitive firm Question 5 1 pts...
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.
