1. Use the figure below to answer the following true/false
questions (Explain why the answer is true or false): e. Total fixed
costs for this firm are roughly $100. f. If market price is $15,
the firm sells 80 units and makes a normal profit. What is the
output that maximizes the firm’s profit?
(e) False.
Total fixed costs for this firm are roughly $240
From the figure, ATC for 80 units = $15. Thus, total cost = 80*15 = $1200
and AVC for 80 units is roughly around $12. Thus, total variable cost = 80*12 = $960
Fixed cost = Total cost - total variable cost = $240
(f) True.As total revenue is equal to total cost for a market price of $15 and output of 80 units.
The firm's profit is maximized for output of 60 units where MC=AVC
