Please explain the process to solve these A firm in a perfectly competitive industry is producing 1,000 units of output and earning total revenue of $55,000. If average total cost is equal to $60, marginal cost is equal to $55, and fixed costs are equal to $1,000 at that level of output, what should the firm do to maximize profit?

A firm operates in a perfectly competitive market with a price of P = 50 for the product. TVC = 0.5Q3 − 18Q2 + 170Q Q (output) TFC = 300. Write an equation expressing the firm’s total revenue (TR) as function of Q. Write an equation expressing the firm’s total cost (TC), as a function of Q. Write an equation expressing the firm’s profit (π), as a function of Q.Find the first-order condition for the firm’s profit-maximization decision. Find the...
Sonya and Leah operate a small firm in a perfectly competitive market, the diagram illustrates its MC, ATC, AVC and MR curves. 1. What is their current average revenue per unit? 2. What is their profit maximizing level of output and profit? 3. If the market clearing price drops to $10.00 per unit, should they continue to produce in the short run if they wish to maximize their economic profits (or minimize its economic losses)? Explain. 4. What is their...
The table below represents the output and cost structure for a firm. The market is perfectly competitive, and the market price is $10. Total costs include all implicit opportunity costs. Calculate the firm’s profit at each rate of output and fill in the values in the table. Calculate firm's marginal cost and marginal revenue at each rate of output and fill in the values in the table. Calculate the firm’s average total costs and average variable costs at each rate...
Suppose the inverse demand curve for a commodity in a perfectly competitive market takes the functional form: P (Q) = -.1Q + 10. Additionally, the firm’s marginal cost (MC) takes the following functional form: MC = 4 + 2Q. Recalling that a perfectly competitive firm is a price-taker in the market and its profit-maximizing output level (Qe) is always found by equating its price with its marginal cost: P = MC. Given all this, how much output (Qe) should the...
