Answer to the question no. a:
In teh short run a firm produces even if it incurs loss as long as it can cover its AVC. When the price falls below the AVC, the firm decides to shut down and exit from the market. So, in this case the AVC is 10 and the market price is 9, meaning that AVC>Price. Thus, the firm will exit from the market and shut down its operation.
Answer to the question no. b and c:
We have the following information:
Quantity | Price | TC | MC |
1 | 40 | 64 | ---- |
2 | 40 | 80 | 80-64=16 |
The total revenue is Price x Quantity. Thus, when the output is 1, the Toal Revenue is 40 x 1=40.
Again, when the output is 2, the Toal Revenue is 40 x 2=80
Now, the MC can be found using the following formula as:
Using this formula we have found the MC. The MC at Q=2 is 16.
Hope, I solved your query. Gve good fedback.

Problem 3 [24 marks] A competitive firm uses two inputs, capital (k) and labour (), to produce one output, (y). The price of capital, W, is S1 per unit and the price of labor, wi, is SI per unit. The firm operates in competitive markets for outputs and inputs, so takes the prices as given. The production function is f(k,l) 3k025/025. The maximum amount of output produced for a givern amount of inputs is y(k, l)...

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...
9.7 Newsprint (the paper used for newspapers) is produced in a perfectly competitive market. Each identical firm has a total variable cost TVC(Q) = 40Q+ 0.5Q2, with an associated marginal cost curve SMC(Q) = 40 + Q. A firms’s fixed cost is entirely nonsunk and equal to 50. (a) Calculate the price below which the firm will not produce any output in the short run. (b) Assume that there are 12 identical firms in this industry. Currently, the market demand...

PART II. Problems 1. Suppose the market for canola oil is perfectly competitive. There are 1.000 firms in the market, each of which have a fixed cost of FC = 2 and a marginal cost of MC = 1 + q, where q is the quantity produced by an individual firm. Let s denote the total quantity supplied in the market. The market demand for canola oil is given by Qd = 15, 250 - 250P....
