The curves show the marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) functions for a firm in a competitive market. Use the area tool to draw the area representing the maximum profit the firm could earn—that is, the profit the firm would earn if it produced the optimal quantity. Your answer should be a rectangle drawn with four corners.
The curves show the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) functions for a firm in a competitive market. Using the straight-line tool, draw a straight line, all the way from the left edge of the graph to the right edge, to represent the minimum price at which the firm should continue operating.
The graph to the right shows the Marginal Cost (MC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Revenue (MR) curves for a perfectly (or purely) competitive firm. Note that the Demand (D) curve is the same as the MR curve for such a MR/MC ($) firm. Assume that the cost curves here are representative of other firms in the industry. Given the current price, this firm will: earn a positive profit. earn a negative profit. earn zero economic profit. In the...
12.00 Lauren grows grapes. Her average variable cost (AVC), average total cost (ATC), and marginal cost (MC) of production are illustrated in the figure to the right. 11.00 Assume the market for grapes is perfectly competitive and that the market price is $2.00 per crate. MC Characterize Lauren's economic profits. Assume she produces such that she maximizes profits in the short run. ATC Using the rectangle drawing tool, shade in Lauren's economic profits. Attach the correct label to indicate whether...
The graph below shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a hazardous-waste removal firm that operates as a local monopoly. If the market quantity is 400 barrels, use the area tool to draw the rectangle that represents the firm's profits. Your answer should be a rectangle drawn with four corners.
Consider the competitive market for halogen lamps. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of lamps this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero lamps and the...
The top graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for an individual firm in a competitive commercial ridesharing market where the price has stabilized. In the blank graph below it, use the straight-line tool to draw the long-run market supply curve as a line from one edge of the graph to the other.
The graph below shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a supplier of bottled water to commercial buildings. The firm operates as a local monopoly. Use the area tool to draw the rectangle that represents the firm's profit if the market quantity is 7,000 bottles.Your answer should be a rectangle with four corners.

The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity = 0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to draw it.
The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopoly are shown in the figure below. The figure also shows the demand curve (D) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) for this market. Instructions: Use the tools provided to plot the profit-maximizing quantity (Q), the profit-maximizing price (P), the profit (Profit), and the deadweight loss (DWL). Note that the deadweight loss will be only approximate due to the curvature of the marginal cost curve....
