T-Shirt Enterprises is selling in a purely competitive market. Its output is 300 units, which sell for $10 each. At this level of output, marginal cost is $1 and average variable cost is $1.50. The firm should: a. continue to produce 300 units. b. increase output. c. produce zero units of output. d. decrease output.
b. increase output
Explanation: A purely competitive firm maximizes profit when its marginal revenue is equal to the marginal cost. Here, marginal revenue = price = $10.
Marginal cost = $1
So, the firm should increase production to increase profit.

Farmer Bogus is selling his product in a purely competitive market. His output is 600 bushels which sell for $5 per bushel. At this level of output, marginal cost is $5, average total cost is $7and average variable cost is $6. Farmer Bogus should produce how many bushels of output?
1) A perfectly competitive firm sells 200 units at a market price of $40 per unit. Its marginal cost is $50, and it incurs a variable cost of $10,000. To improve its profit or loss situation, this firm should ? a) shut down b) raise the price to $45 per unit c. reduce output but not to zero d. increase output sold to 300 units e. continue to produce the present level of output
Farmer Bean is selling green beans in a purely competitive market. His output is 600 units, of which each has a marginal revenue of $3. What is his average revenue?
1.The Kees are small farmers in the wheat industry –they are price takers. Their cost function is: TC = 300,000 + 1,500Q + Q2 and MC = 1500 + 2Q. The market price is $3,000 per ton. Assuming the Kees are maximizing profits (or minimizing loses), how much profit are they making? 2.Good Grapes is selling organic grapes in a purely competitive market. Its output is 5000 pounds, which it sells for $5 a pound. At the 5000-pound level of output,...
Assume the Green Corporation is producing 25 units of output in a purely competitive market. The firm’s marginal revenue is $15. Its total fixed costs are $100 and its average variable cost is $3 at 25 units of output. This corporation is realizing an economic profit of $?
a purely competitive firm finds that the market price for its product is $30 it has a fixed cost of $100 and a variable cost of $15 per unit for the first 50 units and then $35 per unit for all successive units. what is the average variable cost for the first 100 units? what output level will yield the largest possible profit for this purely competitive firm?
The graph presents the costs and revenue for a perfectly (purely) competitive firm, where the market price is equal to $600 per unit of output. This firm has a fixed cost equal to $3,600. Use this information to determine the optimal output and profit for this firm. What is the optimal output of this perfectly (purely) competitive firm? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Cost and revenue $2400 2200 2000 1800 Average 1600 total cost Marginal cost Average...
D. the minimum point on its Mc Cu (3] The Ajax Manufacturing Company is selling in a purely competitive market. Its output is 100 units which sell at $4 each. At this level of output total cost is $600, total fixed cost is $100, and marginal cost is $4. The firm should: B. C. D. reduce output to about 80 units. expand its production. continue to produce 100 units. shutdown production.
A firm operating in a purely competitive environment is faced with a market price of $250. The firm’s total cost function (short run) is as follows: TC = 6000 + 400Q – 20Q2 + Q3 Should the firm produce at this price in the short run? If the market price is $300, what will total profits (losses) be if the firm produce 10 units of output? Should the firm produce at this price? If the market price is greater than...
24. In a competitive industry the market price of output is $24. A firm is producing that level of output at which average total cost is $30, marginal cost is $25, and average fixed cost is $5. In order to maximize profit (or minimize losses), the firm should a. increase output b. decrease output but keep producing. c. leave output unchanged. d. shut down 25. In long-run competitive equilibrium, a. economic profit is zero. b. P LMC. c. P LAC....
