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 a picture of the MC, ATC, and AVC for this firm specifically labeling the values for each of these costs at q = 12 and q = 8. Round any decimal answers to 1 place. The diagram does not need to be to scale but needs the curves to exhibit the correct qualities. (2 points)

This question is in regards to situations that might face a perfectly competitive firm. Draw two graphs. On the first, show the short-run profit maximizing output of an individual firm earning an economic profit, including MR, MC, AVC, and ATC. On the second, show the short-run market equilibrium price and quantity. Explain how the industry supply curve and the market equilibrium price and quantity are determined.

4. Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the perfectly competitive market for dress shirts. 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. that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run....
