Suppose the firm faces a price of $38, an average variable cost of $29, and has an average fixed cost of $5. In the short-run, the firm
A. will earn an economic profit
B. will be unable to determine what to do
c. will just cover cost
D. none of the above
Homework Answers
ATC = AVC+AFC = 29 + 5 = 34
P = 38
As P > ATC,
Firm will earn profit
Therefore correct answer is option A

If a profit maximizing firm has a fixed cost of $3000 and an average variable cost...
If a profit maximizing firm has a fixed cost of $3000 and an average variable cost of $40 per unit but a maximum output of 50 units. The firm cannot avoid the fixed costs in the short run but can avoid the fixed costs by shutting down in the long run. The firm should A) produce output at prices no less than $40 and supply 50 outputs at prices above $40 B) produce output at prices no less than $100...

Suppose a perfectly Competitive firms minimum average variable cost is $1 when it produces 50. If the price is $2 and the firm's marginal cost is $2 the firm should Continue to produce, but produce less than 50 Continue to operate, but produce more than 50 Shut down Continue to produce 50 To maximize economic profit of perfectly competitive firm: will sell its goods below the market price all of the above will sell its goods above the market price...

Consider the competitive market for copper. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the Industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on
6. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for copper. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the Industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for copper. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market. (Hint:...
