Assume that you own a business that competes in a perfectly competitive industry producing a good that sells for $80. The table below represents some production alternatives for you. How many units would you produce if you wanted to maximize economic profit? Output Total Cost 0 $20 1 $70 2 $110 3 $170 4 $250 5 $370 6 $570 None, this firm should shut down. 4 units 5 units 6 units
Homework Answers
Ans
4 because here marginal cost=250-170=80=price(=80). For equilbrium in perfect competition p=MC
