|
· Question 9
In the short-run, a competitive firm which seeks to maximize profit will produce: |
||||
|
7.When AVC is low then there would be a higher break even output,because more can be produced at lower cost of production.
Answer-A
8.When AVC is contact then MC is also constant,such that MC=AVC at each level of output.
Answer-A
9.A competitive firm profit maximizing condition:Price=marginal cost.
Answer-B

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...
True False Answer Bank Average fixed cost is al way s higher than average variable cost. The VC curve is modeled as a horizontal line. All costs are either fixed or variable. The ATC crosses the MC at the lowest point on the MC The ATC is always greater than or equal to AVC TC= FC + VC +MC The ATC is rising when the MC is below the ATC. MC refers to the change in total cost associated with...
The minimum point of the average variable cost curve (AVC) is referred to as the a. Break-even price. b. Shut-down price. c. Government subsidy price. d. Profit maximizing point A firm will shut down its operation temporarily if a. It is not making an economic profit. b. Marginal cost exceeds marginal revenue c. The price is equal to average total cost d. It is not making a normal profit e. It is unable to cover its variable costs.
· Question 1 The unit contribution margin (in the break-even analysis) refers to: The price of the product less its average variable cost The price of the product less its average fixed cost The price of the product less its marginal cost The price of the product less its average total cost · Question 2 When the firm produces at the loss-minimizing output, marginal profit is: Zero Positive Negative Can be positive, negative or zero · Question 3 When marginal...
3) Monopolistic Competition Long-Run (7 points) The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopolistically competitive firm are shown in the figure below. Price/Cost (S) a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing output level? b. What is its profit-maximizing price? c. What is the firm's economic profit? d. What would the output level be that is productively efficient (minimizes ATC)? e. At what price and output level would this outcome be allocatively efficient? (Hint...
Graph Worksheet MC DI MR P4 ATC P3 P2 AVC PI 02 1. What is the price and quantity at the optimum level of production? Is this an economic profit, loss, or break-even? Should the firm produce? 2. If the industry model is monopolistic competition, what will happen to the industry? What will happen to the demand and marginal revenue curves for the individual firm? In the long run where will the demand curve be? Will the firm achieve productive...
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.
Price/Cost ($) 7) Monopoly II (6 points) 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. 501 ATC AVC a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing level of output? Label this on the graph. b. What price will the monopolist charge for that level of output? Label this on the graph....
