When the per-unit price of a watermelon is $40, a competitive farm produces 7 units. At these levels, assume the average total cost = $60, the average fixed cost = $15, and the average variable cost = $45. What is the total profit for this farmer? (a) 140 (b) -140 (c) -560 (d) -325 (e) 400
Profit = Total revenue - total cost.
Total revenue = price x quantity = $40 x 7 = $280. Total cost = ATC x quantity = $60 x 7 = $420. The profit of the firm will be 280 - 420 = -140. The answer is "B".
