Homework Answers
(a) More information needed
If TC > TR, firm is incurring loss. But if TR > TVC, then Price > AVC and firm will not shut down. Firm will shut down only if P < AVC, and this info is not known.
(b) Produce in short run
In perfect competition, P = MR. Since MR > MC, P > MC which occurs when ATC is sloping downward. Since AVC lies below ATC, it means P > AVC and firm will continue production.
(c) Produce in short run
Since P > ATC, firm is making profit and P > AVC and firm will continue production.
(d) Shut down in short run
Since AVC > P, firm cannot cover variable costs with revenue and will shut down in short run.

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm might earn negative economic profits and then decide to shut down. On a graph, show this situation, using marginal revenue, marginal cost, average-total-cost, and average-variable-cost curves. Indicate the level of output at which the firm will no longer produce. Explain why your graph shows the shut down point.

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....
