TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars) -25 Suppose Lorenzo runs a small business that manufactures teddy bears. Assume that the market for teddy bears is a price-taker market, and the market price is $10 per teddy bear. The following graph shows Lorenzo's total cost curve.

Tim Marlow, the owner of The Clock Works, wanted to know how many clocks he must sell in order to cover his fixed cost at a given price. Tim knew that he had a fixed cost of $20,000 for equipment, taxes, and a bank loan. He also had a unit variable cost of $20 per clock for labor, materials, and promotional costs. If the price Tim charges for each of his clocks is $40, what is his break-even point quantity?
For each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the graph to identify its total variable cost. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (Hint: You can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the graph to see precise information on average variable cost.)

In this case, the firm's fixed cost is $1,600,000 per day. In other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $1,600,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). This firm's shutdown price-that is, the price below which it is optimal for the…
An industry currently has 100 firms, each of which has fixed costs of $8 and average variable costs as follows: Complete the following table by deriving the total cost, marginal cost, and average total cost for each quantity from 1 to 6. Average Variable Cost (Dollars) Total Cost Marginal Cost (Dollars) Average Total Cost (Dollars) Quantity (Dollars) 11 The equilibrium price is currently $15. Each firm produces units, so the total quantity supplied in the market is units. In the long run, firms can enter and exit the market, and all entrants have the same costs as in the previous table. As this market makes the transition to its long-run equilibrium, the price will quantity demanded will and the quantity supplied by each firm will Use the orange line (square point) to graph the long-run supply curve for this market. 20 19 18 17 Long-Run Supply 16 15 14
Graphically show the relationship between the total fixed cost, the total variable cost, and the total cost. Draw a total cost curve and total revenue curve so that at some outputs that the firm takes losses, outputs where the firm makes unnecessary profits, and where the firm makes only necessary profits. Then, pick a point where the firm is taking losses and show on the graph, the firm’s total losses. Do the same for a point (an output level) where the firm may be making unnecessary profits.
The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity-0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to drawit.

Harry's should stay open in the short run. Harry's should stay open in the long run. Harry's should shut down in the short run. Harry's should stay open in the short run but shut down in the long run.
1. Suppose the total cost to a firm of producing a quantity ą of some commodity is C(q) = 490 + 20q + 0.1q² dollars. a) Find the corresponding marginal cost (MC(q)) and average cost (AC(g)) b) Find the minimum average cost and the output level at which it is achieved c) Verify that MC(q) = AC(q) at this output level you found in section “b)"
Assume that the market price per kilogram of beet pulp is $0.3 and many relatively identical farms produce beets. The typical farm has a minimum average variable cost of $0.26 and a minimum average total cost of $0.31. Should it shut down given the current price? Why? Now assume that this farm's average variable and total costs increase by $0.06 for each level of output, while the other farms' costs remain the same as before. What should the farm do now? Why?
