- Farmer Brown grows blueberries. The average total cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost of growing blueberries for an individual farmer are illustrated in the graph to the right. Farmer Brown will incur losses if the market price falls below $ per crate. (Enter a numeric response using an integer.) Furthermore, farmer Brown should shut down in the short run if the market price falls below $ per crate.

- 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.

A) Calculate average total cost (ATC=TC/Q), marginal cost (MC=∆TC/∆Q) and marginal revenue (MR=∆TR/∆Q) for each level of output. The price per unit of output is £16. B) Plot ATC, MC and MR on a graph and mark the profit-maximising output. At what output is profit maximised? C) How much profit/loss is made at the optimum level of output?Suppose a firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry has costs in the short run given by: SRTC = 8 + ½q^2 and therefore MC = q
- The graph below shows a particular firms marginal revenue (mr) marginal cost (mc) and average total cost (atc) curves, where the market is competitive. Suppose that a new management team is brought in and that this team is initially less concerned about maximizing profits than it is simply about making a profit. What range of production quantities will allow the firm to operate while earning a profit? Give you're answer by dragging the qmin to Qmax lines into their correct positions. The output will need to lie somewhere between those limits.If you are the manager of a perfectly competitive firm that is making a loss (TR < TC), would you decide to shut it down? Under what circumstances would you decide to operate an unprofitable business?Graph represents the cost structure of an individual firm in a perfectly competitive market.
