depict a ATC curve, one where the firm has negative profits(π < 0) at the profit maximizing output of 1000. Add an additional average cost curve that will allow you to determinewhether to shutdown or keep producing at Q = 1000.
Can these be answered as well? Derive the firm's average cost and average variable cost curves. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p?
What is the term for the minimum level of output a firm must produce to cover its variable costs in the short run? a) Shutdown point b) Marginal cost point c) Average cost point d) Total cost point
Consider the following costs of a typical firm in a purely competitive industry. The firm has no fixed cost given only the available information, what would you except product price to be in the long run?
Assume that a competitive firm has the total cost function: TC=1q3−40q2+820q+1900TC=1q3-40q2+820q+1900 Suppose the price of the firm's output (sold in integer units) is $650 per unit. Using tables (but not calculus) to find a solution, what is the total profit at the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer.
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $150, a cost curve of: C + 6q + 1,500, and a marginal cost of: MC = q² + 6. What is the firm's profit maximizing output level? units. (round your answer to two decimal places)
A firm's profit function is x(q) = R(q)- C(q)= 180g - (685 + 20g + 10g) What is the positive output level that maximizes the firm's profit (or minimizes its loss)? What is the firm's revenue, variable cost, and profit? Should it operate or shut down in the short run? The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized is q=. (Enter your response as a whole number.) At this level of output, the firm's revenue (R) is $. (Enter your response as a whole number.) At the profit-maximizing level of output, the firm's variable cost (VC) is S. (Enter your response as a whole number.) Profit (x) is S. (Enter your response as a whole number and include a minus sign if necessary.) The firm should produce in the short run.
A firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a market price of $80, and has a total cost function: TC(Q) = Q3 – 28Q2 + 245Q + 1000. A. If the firm charges $85, how many units will they sell? B. If this firm produces Q = 15, is their profit maximized? C. If these are short run conditions and the firm is producing Q = 15, should the firm stay open or shut down temporarily? Clearly show or explain your reasoning.
Question 2: Consider a firm that operates in the perfectly competitive salmon farming industry. The short-run total cost curve is TC (Q) = 400 + Q +4Q², where is the number of salmon harvested per month. fiction, IS 4. In light of the answer in part 2, What is the minimum price at which the firm operates?
Please help with this question If a competitive firm finds that its average variable cost is decreasing at its current profit maximizing quantity, should the firm increase or decrease output?
