Suppose the costs of a perfectly competitive firm are given by TC = 30 +3Q+0.5Q2 and MC= 3+Q. The supply equation of the firm is, therefore, Q = -3 + P. If the market price is $13, what is the total profit of the firm? O $20 $130 -$110 O $10

Which of the following best explains why a firm would not stop producing if the loss is less than its fixed costs? O Fixed costs are paid regardless of whether something or nothing is produced, and the firm receives enough revenue per unit to cover ATC and some MC. O Fixed costs are paid regardless of whether something or nothing is produced, and the firm receives enough revenue per unit to cover ATC and some FC. O Fixed costs are paid regardless of whether something or nothing is produced, and the firm receives enough revenue per unit to cover AVC and some FC.

Suppose we have a firm in a perfectly competitive market. Assume that we have the usual shaped cost curves. At a market price of $15 the profit maximizing firm produces 53 units. Something changes that causes the firm to produce a quantity of zero at a price of $15 in the short-run. Which of the changes below can explain the change in the firm's behavior? O An increase in the fixed cost and a decrease in the marginal cost. O An increase in the fixed cost. O An increase in the marginal cost. O A decrease in the market price.
Assume that marginal revenue equals rising marginal cost at 100 units of output. At this output level, a profit-maximizing firm's total fixed cost is $600 and its total variable cost is $400. If the price of the product is $8 per unit, the firm should produce O less than 100 units of output. O The amount is impossible to determine from the information given. O 100 units of output. O more than 100 units of output.
A perfectly competitive firm that makes car batteries has total fixed costs of $10,000 per month. The market price at which it can sell its output is $100 per battery.

Suppose a firm has a fixed cost of F > 0 and a constant marginal cost of c> 0. What can we infer about the short run and long run supply curves? Both the short run and long run supply curves will be downward sloping. Both the short run and long run supply curves will be upward sloping. The short run supply curve will be upward sloping, but the long run supply curve will be downward sloping. O The short run and long run supply curves will be identical. O None of the above.
Consider the competitive market for sports jackets. 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. 100 90 70 60 ATC 40 30 20 AVC 10 + ++++ 10 15 20 3 30 35 o 5 QUANTITY (Thousands of jackets) 50 For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number ofr jackets this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero jackets and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price. Price Quantity (Dollars per jacket) (Jackets) Produce or Shut Down?
