- For a perfectly competitive firm, what is the relationship between Price and Marginal Revenue?arrow_forwardThe graph below shows cost curves for a perfectly competitive firm. Price/Cost $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 0 10 20 30 Quantity MC 40 ATC AVC 50 At a price of $10, how many units will this firm produce if its goal is to maximize profit?arrow_forwardThe following graph illustrates the demand and marginal revenue curve (D-MR) of a perfectly competitive firm. Suppose that when the firm produces 40 units, its average variable cost equals $65 per unit and its average total cost equals $80 per unit. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to plot the total cost of producing 40 units. Next, use the grey rectangle (star symbols) to plot the total variable cost of producing 40 units. Then, use the tan rectangle (dash symbols) to plot the total revenue at 40 units. Finally, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to plot the profit or loss at 40 units. PRICE AND COST (Dollars) 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 0 10 + 20 +ATC + AVC 30 40 50 60 QUANTITY (Units) 70 80 D=MR 90 H 100 Total Cost Total Variable Cost I Total Revenue Profit or Loss ?arrow_forward

What quantity does the firm produce and what is its price? Calculate the firm's economic profit or economic loss. Price and cost (dollars per bike) 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 MC ATC MR 100 200 Quantity (mountain bikes per week) Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is $200 per bike, and economic loss is $10,000. Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is $250 per bike, and economic loss is $5,000. Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is $200 per bike, and economic profit is $5,000. Quantity produced is 100 mountain bikes per week, price of a mountain bike is $250 per bike, and economic profit is $5,000.arrow_forwardThe table below shows the total cost (TC) and marginal cost (MC) for Choco Lovers, a purely competitive firm producing different quantities of chocolate gift boxes.

- Consider the perfectly competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves for a typical firm in the industry.arrow_forwardPlease answer F and show steps for the grapharrow_forwardUse a graph to demonstrate the scenario where a competitive firm would be earning positive profit in the short run. Can this scenario be maintained in the long run? Why? What are the ‘shutdown point’ and ‘break even point’ of a competitive firm . Explain with diagram. A competitive market starts in a situation of long run equilibrium. Then there is an increase in demand. Explain what happens in the short run and long run, using necessary diagrams.arrow_forward
