Explain what it means in terms of opportunity cost when Economic profits are positive?

For the pizza seller whose marginal, average variable, and average total cost curves are shown in the graph below, what is the profit-maximizing level of output and how much profit will this producer earn if the price of pizza is $1.50 per slice?Instructions: In the graph below, label all three curves by clicking on the dropdown to select the appropriate label.       Instructions: Enter your response as a whole number. If you are entering a negative number, be sure to include a negative sign (−).   When the price is $1.50 per slice, the profit-maximizing level of output is slices per day.   Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest penny (two decimal places).   At the profit-maximizing level of output, the producer's profit is: $ per day.

News reports from the western United States occasionally report incidents of cattle ranchers slaughtering many newborn calves and burying them in mass graves rather than transporting them to markets. Assuming that this is rational behavior by profit-maximizing "firms," explain what economic factors may influence such behavior. Justify your answer.

Can you explain the ( Compare the values ) part and how Q = 6.5 is profit maximized?

Explain what it means in terms of opportunity cost when Economic profits are zero?

In a business where, fixed costs are very high (i.e. the production of a new Music CD, or the research and development of a new cancer drug) and the marginal costs are very low why can't price equal marginal cost?

Hi, where is P comes from? In the question, it says profit = ei - ci, how does pi*ei makes sense?

Economists define profit a bit differently than in accounting. In addition to explicit costs, we also subtract out implicit costs—what you could have earned from the next best alternative.  For example, suppose that you are making $60,000 as an accountant.  You decide to quit your job and open up your own accounting business.  You end up making a profit of $50,000.  How have you done?  Accountants would call this a profit of $50,000 while economists would say that you just lost $10,000 (relative to what you were making before).  So, economists define profits as being equal to total revenues minus total costs, where costs include the opportunity cost. Suppose that a firm had sales revenue of $1 million last year.  It spent $600,000 on labor, $150,000 on capital, and $200,000 on materials.  Calculate the firm’s accounting profit?  If the firm’s factory sits on land owned by the firm that it could rent for $30,000 per year, calculate economic profits.

Explain why a company would shut down in the short run.
