Assume a perfectly competitive firm sells its output for $150 per unit. At its current 2,000 units of output, marginal cost is $140 and increasing, and average variable cost is $120. Assuming it wants to maximize its profits, it should: u increase output. o decrease output, but not shut down. u maintain its current output rate. shut down.

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm produces output using capital services (a fixed input) and labour services (a variable input). At its profit-maximizing level of output, the marginal product of labour is equal to the average product of labour. a. What is the relationship between this firm's average variable cost and its marginal cost? O Average variable cost is higher than marginal cost O Average variable cost equals marginal cost O Average variable cost is less than marginal...
