The following problem applies to a perfectly competitive producer of widgets. A typical producer, say Widget Enterprises Inc., can sell widgets at a constant price of $30/pound. Widget Enterprises has the following costs in the short-run. Its total fixed costs are $45. Quantity Total Cost (pounds) $ 0 45 1 65 2 80 3 90 4 105 5 125 6 150 7 180 8 215 9 255 a. What does it mean to say that Widget Enterprises is a price taker? What does it say about the widgets it makes...
