The graph to the right shows the Marginal Cost (MC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Revenue (MR) curves for a perfectly (or purely) competitive firm. Note that the Demand (D) curve is the same as the MR curve for such a MR/MC ($) firm. Assume that the cost curves here are representative of other firms in the industry. Given the current price, this firm will: earn a positive profit. earn a negative profit. earn zero economic profit. In the...

1. According to the marginal approach to profit maximization, a) firms should equate total revenue and marginal cost when choosing the optimal output level. b) firms should take any action that increases revenue more than costs. c) economic profit is zero in the long run. d) marginal cost declines until it reaches marginal revenue at the profit-maximizing output level. e) marginal costs eventually diminish as more output is produced. 2. Jerry operates in the perfectly competitive paper clip industry, where...
