Question 1
The total cost at zero level of output is $24. The total cost at the zero level of output is the fixed cost.
So, the fixed cost is $24. The fixed cost remains same at each level of output.
Fixed cost when 2 units of output is produced is $24.
Variable cost when 2 units of output is produced is $50.
Calculate the total cost -
Total cost = Fixed cost + Variable cost = $24 + $50 = $74
The total cost of producing 2 units of output is $74.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (d).
Question 2
A perfectly competitive firm produces that level of output corresponding to which price equals marginal cost.
The price is $6. The price equals marginal cost corresponding to output of 3 units.
At this output, price is greater than ATC.
So, in short-run, the firms will earn positive economic profit.
When competitive firms earn positive economic profit in the short-run, there will be entry of new firms in the industry in the long run.
Hence, the correct answer is the option (a).
