A firm operating in a purely competitive environment is faced with a market price of $250. The firm’s total cost function (short run) is as follows:
TC = 6000 + 400Q – 20Q2 + Q3
- Should the firm produce at this price in the short run?
- If the market price is $300, what will total profits (losses) be if the firm produce 10 units of output? Should the firm produce at this price?
- If the market price is greater than $300, should the firm produce in the short run?

1. If each competitive firm in an industry has the short run cost function TC=50+5q+q2, and MC=5+2q. The market price is $35. a. What is the profit maximizing output level for each firm? b. What are the profits? c. Now, suppose that fixed costs were $250 instead of $50, so the firm faces the short run cost function TC=250+5q+q2. How does this change affect the firm’s output decision and profits? Should the firm continue to operate in the short run?

When the price faced by a firm in a very competitive industry was $5, the firm produced nothing in the short run. However, when the price rose to $10, the firm produced 100 tons of output. From this we can infer that. Group of answer choices (a) The firm’s marginal cost curve must be flat (b) The firm’s marginal costs of production never fall below $5 (c) The firm’s average cost of production was less than $10 (d) The firm’s...
