1. Draw two graphs. On the first, show the short-run profit maximizing output of an individual firm earning an economic profit, including MR, MC, AVC, and ATC. On the second, show the short-run market equilibrium price and quantity. Explain how the industry supply curve and the market equilibrium price and quantity are determined. 2. What is the relationship between the price on the two graphs? Why does this relationship exist? 3. Explain why a firm in a perfectly competitive industry...
1. Draw the diagram for a profit-maximizing monopolist earning an economic profit. Show the profit maximizing output rate, the monopoly price, the ATC at the profit-maximizing output rate, and the economic profit.
Use the MR/MC approach and the appropriate graph to show the profit maximizing price and quantity for a firm in monopolistic competition. Assume that the firm is making economic profits in the short-run. Explain what happens to the economic profits in the long-run.
At what output level would a profit-maximizing perfectly competitive firm NEVER operate at? a. at an output level where it would lose more than its total fixed costs b. at an output level where it was NOT earning a positive economic profit c. at an output level where it was NOT earning a zero economic profit d. at an output level where it was NOT earning an accounting profit
10) In the above figure, what is the profit-maximizing output and price? A) 8, $7 B) 10, $8 C) 12, $10 D) 10, $10 11) In the above figure, what is the price the firm receives if the output is 8? A) $10 B) $2 C) $7 D) $8 12) The short-run break-even price A) Is the price at which the firm's current liabilities are paid off? B) Is the price at which a firm's total revenues equal total costs? C) Occurs at the output at which the firm yields a below normal...
Based on the table below, what is the profit maximizing level of output for the monopoly firm assuming that the firm is earning a positive economic profit? Price Quantity Marginal Cost $15 1000 $3 14 2000 4 13 3000 5 12 4000 6 11 5000 7 10 6000 8 a. 1000 units b. 2000 units c. 3000 units d. 5000 units e. 6000
Please answer both of the following questions.
A perfectly competitive firm is maximizing profits in the short run. This implies that the firm is earning the most economic profits possible, which o can be positive, negative, or zero. O exist at the point at which price equals total cost. O must be positive. o must be either zero or positive. QUESTION 31 A constant-cost industry O has a horizontal long-run supply curve. O generates increasing profits whenever demand increases because...
1. Amanda Enterprises Inc. (AEI) is a profit-maximizing firm. It has a patent for a unique smartphone application called Pandagram. a. Assume that AEI is making an economic profit. Draw a correctly labeled graph and show the profit-maximizing price and quantity as Pm and Qm. b. Assume that the state government increases AEl's annual property taxes. i. What will happen to output and market price in part (a)? Explain ii. What will happen to AEl's profits? c. Now instead, assume...
(Figure: The Profit-Maximizing Output and Price) Use Figure: The
Profit-Maximizing Output and Price. Assume that there are no fixed
costs and AC = MC = $200. At the profit-maximizing output and price
for a perfectly competitive industry, economic profit for the firms
in the industry is:$200.$1,600.$3,200.$0.
3) Suppose a perfectly competitive firm is earning a positive economic profit. Show this situation in a graph. What will happen to economic profits in the long run? Show this situation in a graph. As profits are driven to zero, what happens to consumer surplus? a. b.
