Question and Exercise 13-6



The following graphs
(A?C) show the marginal cost, marginal revenue, and average total cost curves
for a typical perfectly competitive firm.



a. Identify the profit-maximizing level of output for each firm in graphs
A?C.



Instructions: Use the tool 'Q'
to label the profit-maximizing level of output for each firm.




 

 
 
 






b. Which of the above graphs represents a typical perfectly competitive
firm earning economic profits?



 /



c. Which of the above graphs represents a typical perfectly competitive firm
earning economic losses?



 



d. Which of the above graphs represents a typical perfectly competitive firm
earning zero economic profit?



 .



e. Which of the above graphs represents a typical perfectly competitive firm in
the long run?



.





 

Explanation:



The profit-maximizing level of a competitive firm is where marginal
revenue equals marginal cost. To find the profit-maximizing level of output for
a perfect competitor, find that level of output where MC = MR.
Profit is price less average total cost times output at the profit-maximizing
level of output. Perfectly competitive firms make zero profit in the long run.

Question and Exercise 13-15



A profit-maximizing firm is producing where MR = MC and
has an average total cost of $4, but it gets a price of $3 for each good it
sells.



a. What would you advise the firm to do?



As long as average variable costs are less than $3, in the short run,
the firm should produce. In the long run, it should exit the market.



b. What would you advise the firm to do if you knew average variable costs were
$3.50?



The firm should shut down in the short run and exit the market in the
long run.

Question and Exercise 13-16



A farmer is producing where MC = MR. Say
that half of the cost of producing wheat is the rental cost of land (a fixed
cost) and half is the cost of labor and machines (a variable cost). If the
average total cost of producing wheat is $8 and the price of wheat is $6, what
would you advise the farmer to do? (“Grow something else” is not allowed.)
