Q3: When Marginal Revenue is greater than Marginal Cost you should produce output to maximize profit. When Marginal Revenue is less than Marginal Cost you should produce output to maximize profit.
Q4: At a quantity of 265 units marginal revenue equals marginal cost. Fixed cost is $2,500, the Total Variable cost is $9,500, and the total revenue is $11,000. Calculate the average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost and marginal revenue. Should the company shut down or stay in business in the short run? In the long run?
Q5: When the Price is greater than Average Total Cost the firm is making? When the price is less than Average Total Cost the firm is making?
Q6: Using the graph below, determine the quantity of output to produce to maximize profit. Additionally, calculate total revenue, total cost, and total profit at the determined output quantity.
