Question

Im so confused! help please!

On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the portion of the firm's short-run supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is positive output. Line segments will automatically connect the points. Remember to plot from left to right. (Note: You are given more points to plot than you need!) Consider the perfectly competitive market for ceiling halogen lamps. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price In the following table, use the graph to determine the number of lamps this firm would produce in order to maximize Its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is Indifferent between producing zero units and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, Indicate for each price whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run, and whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even.

Explanation / Answer

10          shut down (Reason below AVC)    Loss

15          shut down (Reason below AVC)    Loss

25          Produce                                         Loss

35          Produce                                       Break even

50          Produce                                       Profit

70          Produce                                       Profit

90          Produce                                       Profit


Quanity to be produced = 12,000
