- Suppose you start a business of manufacturing computer software. Assume that this computer software company is a perfectly competitive firm. Your fixed cost per month is Tk. 60,000 and total cost is Tk. 140,000. If you sell 1000 software per month and the average revenue is Tk. 90, what should be your short-run decision regarding shut down and long run decision regarding exit?Slide 2 Questions: a. What is the total revenue of the firm at the optimum level of output? b. What is the total cost at the optimum level of output? c. What is the profit of the firm at the optimum (profit-maximizing) level of output? d. What is the average cost of each unit sold at the optimum level of output? Is the firm at its log-run equilibrium? If yes/no, why?QUESTION 10 Jack sells water bottles. Assume the market for water bottles is perfectly competitive. Jack sells his water bottles at the market price of $9.00. At the profit-maximising output level of 51 water bottles, Jack's average total cost is $4.40 per water bottle. The minimum average variable cost is $3.90 per water bottle. Answer the following questions: a. Jack's economic profit or loss is decimal places (ie: to the nearest cent). (use a negative value if a loss). Answer in dollars, rounded to two b. State whether the following statement is true or false: "At the profit-maximising quantity, Jack is making an economic profit of $4.60 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false c. State whether the following statement is true or false: "Jack should shut down if the market price is $3.85 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false
- Suppose you are thinking about starting a lawn service in your area. The lawn service market can be considered perfectly competitive. You own a $200 lawnmower. You have a fixed cost of $90 (maintenance costs on the mower, etc.). Your variable costs are as follows: # of Lawns Mowed Total Variable Costs Fixed Cost 1 $5 90 2 $15 90 3 $30 90 4 $50 90 5 $75 90 6 $105 90 7 $140 90 8 $180 90 9 $225 90 10 $275 90 a) Calculate Total Costs, Average Total Costs, Average Total Costs, Average Variable Costs, and Marginal Costs. b) Suppose that the going rate for lawns is $35 per lawn. How many lawns would you mow?Suppose a perfectly competitive firm is operating in short run. The information of MR, Q, ATC and AVC are 25 taka, 60 unit, 35taka and 15taka respectively. Calculate firm’s profit/loss and total fixed cost. From these calculations and based on all the given information, can you conclude about the firm’s decision in short run? Explain your reasoning with the help of a suitable diagram. Show all the relevant information in your diagram.[Q=profit maximizing output and MR=marginal revenue]. Don,t copy from anywhere.
