The table below shows a competitive firm’s short-run production function. Labor is the firm’s only variable input, and market price for the firm’s product is $2 per unit. A table shows the data on units of labor and units of output. Units of Labor Units of Output 3 370 4 490 5 570 6 600 7 620 If market price for the firm’s product increases to $5, how many units of labor will the firm employ at a wage rate of $200?

A consulting company estimated market demand and supply in a perfectly competitive industry and obtained the following results:Qd = 25,000 – 5,000P + 25MQs = 240,000 + 5,000P – 2,000PITC = 6,000 + 14Q – 0.008Q2 + 0.000002Q3where M= $10,000 and PI = $20What will the firm’s profit (loss) be?

The graph above shows cost curves for a perfectly competitive firm. The firm will break even if price is

A consulting company estimated market demand and supply in a perfectly competitive industry and obtained the following results:Qd = 25,000 – 5,000P + 25MQs = 240,000 + 5,000P – 2,000PITC = 6,000 + 14Q – 0.008Q2 + 0.000002Q3where M= $10,000 and PI = $20What is the revised price forecast for next year?

In a perfectly competitive industry the market price is $25. A firm is currently producing 10,000 units of output; average total cost is $28, marginal cost is $20, and average variable cost is $20. The firm should

The graph below shows demand and marginal cost for a perfectly competitive firm. If the firm is producing 100 units of output, increasing output by one unit would _________ the firm’s profit by $_________.

Consider the following graph of the cost structure of a perfectly competitive firm: If market price is $70, what is the optimal output for the firm?
