Complete the table above (8 points) is a price taker and the market price for the good produced is S 14 .00, what If this firm level of production will maximize profits for this firm? (1 points) 2. 3. At a market price of S14.00, how much profit(loss) would the firm earn? (2 points) 4. At a market price of S6.20, How much profit(loss) would the firm earn? (2 points) a.

c)Profit=TR-TC=14*5-36=34

d)P=6.25 Q=4 and firm is incurring loss and still firm will be in business

e)P=min of AVC=6

f)P=min of ATC=9 in long run
