Question

1.When TR=100,TC=140,TVC=80 and TFC=60, a factory should shut down or continue operations? Why?

2.When TR=100,TC=190,TVC=130 and TFC=60, a factory should shut down or continue operations? Why?

3.Under the perfect competition, P=1000, AC=600, and MC equals P at 5 units. The AC curve touches a horizontal demand curve at 3 and 7 each other. Please calculate TR,TC and profit.

4.Compare demand curves of a perfectly competitive firm and a monopoly?

5.Compare four assumptions under perfect competition and monopolistic competition. How are these two different in terms of these assumptions?

Explanation / Answer

1.Factory should continue since factory is able to recover TVC which 80 and TR is 100.

2 Factory should shut down since it is not even able to recover the TVC

3 TR = P*Q

=1000*5

=$5,000

TC = AC*Q

=600*5

=3,000

Profit = 5,000 -3000

=$2,000

4.Demand curve for the competitive market is horizontal and in case of monopoly it is downward sloping

5. Perfectly competitive market:

Monopolistic competition
