A firm in a perfectly competitive market has a fixed cost of $1,000 and a variable cost of $500 while it is earning the revenue

grin007 [14]

Answer:

Firm should not shut down, as it is able to cover its Average Variable Cost

Explanation:

Perfect Competition firms in Short Run : The firms produce even if their average revenue (price) < their average total costs (AC). They continue production until Average variable cost (AVC) ≥ per unit price (P) i.e average revenue (AR). This is called Shut Down Point. P lower beyond AVC implies that firm won't continue even in short run.

Given : Variable Cost (VC) = 500 ; Revenue (R) = 510

Average Variable Costs & Average Revenue are variable costs & revenue, per unit quantity. AVC = VC / Q ; AR (P) = R / Q

R i.e 510 > VC i.e 500

So, R/ Q i.e AR is also > VC / Q i.e AVC

Since AVC > AR (P), firm should not shut down

shtirl [24]

Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $192,000

Unitary variable cost= $320 per week

Selling price per unit= $480 per week

To calculate the total cost, we need to use the following formula:

Total cost= fixed costs + unitary variable cost*number of units

Total cost= 192,000 + 320*number of weeks

Now, the total revenue:

Total revenue= selling price per week*Number of weeks

Total revenue= 480*x

Finally, the break-even point in units:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 192,000 / (480 - 320)

Break-even point in units= 1,200 campers
