Answer:

a)

P 175

Q = 250

Profit6,250

b)

P 325

Q = 875

Profit 153,125

c)

Q = 1200

P = 260

Profit = 287,000

Explanation:

It maximize profit at MR = MC

MR = 200 - 0.2Q

MC = 150

150 = 200-0.2Q

Q = 50/0.2 = Q = 250

Price:

250 = 2000 - 10P

P = 1750/10 = 175

<u></u>

<u>Profit: revenue - cost</u>

$175 x 250 session - $150 per session = 6,250

<em>At new functions:</em>

150 = 500-0.4Q

Q = 350 / 0.4 = 875

Price:

875 = 2,500 - 5P

P = (2500-875)/5= 325

<u>Profit</u>

(325 - 150) * 875 = 153,125

<u>If cost changes:</u>

cost: 1000 + 20Q

marginal cost: 20

20 = 500 - 0.4Q

Q = 480 / 0.4 = 1,200

Price:

1,200 = 2500 - 5P

P = 1300/5 = 260

<u>Profit</u>

(260 - 20)Q - 1,000 = 287,000

A firm sells a product in a perfectly competitive market. The marginal cost of the product at the current output level of 500 un
amid [387]

Answer:

The correct answer is the third statement which says to maximize profits, the firm should produce less than 500 units.

Explanation:

The quantity of output produced is 500 units.

The marginal cost of producing 500 units is $1.50.

The minimum average variable cost is $1.

The price of the product is $1.25.  

The firm will be at equilibrium when the price is equal to marginal cost. To maximize profits firm should decrease output to the extent that marginal cost comes to $1.25. At that point, the firm will earn profits as average variable cost is lower than the price.
