question
Output/ Total Cost
0_____25
1_____49
2_____69
3_____91
4_____118
5_____148
6_____180

In the above table, the cost figures are for a firm in a perfectly competitive market. If the market price is $30, then the profit maximizing output of this firm is

-3 units of output, because the firm has the lowest cost at that output
-6 units of output, because at that output, ATC = Price = $30
-4 units of output, because ATC is at its minimum ($29.5)
-5 units of output, because at that output MC = MR = $30
answer
...
question

expanding output to Q4 would leave the firm with losses.

-Shut down because p < AVC.
-Increase production until ATC falls below $27.
-Decrease production so that MC falls below $27.
-Stay open because price > AVC
answer
Shut down because p < AVC.
question
