Output per day | 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
Total cost ($) | 1 | 2.5 | 3.5 | 4.2 | 4.5 | 5.2 | 6.8 | 8.7 | 10.7 | 13 |
If the current equilibrium price in the earrings market is $1.9, how many earrings will Frances produce, what price will she charge, and how much profit (or loss) will she make? Draw a graph to illustrate your answer. Your graph should be clearly labeled and should include Francess demand, ATC, AVC, MC, and MR curves; the price she is charging; the quantity she is producing; and the area representing her profit (or loss).Suppose the equilibrium price of earrings falls to $0.7. Now how many earrings will Frances produce, what price will she charge, and how much profit (or loss) will she make? Should Frances shut down? Explain.
