Figure 14-1 The graph below depicts the cost structure for a firm in a competitive market. Price P4 P3 P2 P1 MC AVC ATC Q1Q2 Q3 Q4 Quantity Refer to Figure 14-1. When price falls from P4 to P3, the firm finds that it should produce Q1 units of output. it should shut down immediately. it should produce Q3 units of output. fixed cost is higher at a production level of Q3 than it is at Q4.

Figure 14-1 The graph below depicts the cost structure for a firm in a competitive market. Refer to Figure 14-1. When price falls from P4 to P3, the firm finds that: - it should produce Q1 units of output. - it should shut down immediately. - it should produce Q3 units of output. - fixed cost is higher at a production level of Q3 than it is at Q4.

Suppose a firm operating in a competitive market has the following cost curves: Refer to Figure 14-4. When the price rises from P3 to P4, the firm finds that: - Fixed costs decrease as output increases from Q3 to Q4. - It can earn a positive profit by increasing production to Q4. - Profit is still maximized at a production level of Q3. - Average revenue exceeds marginal revenue at a production level of Q4.
Figure 15-2 above shows the demand and cost curves facing a monopolist. Refer to Figure 15-2. If the firm's average total cost curve is ATC1, the firm will: - suffer a loss. - break even. - make a profit. - face competition.
