Which of the following accurately describes the minimum point of the average total cost curve for a perfectly competitive firm? Assume that it is earning positive economic profit. a) The intersection of the average total cost curve and the average variable cost curve b) The profit-maximizing point of production c) The intersection of the average total cost curve and the marginal cost curve d) The point at which demand changes from its elastic to inelastic range e) The point at which marginal cost equals marginal revenue

Draw the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, average total cost curve, and marginal-cost curve for a monopolist. Show the profit-maximizing level of output, the profit-maximizing price, and the amount of profit. Why the demand curve for a firm operating in monopolistic competition is more elastic compared to the firm operating as a monopoly.

At the profit maximizing output, which of the following statements is correct? There is more than one answer to this question. You must mark all of the correct answers to receive full credit for this question. Marginal profit is equal to zero. The slope of the total revenue curve equals the slope of the total cost curve. The slope of the total profit curve is zero. Marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
