The graph below provides revenue and cost information for a perfectly competitive firm producing paper clips.
| Output | Total Revenue | Total Variable Cost | Total Fixed Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,000 | $1,500 | $500 |
| 2 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $500 |
| 3 | $3,000 | $2,600 | $500 |
| 4 | $4,000 | $3,900 | $500 |
| 5 | $5,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
Suppose rocking-chair manufacturing is a perfectly competitive industry in which there are 1,000 identical firms. Each firm’s total cost is related to output per day as follows:
| Quantity | Total cost | Quantity | Total cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | $500 | 5 | $2,200 |
| 1 | $1,000 | 6 | $2,700 |
| 2 | $1,300 | 7 | $3,300 |
| 3 | $1,500 | 8 | $4,400 |
| 4 | $1,800 | Â | Â |
Suppose the demand curve in the market for rocking chairs is given by the following table:
| Price | Quantity of chairs Demanded/day | Price | Quantity of chairs Demanded/day |
|---|---|---|---|
| $650 | 5,000 | $450 | 7,000 |
| $550 | 6,000 | $350 | 8,000 |
Plot the market demand curve for chairs. Compute and plot the market supply curve, using the information you obtained for a single firm in part (c). What is the equilibrium price? The equilibrium quantity?
The following table shows the total output, total revenue, total variable cost, and total fixed cost of a firm. What level of output should the firm produce? Should it shut down? Should it exit the industry? Explain.
| Output | Total revenue | Total variable cost | Total fixed cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $1,000 | $1,500 | $500 |
| 2 | $2,000 | $2,000 | $500 |
| 3 | $3,000 | $2,600 | $500 |
| 4 | $4,000 | $3,900 | $500 |
| 5 | $5,000 | $5,000 | $500 |
