Indicate the answer choice that best completes the statement or answers the question. Scenario 14- Assume a certain firm in a competitive market is producing Q = 1,000 units of output. At Q = 1,000, the firm's marginal cost equals $15 and its average total cost equals $11. The firm sells its output for $12 per unit.
Table 14- Quantity Total Cost 0 $ 1 $ 2 $ 3 $ 4 $ 5 $ 6 $ 2. Refer to Table 14-15. What is the lowest price at which this firm would operate in the short run? a. $3. b. $4. c. $5. d. $6. Scenario 14- The information below applies to a competitive firm that sells its output for $40 per unit. • When the firm produces and sells 150 units of output, its average total cost is $24. • When the firm produces and sells 151 units of output, its average total cost is $24. 3. Refer to Scenario 14-4. How does the firm’s marginal revenue (MR) compare to its marginal cost (MC) when it increases its output from 150 units to 151 units? a. MR exceeds MC by $7. b. MR exceeds MC by $11. c. MC exceeds MR by $11. d. MC exceeds MR by $13. Figure 14- Suppose a firm operating in a competitive market has the following cost curves:

Scenario 14- Suppose a certain competitive firm is producing Q=500 units of output. The marginal cost of the 500th unit is $17, and the average total cost of producing 500 units is $12. The firm sells its output for $20. 13. Refer to Scenario 14-3. If the marginal cost of producing the 501st unit would be $19, producing and selling the 501st unit would a. decrease the firm’s profit by $19. b. decrease the firm’s profit by $2. c. increase the firm’s profit by $1. d. increase the firm’s profit by $3.
