Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

a) The firm will produce 40 units of output because that is where the marginal revenue equals the marginal cost.
b) The firm's average total cost equals 4, its average variable cost equals 3, and its marginal cost equals 7.
c) The firm's total cost is 160 (= 4  40 ), its total variable cost is 120 (= 3  40 ), and its total fixed cost is 40 (= 160 - 120 ).
d) The firm's total revenue is 280 (= 7  40 ) and its economic profit is 120 (= 280 - 160 ) .
e) In the long run, firms will enter the market in response to the economic profit. The market supply curve will shift rightward, the price will fall, and the economic profit will be eliminated.
