Answer to Question 1

At any price that exceeds the minimum of the average total cost the farmer earns an economic profit. So the farmer makes an economic profit if the price is greater than 2 per bushel. The farmer makes zero economic profit if the price equals the minimum total cost. So the farmer makes a normal profit if the price is 2 per bushel. Finally, the farmer incurs an economic loss if the price is less than the minimum average total cost. So the farmer incurs an economic loss if the price is less than 2 per bushel. If the price is 3 per bushel, the farmer produces 30,000 bushels of wheat per year. If the price is 0.50 per bushel, the farmer has shut down because the price is less than the minimum average variable cost and so the farmer produces 0 bushels per year.

Answer to Question 2
