举一反三
- A perfectly competitive firm maximizes its profit by producing the output at which its marginal cost equals its ____ A: marginal revenue B: average total cost C: average variable cost. D: average fixed cost.
- In short run the shutdown point is that point at which A: price equals marginal cost. B: average fixed cost equals marginal cost. C: average variable cost equals marginal cost. D: average total cost equals marginal cost.
- A firm maximizes profit by operating at the level of output where A: average revenue equals average cost. B: average revenue equals average variable cost. C: total costs are minimized. D: marginal revenue equals marginal cost. E: marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost by the greatest amount.
- For any given price, a firm in a competitive market will maximize<br/>profit by selecting the level of output at which price intersects the<br/>( ) A: average total cost curve. B: average variable cost curve. C: marginal cost curve. D: marginal revenue curve.
- If, in long run equilibrium, the competitive price of some good is $16.67, then, for each and every firm in the industry, A: marginal cost > average cost = $16.67. B: marginal cost < average cost = $16.67. C: $16.67 = marginal cost = average cost. D: $16.67 = marginal cost > average cost.
