Answer:
(a) The table is as follows
| Quantity | AVC | FC | VC= AVC*Quantity | TC= VC+FC | MC= Change in TC/ Change in Quantity | ATC= TC/Quantity |
| 4000 | 2 | 6400 | 8000 | 14400 | 2 | 3.6 |
| 8000 | 4 | 6400 | 32000 | 38400 | 6 | 4.8 |
| 12000 | 6 | 6400 | 72000 | 78400 | 10 | 6.533333 |
| 16000 | 8 | 6400 | 128000 | 134400 | 14 | 8.4 |
| 20000 | 10 | 6400 | 200000 | 206400 | 18 | 10.32 |
| 24000 | 12 | 6400 | 288000 | 294400 | 22 | 12.27 |
(b) Shutdown price is when the average variable cost is minimumas below that, the variable costs will not get covered. Hence, AVCminimum is 2. Which is quantity= 4000 (Shutdown Quantity)
The breakeven price is the minimum of the Average Total Costwhich is at Quantity 4000: as let’s say the Price is 3.6 which isequal to the lowest ATC, then the Total Cost= 4000*Avg cost=4000*3.6
and the Total Revenue will be 40000*3.6 (Price) Hence, 0profit.
Therefore, the breakeven quantity is between 4000-8000
(C) Market Price is given as 10$
Hence, profit maximization is when Marginal Cost= MarginalRevenue= 10
Hence, Profit maximization is when MC=10, which is 12000quantity.
(d) Profit = Total Revenue- Total Cost (We will calculate at12000 units since maximum profit is at that quantity)
Profit= Price*Quantity- ATC*12000
Profit= 10*12000- 6.5333*12000= 120000- 6.54*12000= $41520
(e) Market Supply= Quantity at profit maximization * TotalNumber of firms ( As all firms would like to produce at profitmaximization quantities)
Market Supply= 12000*600= 7,200,000
(f)
The breakeven price is the minimum of the Average Total Costwhich is at Quantity 4000: as let’s say the Price is 3.6 which isequal to the lowest ATC, then the Total Cost= 4000*Avg cost=4000*3.6
and the Total Revenue will be 40000*3.6 (Price) Hence, 0profit.
Therefore, the breakeven quantity is between 4000-8000
