The accompanying graph shows the short-run demand and cost situation for a price searcher in a market with low barriers to entry. Price (dollars) 24 10 V ATC The firm will receive $ MR Quantity/time The firm will maximize its profit at a quantity of▼ units. D Options: 6, 8, 9, or 10 After choosing the profit maximizing quantity, the firm will charge a price of in revenue at the profit-maximizing quantity. The total cost of production for this profit-maximizing quantity is $ The maximum profit the firm can earn in this situation is How will the situation change over time? Options: 6,8 10, or 24 per unit for this output. O Profits will attract rival firms into the market until the profit-maximizing price falls to the level of per-unit cost. O The market will adjust until the price charged by this firm no longer exceeds marginal cost at the profit-maximizing quantity. O This market is already in long-run equilibrium, and will not change throughout time. O Losses will induce firms to leave…
