A perfectly competitive firm is making an economic profit when
A) its total revenue is greater than its total cost. B) the price is greater than the minimum of its average total cost. C) the price is greater than the minimum of its average variable cost. D) Both answers A and B are correct.
A monopolist faces a demand curve given by P = 20 - Q and has total costs given by TC = Q2. By using a bit of calculus, you should be able to determine that the firm's marginal revenue is MR = 20 - 2Q and its marginal cost is MC = 2Q. Now suppose that the country in which this monopolist is located decides to engage in international trade. The world price of the product produced by the monopolist is $12. The profit-maximizing output level is 6, and the profit-maximizing price equals $12. What are its monopoly profits at this price and quantity?
a. $25 b. $36 c. $50 d. $75
