At what output rate does the firm maximize profit

Reference no: EM13207185

Short run profit maximization A perfectly competitive firm has the following fixed and variable costs in the short run. The market price for the firm's product is $150.

TC=VC+FC TR=output*150 profit=TR-TC

Output 0, FC $100, VC $0, TC 100, TR 0 Profit /Loss -100
output 1, FC $100, VC $100, TC 200 TR 150, Profit/loss -50
output 2, FC $100, VC $180, TC280, TR300, Profit/loss20
output 3, FC $100, VC $300, TC400, TR450, Profit/loss50
output 4, FC $100, VC $440, TC540, TR600, Profit/loss60
output 5, FC $100, VC $600, TC700, TR750, profit/loss50
output 6, FC $100, VC $780, TC880, TR900, profit/loss20
