Question: Chapter 11: Problems and Applications #3.3 (you do not need to graph), pg.406.
Frances sells earrings in the perfectly competitive earring market. Her output per day and costs are as follows:
| OUTPUT PER DAY | TOTAL COST |
| 0 | $1.00 |
| 1 | 2.50 |
| 2 | 3.50 |
| 3 | 4.20 |
| 4 | 4.50 |
| 5 | 5.20 |
| 6 | 6.80 |
| 7 | 8.70 |
| 8 | 10.70 |
| 9 | 13.00 |
a. If the current equilibrium price in the earring market is $1.80, how many earrings will Frances produce, what price will she charge, and how much profit (or loss) will she make? Draw a graph to illustrate your answer. Your graph should be clearly labeled and should include Frances's demand, ATC, AVC, MC, and MR curves; the price she is charging; the quantity she is producing; and the area representing her profit (or loss).
b. Suppose the equilibrium price of earrings falls to $1.00. Now how many earrings will Frances produce, what price will she charge, and how 'much profit (or loss) will she make? Show your work. Draw a graph to illustrate this situation, using the instructions in question (a).
c. Suppose the equilibrium price of earrings falls to $0.25. Now how many earrings will Frances produce, what price will she charge, and how much profit (or loss) will she make?
