![]() Now let's imagine another scenario, let's imagine this price level. The firm to keep operating at this situation even in the long run because it is at least break-even. So no longer attracting, attracting entrants. It stays in the market or it exits the market,īut you're no longer likely attracting entrants, Here the firm is neutral about whether in the long-run, Sub-two is equal to the average total cost, so the firm is break-even. Revenue, which in this case is the price, and this wouldīe, my lines aren't completely straight there but you get Until the marginal cost is equal to the marginal The prices until you get to a price that looks something like this. Probably have more and more entrants into the market, I wanna make just as much money as this donutĬompany right over here, than this firm, and so you'll Many profitable firms in that market, it will Profitable firm in this market and you're likely to have Want to stay in the market but because you have a The firm is profitable, firm is profitable, it would Than the average total cost, we have a situation where Times the actual quantity so because P one is greater The price minus the average total cost at that quantity It's getting is higher than its average total costĪnd so there is going to be a nice amount of profit for this firm. Good situation for the firm because the price that Sub-one, the firm would produce Q sub-one, and this is a Would be the same thing as the marginal revenue. Quantity, so that's why it's horizontal, and it Here is not going to be a function of the firm's And if we're talking aboutĪ competitive market, then this price right over Where the marginal cost and the marginal revenue is meet. Video, we already said it would be rational forĪ profit-maximizing firm to produce at a quantity ![]() Here, so let's call this P sub-one and in a previous What would be a positive scenario for this firm. It's in a very competitive or we could say a perfectlyĬompetitive market and so it is a price-taker. We're going to think about how this firm would react underĭifferent market conditions. And of course the difference between, for any given quantity,īetween the average total cost and the average variable cost, that is the average fixed cost. And the same thing happens once it crosses the average total cost. Unit is going to bring up the average variable cost. Unit is going to bring down the average variableĬost, but then when marginal cost crosses average variable cost, well now every incremental Marginal cost is below average variable cost, every incremental How that relates to average variable costs, that while The cost of each incremental unit as a function of quantity could go up because of things like coordination costs. We go into some depth several videos ago, but we see that trend, that marginal cost, can trend down initiallyīecause as quantity increases each incremental unit could benefit from things like specialization. So in the donut industry, and we can see how the marginal cost relates to the average variableĬost and average total cost. This is the graph for a particular firm, maybe it's making donuts So, you may want to brush up on them.- We've spent several videos already talking about Note: The lesson on systems of linear equations assumes that you know these skills. Graph that point, then use the slope (m) to find other points. ![]() You can learn how to do this at: ģ) If the equation is in slope intercept form: y=mx+b, you are given a point, the y-intercept at (0, b). See examples at: Ģ) Find the X and Y intercepts. If you can line up 3 points in a straight line, you likely don't have errors.ġ) Pick a value for X and use the equation to calculate the corresponding Y value. If you want to ensure that you have good points, then you would also calculate a 3rd point. You can graph any line by calculating two points on the line.
