Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the relevant information from Figure 14-2, such as the firm's output level at the market price of \$6, the average total cost (ATC) at that output, and the quantity produced.
Determine the quantity produced by the firm where the market price (\$6) equals the firm's marginal cost (MC) in the short run, since firms maximize profit where $P = MC$.
Calculate the total revenue (TR) by multiplying the market price by the quantity produced: \(TR = P \times Q\).
Find the total cost (TC) by multiplying the average total cost (ATC) at the chosen output by the quantity produced: \(TC = ATC \times Q\).
Compute the short-run economic profit by subtracting total cost from total revenue: \(\text{Profit} = TR - TC\). This will give you the firm's short-run economic profit at the market price of \(6\).
