Question

Suppose that a firm is currently maximizing its short-run profit at an output of 50 units. If the current price is $9, the marginal cost of the 50th unit is $9, and the average total cost of producing 50 units is $4, what is the firm's profit

Answer 1

$250

Step-by-step explanation:

Profit = Total revenue - Total cost

Profit = ($9*50 units) - ($4*50 units)

Profit = $450 - $200

Profit = $250

Thus, the firm's profit will be $250.
