The graph above shows the demand (D), marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for one of many profit-maximizing firms operating in the short run in an industry in which there are no barriers to entry. Each firm sells a similar but not identical product. (a) What will happen to total revenue if the firm raises the price from $9 to $12? Explain.

(b) At 16 units, is the firm producing at the allocatively efficient quantity? Explain.

(c) If the firm produces 12 units, will the firm’s economic profit be positive, negative, or zero? Explain.

(d) Use the relationship between the marginal cost curve and the average total cost curve to explain why the average total cost curve is increasing at 20 units.

(e) Calculate the consumer surplus if the firm charges the profit-maximizing price. Show your work.

like many students at university, you may be unhappy about the results you attain in exams. you may feel that even with all you are doing there must be something more -- or different-- you could be doing to get better grades. we have all at some time or other heard of that student who only studies a couple of hours for final exams and scores a's every time. we stand in awe of those who seem to breeze through without undue effort and seem to need very little in the way of studying to nail an exam. the reasons for success, in what i think are the vast majority of cases, are less esoteric than many students think: successful students consistently apply a series of productive strategies with view to attaining clearly identified learning and grade goals throughout the academic term.
