5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.

Uppose that the federal reserve purchases a bond for $100,000 from donald truck, who deposits the proceeds in the manufacturer’s national bank. what will be the impact of this purchase on the supply of money? the money supply will increase by $100,000. the money supply will increase by $80,000. the money supply will increase by $500,000. this action will have no effect on the money supply. if the reserve requirement ratio is 20 percent, what is the maximum amount of additional loans that the manufacturer’s bank will be able to extend as the result of truck’s deposit? the maximum additional loans is $100,000. the maximum additional loans is $80,000. the maximum additional loans is $20,000. the maximum additional loans is $500,000. given the 20 percent reserve requirement, what is the maximum increase in the quantity of checkable deposits that could result throughout the entire banking system because of the fed’s action? this action will have no effect on the money supply. the money supply will eventually increase by $80,000. the money supply will eventually increase by $500,000. the money supply will eventually increase by $100,000.
