assume that a perfectly competitive firm has MC=AVC=$12, MC=ATC=$20, and MC=MR=$24. On the basis of this information, can we tell what level of output will the firm choose? Is the firm making a profit? Is the firm making a rent?
On the basis of this information, can we tell what level of output will the firm choose?
The firm chooses to produce at MC=MR=$24 as the profit is maximum at MC=MR=P in the perfect competition
Is the firm making a profit?
The firm is making a profit as
Profit=(P-ATC)*Q
P>ATC as MC=P at $20 and MC=MR at $24
Is the firm making a rent?
Yes, as the firm is earning economic profit in the short run so it is earning rent as rent is the profit above the long-run profits.
