Complete the table. Round off to the nearest dollar.
At what price is the zero-profit point?
At what price is the shutdown point?
If the company sells the computers for $550, is it making aprofit or a loss? How big is the profit or loss?
If the firm sells the computers for $315, is it making a profitor a loss? How big is the profit or loss?
We expect the marginal cost to increase as this firm producesmore computers. But when the firm shifts from producing 1 to 2computers, marginal cost falls. What might explain this?
