7. Suppose the same firm's cost function is C(q) 4q² + 16. a. Find variable cost, fixed cost, average cost, aver- age variable cost, and average fixed cost. (Hint: Marginal cost is given by MC = 8q.) b. Show the average cost, marginal cost, and average variable cost curves on a graph. = c. Find the output that minimizes average cost. d. At what range of prices will the firm produce a pos- itive output? e. At what range of prices will the firm earn a nega- tive profit? f. At what range of prices will the firm earn a positive profit?
