  • Calculating the Equilibrium Output Level

    Change in equilibrium level of output (due to change in spending)=66.67 Change in equilibrium level of output (due to change in taxes)=-16.67 Net change in equilibrium level of output=66.67+(-16.67)=50 New equilibrium level of output=2400+50= 2450

  • Industry Output and Market Share

    In the case of Abba, it will choose an output level of 6000 units because marginal cost is equal to marginal revenue, i.e. price at this level of output.

  • Calculating profit maximizing output level

    Given your answer to question (b) above, assume that ATC at that level of output is $10. What are the firm's profits? d. Now assume that the firm produces 100 units of output and at that level of output ATC = $11.

  • Finding optimal output level

    Total Revenue=Price*output level=10*100=$1000 Let us find ATC at output level of 100 units. We see that a vertical line from output level of 100 units intersects ATC curve at a point where ATC is somewhere between $7 and $8 per units.
