The total fixed cost is $60 per month. (a) If the price per visit is $60, at what level of visits will the maximum profit position be? (b) What are the profits at this level?(c) What is the quantity supplied? (d) If the total fixed cost increases to $80 and the price per visit is $60, what is the quantity supplied (assuming maximizing profits)?
quantity per visits supplied:1,2,3,4,5,6,
total variable cost: 20,50,90,140,210,290
Answer.
Quantity | TR | MR | TVC | TFC | MC | TC | PROFIT =TR-TC | TC for TFC=80 | Profits* |
1 | 60 | - | 20 | 60 | - | 80 | -20 | 100 | -40 |
2 | 120 | 60 | 50 | 60 | 30 | 110 | 10 | 130 | -10 |
3 | 180 | 60 | 90 | 60 | 40 | 150 | 30 | 170 | 10 |
4 | 240 | 60 | 140 | 60 | 50 | 200 | 40 | 220 | 20 |
5 | 300 | 60 | 210 | 60 | 70 | 270 | 30 | 290 | 10 |
6 | 360 | 60 | 290 | 60 | 80 | 350 | 10 | 370 | -10 |
* Profit is maximum at 4 units per visit supplied and $40 is the profit. And, for TFC $80 profit is maximum at 4 units only.
