Question

Refer to the information provided in Figure 15.5 below to answer the question(s) that follow.  Figure 15.5
-Refer to Figure 15.5. Assume The Custom Sweater Shop has fixed costs of $500 and is a monopolistically competitive firm. If the firm produces the profit-maximizing level of output and sells it at the profit-maximizing price, the firm ________ of $400.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a monopolistically competitive market, the profit-maximizing level of output and price is determined where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. If the firm's fixed costs are $500 and it suffers a loss of $400, it means that its total costs exceed its total revenue by $400. This scenario does not provide specific details about the revenue or the variable costs, but the information given indicates that the firm's total costs (fixed plus variable) are higher than its total revenue, leading to a loss.
