a. rise c. remain unchanged

b. fall

Explanation / Answer

23. The answer is option a, because in a price taker firm supply is given by MC.

24. The firm will produce where P = MC.

6 = 0.2q+ 2, 4 =0.2q, q=20. TC = 110 TR = 120 ,Profit = TR-TC = 10

So answer is option a)

25. Now q = 30. TC = 180, TR =180. Profit = 0.

So answer is option b.

26 Now put 0.2q+2 = 10 . This gives q = 40. SO correct option is c
