Explanation / Answer

5. C
In a Monopolist competitive environment, a firm produces differentiated products and hence has a degree of control over the price in Short run but in long run, the firm makes 0 Economic Profits. Hence, it produces where Average Total Cost is equal to the Price.

6. B
Accounting profits will take the Revenue and cost of operating.
Revenue for 50 items is 500 and cost is 100. Thus, accounting profits are 400.

7. C

Average product is the total output divides by the number of workers, i.e. 15/3 = 5

8. D

Marginal Product
Till the 1st worker is 3
Till the 2nd worker is 4
Till the 3rd worker 5
Till the 4th worker 5.2
Till the 5th worker 5.2
Till the 6th worker is 4.6
Thus, we can see that it diminishes when 6th worker is hired.
