Explanation / Answer

Answer:

Solution :

Total cost = AC*Q

AC/ATC = $3000

Q/units of good = 50

TC = $3000*50

= $150,000

2. The firm will sell rice: d. 1600

As given that equilibrium price is $6 and it is a perfect competitive market. In the perfect competitive market price, MC, MR, AR (demand) are equal so the equilibrium quantity will be 1600 where MC is equal to Price that is $6.

3. The firm will make profit : b . 0

As output quantity is equal to the demand
