# Answer to Question #49397 in Microeconomics for susie

Question #49397
Suppose that at 100 units of output a monopolist is producing such that marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost. The firm is selling its output at a price of $8 per unit and is incurring average variable costs of$5 per unit and average fixed costs of $4 per unit. On the basis of this information we can conclude that the firm is: operating at maximum profit by producing the 100 units of output operating at a loss that could be reduced by shutting down operating at a profit that could be increased by producing more output operating at a loss that is less than the loss incurred by shutting down Expert's answer If at 100 units of output a monopolist is producing such that MR = MC, and P = &nbsp;$8 per unit, AVC = $5 per unit, AFC =$4 per unit.&nbsp;On the basis of this information, ATC = AVC + AFC = 5 + 4 = $9 per unit,&nbsp;TP = (P - ATC)*Q = (8 - 9)*100 = -$100, but ATC &gt; P &gt; AVC (9 &gt;8 &gt; 5).
So, we can conclude that the firm is:&nbsp;d) operating at a loss that is less than the loss incurred by shutting down.
