Solution

To calculate the profit or loss, we first need to find the total revenue and total cost.

  1. Total Revenue (TR) = Market Price (P) * Quantity (Q) TR = 570=5 * 70 = 350

  2. Total Cost (TC) = Average Total Cost (ATC) * Quantity (Q) TC = 870=8 * 70 = 560

  3. Profit or Loss = Total Revenue - Total Cost Profit/Loss = 350350 - 560 = -$210

So, the profit/loss amount at the profit-maximizing quantity is -210.Thismeansthefirmismakingalossof210. This means the firm is making a loss of 210.
