The table below shows the total cost (TC) and marginal cost (MC) for Baker Street, a perfectly competitive firm producing different quantities of apple pies. The market price of apple pies is $5.00 per pie. a. Fill in the marginal revenue (MR) and average revenue (AR) columns. Instructions: Round your answers to two decimal places. Baker Street's Costs and Revenues

At the market price of $5.00 per apple pie, how many apple pies should Baker Street make? apple pies c. If the market price for apple pies were to rise to $7.00 per apple pie, how many apple pies should Baker Street make? apple pies
a. Since the apple pie market is assumed to be a competitive market, a supplier can sell any quantity for the market price of $5.00. If a supplier increases the quantity sold by one unit, revenue will increase by the price this unit is sold
for, which is the market price of $5.00. Therefore, marginal revenue is also $5.00. Average revenue is the average revenue per unit sold, and is calculated as total revenue divided by quantity. b. Baker Street reaches a profit maximum when MR = MC. The MR and MC curves intersect at a quantity of 25. Therefore, Baker Street maximizes profits when producing a quantity of 25 apple pies. c. If the market price rises to $7.00, MR equals $7.00. This is because now every additional unit can be sold for $7.00. The new MR curve could be graphed as a horizontal line at $7.00. This line would intersect with MC at a quantity of roughly 30 units. At this quantity, MC equals the new MR and thus profits are maximized.
