Suppose a perfectly competitive firm produces 40 units of output per-period (e. g., daily) and sells all units for the market price of $6. if average fixed cost is $2, average variable cost is $1, and marginal cost is $6, then the firm:
i. is maximizing total profit by producing and selling 40 units of output
ii. earns a per-period total profit of $120
iii. earns a per-period total profit of $240
iv. should close down in the short run and suffer a loss equal to $80

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
