Answer the following statements true (T) or false (F)
1. As long as an additional unit of output yields a marginal revenue larger than its marginal cost it will be adding to total profits of the firm. 2. If MR > MC for a competitive firm, it should reduce its level of output in order to make MR equal to MC. 3. In the short run, a competitive firm will not produce unless price is at least equal to average total costs. 4. In the short run, fixed costs are important in determining a firm's optimal level of output. 5. In pure competition, a competitive firm‘s supply curve is that section of its marginal cost curve above ATC and at any price below the average cost, the firm will produce nothing.
