Would a firm earning zero economic profit continue to produce in the long run?

No, a firm earning zero economic profit would not continue to produce in the long run because it would not be covering all its costs, including opportunity costs.


Can opportunity cost be zero?

Opportunity cost can be zero if there are no scarcity in goods and services and resources used to produce such commodities that can lead consumers to make a choice to fulfill their wants


If the firm closes down in the short-run total cost will equal zero?

In the short run, if a firm decides to close down, its total variable costs will become zero because it stops production. However, total fixed costs, which include expenses like rent and salaries, will still exist and must be paid, meaning total cost will not equal zero. Therefore, while the firm avoids variable costs, it still incurs fixed costs, resulting in total costs greater than zero.


Do you agree or disagree with the following statement when marginal revenue equals marginal cost total cost equals total revenue and the firm makes zero profit?

No it is not true. MC=MR it's "only" the condition of optimization of the firm. This is the condition under which the firm chooses the best quantity to produce given its cost structure. Under this condition you are sure that given that structure the firm maximizes its profits. But this does not implies that the firm is actually making profits(f.e. it could miximize its profits simply making a loss of -21 instead of -22). To be sure of that you have to consider the total cost function. The total cost function is defined as: TC=qxVC+FC than you have to consider the revenue function TR=qxP to see if the firm it's actually making profits you have to calculate TR-TC=Profit note that you can't find the total cost function by the marginal cost function. q=quantity VC=variable cost FC=fixed costs P=price of item sold


At zero production what are variable costs?

At zero production variable cost will be zero because variable cost is the cost occured for producing a product but their will be some fixed cost.
