Abuilding contractor entered into a contract with the local college to remodel a residence hall during the summer. as specified by the contract, the work had to be completed before the fall semester began at the beginning of september. because the contractor received a great deal of other maintenance business from the college, his price of $400,000 was significantly lower than other contractors and he was not going to demand payment until the work was completed. by the end of the first week in august, the contractor had completed 75% of the project and had expended $350,000 in labor and materials. at that time, however, a labor dispute between the contractor and his employees prompted most of the workers to walk off the job. because prospects for a quick settlement of the dispute were doubtful, the contractor informed the college that he would not be able to meet the completion deadline. a week later, the college obtained another contractor who was able to finish the project by the end of august. the college paid him $150,000, which included a substantial amount of overtime for his workers. the increase in value of the residence hall due to the remodeling was $425,000.the original contractor, who had not been paid, files suit against the college, which files a counterclaim against him. what should the contractor recover from the college? a nothing, because the contractor breached the contract. b $200,000 in restitutionary damages, which is the difference between its expenditures and the amount the college paid the other contractor to complete the work. c $250,000 in restitutionary damages, which is the contract price minus the amount the college paid the other contractor to complete the work. d $275,000 in restitutionary damages, which is the difference between the value of the completed remodeling and the amount the college paid the other contractor to complete the work.

5. profit maximization and shutting down in the short run suppose that the market for polos is a competitive market. the following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 price (dollars per polo) quantity (thousands of polos) mc atc avc for each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the previous graph to identify its total variable cost. assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (hint: you can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the previous graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) price quantity total revenue fixed cost variable cost profit (dollars per polo) (polos) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) (dollars) 12.50 135,000 27.50 135,000 45.00 135,000 if the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (fc) in the short run. in this case, the firm's fixed cost is $135,000 per day. in other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $135,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease). this firm's shutdown price—that is, the price below which it is optimal for the firm to shut down—is per polo.
