Firm X is the only firm in its industry. Currently, Firm X charges $75 per unit, a price well in excess of its marginal cost of $5 per unit, and earns $70 million per year in profit. According to a trusted source, the manager of Firm X learned that a new firm is contemplating entering the market. This would reduce its profit to $40 million per year. If Firm X expanded its output and lowered its price to $50, the entrant would find it unprofitable to enter the market, and Firm X would earn profits of $50 million per year for the indefinite future. Explain and show your work:
a. What pricing strategy is the manager of Firm X considering?
b. If Firm X was able to credibly commit to maintain a price of $50, would it be a profitable strategy? Explain.

Consider a perfectly competitive market that is currently in a short-run equilibrium, and where each firm in the market is making strictly positive profits. Each firm in the market is using a technology called the type A technology. Suppose that the type A technology is available in some finite number. Passed some threshold, new firms that would enter the market would have to use the type B technology, a different (and inferior) technology. The type B technology results in a higher long run average total cost curve than the type A technology. Given that the market exhibits positive profits in this short run equilibrium, new firms are going to enter the market. Claim: In the long run equilibrium, all firms in the market will be making zero economic profits. prove whether the claim that long run profits are 0 is true or false in this case. The use of graphs, whenever appropriate, is encouraged.
