In long run equilibrium for a perfectly competitive firm; the firm will produce where

A. Marginal cost is at a minimum
B. Average fixed cost is at a minimum
C. Average variable cost is at a minimum
D. Average total cost is at a minimum

Height of a marginal product product curve shows:

A. the additional cost of producing one more unit of a good

B. the additional production from producing one more unit of the good.
C. the additional production from hiring one more unit of the variable input
D. the additional average product from hiring one more unit of the variable inpu
t

Expert Solution

1.

D. Average total cost is at a minimum

Explanation :

In long run, perfectly competitive firm earns zero economic profit. It produce where price =MC =MR =minimum ATC.

2.

C. the additional production from hiring one more unit of the variable input.

Explanation:

marginal product is the extra product produced by the addition of one more extra unit of input.

Marginal cost is the extra cost occurred with the production of one more extra unit.

At long-run equilibrium in a perfectly competitive industry the typical firm is breaking even in an opportunity cost sense. T/F Perfectly competitive markets include firms that have significant market power, with one typically being the price leader. T/F In perfectly competitive markets, the individual firm’s demand curve is flat, while the market demand curve is typically sloping downward to the right. T/F When a firm maximizes profits, its price is derived from where marginal revenue crosses marginal cost (extend the...

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...

Draw graphs showing a perfectly competitive firm and industry in the long-run equilibrium. a. How do you know that the industry is in long-run equilibrium? Long-run when quantity demanded=quantity supplied, no entry and not exit as firms are breaking even. (Which holds true when the P=ATC) b. Suppose that there is an increase in demand for this product. Show and explain the short-run adjustment process for both the firm and the industry. Market demand curve shifts to the right. Equilibrium...

When a profit-maximizing firm in a monopolistic competitive market is in long-run equilibrium, marginal cost is rising since an increase in production would increase average total cost. true or false The product-variety externality associated with monopolistic competition arises because in markets that are monopolistic competitive markets, firms try to differentiate their products. true or false If the monopolistic competitive firm is currently producing output at a level where the marginal cost curve intersects the demand curve, then it is producing...
