- Suppose the competitive market price is $60, and a competitive firm’s total costs = q^2 - 6q + 990 and marginal cost = 2q - 6. a. Solve for the profit-maximizing (or loss minimizing) quantity (q*). b. What is the market equilibrium price? c. Should the competitive firm produce q*? Explain why using one of the four key questions and solutions. d. Does the competitive firm make a profit? Explain why using one of the four key questions and solutions. e. How much profit (or loss) does the competitive firm make?M/c question - Micro 31) Refer to Figure 14-13. When a firm in a competitive market, like the one depicted in panel (a), observes market price rising from P1 to P2, what is most likely the cause? A. the exit of existing firms in the market B. an increase in market supply from Supply0 to Supply1 C. the entrance of new firms into the market D. an increase in market demand from Demand0 to Demand1 30) A profit-maximizing firm in a competitive market discovers that, at its current level of production, price is greater than marginal cost. What should it do? A. It should increase its output. B. It should reduce its output but continue operating. C. It should shut down. D. It should keep output the same.You witnessed new firms entering a competitive market. What can you infer for the existing firms in that market?
- Assume that the gold-mining industry is perfectly competitive. a) Illustrate a long-run equilibrium using diagrams for the gold market and for a representative gold mine. b) Suppose that an increase in jewelry demand induces a surge in the demand for gold. Using your diagrams, show what happens in the short run to the gold market and to each existing gold mine. c) If the demand for gold remains high, what would happen to the price over time? Specifically, would the new long-run equilibrium price be above, below, or equal to the short-run equilibrium price in part b)? Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution.

You will get up vote for sure.Suppose that a firm’s management would be pleased to increase its share of the market but if it expands its production, the price of its product will fall. Will its profits necessarily fall? Why or why not?you've been learning about what makes a market perfectly competitive, how a firm in a perfectly competitive market makes profit-maximizing decisions, and how a perfectly competitive market moves towards equilibirium. But how applicable is this to real life? For this discussion, try to think of a market (for a product or service) that is perfectly competitive or very close to it. What characteristics of the market make it like perfect competition? Are there factors that keep it from being perfectly competitive? If so, what are they? How close do you think the firms in this market are to perfectly competitive firms in choosing equilibrium price and quantity?
- Firms in the market for soccer balls are selling in a purely competitive market. A firm in the soccer ball market has an output of 5,000 balls, which it sells for $10 each. At the output level of 5,000 the average variable cost is $6.00, the average total cost is $7.50, and the marginal cost is $10.00. What would you expect the firm to do in the short run? Why? What would you expect the market to do in the long run? Why?If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of steel would be $______per ton. At that price, firms in this industry would ______(shut down/operate at a loss/ earn a positive profit/ earn zero profit). Therefore, in the long run, firms would__________(enter/ exit/ neither enter nor exit) the steel market. Because you know that competitive firms earn______(zero/ negative/ positive) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_____per ton. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be_____(10/20/30) firms operating in the steel industry in long-run equilibrium.The following diagram shows the market demand for steel. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 30 firms.

- Consider the competitive market for products known as Bergers where there are 500 firms – with each firm in equilibrium. a.Draw the graph of the market and the graph of one of these initial 500 firms in its equilibrium that includes the curves for P, MC and ATC. b. Suddenly, a huge number of entrepreneurs enters the market so the number of firms increases by 500. Please draw what happens to the market and to the firm in the short run on the graphs above. Does the P increase or decrease? Does q increase or decrease? Does Q increase or decrease?Be sure to label the graphs. Suppose in the competitive market for a good known as “Tovars” that there are 5,000 firms. Assuming each firm is at a point where P=ATC. Suddenly, a huge number of entrepreneurs enters the market so the number of firms increases by 1,000. a. Please draw a graph showing the short run effect. Please label the price and quantities initially as P1, q1, Q1 and the short run price and quantities as P2, q2, Q2 b. On the graph in a, please show the long run effect. Please label the long run price and quantities as P3, q3, Q3. Relative to the initial equilibrium (before the entrance of 1,000 firms), What happens to the P? What happens to the q? What happens to the Q?Suppose that the price of corn, a crop produced in a perfectly (or purely) competitive industry, increased 208% last year as demand for corn‑based ethanol fuel increased. What do you expect to happen in the long run for the corn industry given this recent success? A. The price per bushel of corn will continue to increase, yielding higher profits. Thus, more firms will enter the market indefinitely. B. Profits will become negative due to overfarming, which will result in the corn farming industry going under. C. Profits will be equal to zero. D. None of the above. Suppose the firms in the market for bacon, also a perfectly (or purely) competitive industry, experienced losses last quarter due to people becoming increasingly concerned about how high-fat diets negatively impact health.
