3. Entry and exit in the long run Suppose that bike manufacturers in a competitive price-searcher market earn negative profits in the short run. In this scenario, there manufacturers in the industry than there would be in long-run equilibrium. Now consider the long run in which bike manufacturers are free to enter and exit the market. The following graph shows the demand curve in the market for bikes. Considering the situation just described, shift the demand curve on the graph to show how the demand curve facing an individual firm in the industry would change in the long run. Firm's Demand Curve Firm's Demand Curve QUANTITY (Bikes) PRICE (Dollars per bike)

The Android phone market is highly competitive since there is a large number ofcompanies and potential entrants. For simplicity, assume each firm has an identical coststructure, and the cost does not change with new firms’ entry. Each firm’s long-run average costis minimized at 300 and the minimum average cost is $150 per unit. Total market demand isgiven byQ = 15,000 − 50P.a. What is the Android phone market’s long-run supply curve? b. What is the long-run equilibrium price (P∗) and total industry output (Q∗)? Howmany companies are competing in this market?c. The short-run total cost curve for each firm is given by STC = 0.5q^2 − 150q +20000, where q is the firm’s production quantity. Find the short-run marginal cost(SMC) for each firm. What is the market short-run supply curve?d. Suppose Android phone has become more popular and the market demandcurve shifts outward to Q = 20,000 − 50P. In the *short-run*, find the new equilibriumprice. What is the new equilibrium price in…
A firm sells its product in two different markets. The inverse demand in market A is PA = 72 - 5QA and in market B, it is PB = 60 - 3QB. It has fixed costs of 72. Each unit it produces costs 12, i.e., marginal cost equals 12. To maximize profits, what quantities of output will be sold in each market and what will total profits be?

(e) In short run, perfectly competitive firms shut down if price is below average variable cost.
The market for Ramen noodle bowls is perfectly competitive. Market demand is given by Q=67-3P. If 19 bowls of noodles are demanded in the market, what is market price? Enter a number only. Remember, fractions of goods are possible.
In a price-taker market, a higher economic profit: O indicates that other goods that could have been produced with the same resources are of higher value and firms should exit. O will be earned by producers in the long run than in the short run. is earned by the firms that set their price above the level set by other producers. Osignals additional resources to flow into the production of a good that has a high value to consumers relative to production costs.
