Consider the market for ice cream. Suppose that this market is perfectly competitive.The cost structure of the typical ice cream producer is as follows. Average total cost is equal to50ATC(Q) =+;Q, average variable cost is equal to AVC(Q)Q, and marginal cost is equal toMC(Q) = Q.How many ice cream cones will each producer sell in a long-run equilibrium in the market for icecream?

Answer: A perfectly competitive firm maximizes its profit where the average total cost (ATC) is…

Consider the market for ice cream. Suppose that this market is perfectly competitive. The cost structure of the typical ice cream producer is as follows. Average total cost is equal to ATC(Q) : 1 50 + ÷Q, average variable cost is equal to AVC(Q) =÷Q, and marginal cost is equal to MC(Q) = Q. %3D How many ice cream cones will each producer sell in a long-run equilibrium in the market for ice cream?

The market for fertilizer is perfectly competitive. Firms in the market are producing output but are currently making economic losses. Which of the following statements is true about the price of fertilizer? Check all that apply. The price of fertilizer must be less than average total cost. The price of fertilizer must be equal to average variable cost. The price of fertilizer must be less than marginal cost. Assuming there is no change in either demand or the firm's cost curves, which of the following statements is true about what will happen in the long run? Check all that apply. Average total cost will decrease. The quantity supplied by each firm will decrease. The total quantity supplied to the market will decrease. Marginal cost will decrease. The price of fertilizer will increase.
According to marginal analysis, a perfectly competitive firm will produce an output level where what is true about its Marginal Revenue and its Marginal Cost?
The market for drones is perfectly competitive. Assume for simplicity that fractions of everything, including number of firms, is possible. We have identical firms, each with a Total Cost curve of TC=862+q^2 and Marginal Cost curve MC=2q. Market demand is Q=856-2P. What is the number of firms in the market in the long run equilibrium?
Which of the following is not a necessary condition for long-run equilibrium under perfect competition? A)no firm has an incentive to enter the market b)no firm has an incentive to exit the market c)prices are relatively low d)each firm earns zero economic profit
In the long-run equilibrium of a competitive market with identical firms, what are the relationships among price (P), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC)?
The graph below shows a perfectly competitive firm in short run equilibrium, where the firm has chosen the output level maximizing its profit. Consider the level of profits being earned here, and what will happen over time. What will happen in the long run? Note that the horizontal demand curve, D1, is also equivalent to marginal revenue and price. Group of answer choices The market price will increase causing economic profits to increase Demand will increase causing economic profits to increase The market price will decrease until economic profit is zero
