A) Suppose that Quinoa is produced with labor (L) and land (K). The markets for labor, land, and quinoaare all perfectly competitive, but the supply of labor and land are both upward sloping (i.e. not perfectlyelastic). As a result, the long-run industry supply curve for quinoa is upward sloping.i) Is producer surplus positive or zero in the long-run?ii) If all firms producing quinoa have identical production technology, do quinoa producers earn aprofit in the long-run?iii) In the long-run, where does producer surplus go in the quinoa market? B) Suppose the market for shoelaces is perfectly competitive and all firms have identical productiontechnology. If short-run profits for shoelace manufacturers are positive, what will happen to the supplyof shoelaces in the long-run? The price of shoelaces?

Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is 10 and P1 is 11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to bleak into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firms average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues. to produce 6,000 units, how much output would the two films supply to the market? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn?

Why will profits for films in a perfectly competitive industry tend to vanish in the long run?
Course: Microeconomic - Production Function and Perfect Competence Markets Establish the veracity of the following comments and explain your answer.1. The long-run industry supply is always infinitely elastic, since the free entry and exit of firms forces it to be located at the long-run minimum average cost. Explain. Graph is needed. 2. Assuming that the prices of the factors of production remain constant and there are no entry barriers, in the face of a positive demand shock, the price in the industry in the long run will not be affected. Explain Graph is needed 3. In the short run, the supply curve of a perfectly competitive industry ALWAYS has a positive slope. Explain Graph is needed 4. In perfect competition, a firm's supply is given by the increasing part of the marginal cost function. Explain Graph is needed
A market is in long-run equilibrium and firms inthis market have identical cost structures. Supposedemand in this market decreases. Describe whathappens to the profit-maximizing output quantityfor individual firms as the market leaves and thenreturns to long-run equilibrium.
In Brazil, coffee beans are cultivated by a very large number of small farms that all produce beansof similar quality and taste at similar costs. Land is still plentiful, and the equipment required isaffordable enough to allow new farming businesses to start up under current market conditions.However, better production techniques, especially alternatives to polluting fertilisers anddeforestation, are needed in this industry. Using the theory and models of industry structure, examinethis industry. Should government be worried about any aspect of how an industry with this marketstructure will perform?
