When should the firm raise production, and when should the firm lower production?Which of the following is not an assumption we make about perfectly competitive markets? a)Firms are price-takers b)Firms sell identical products c)Firms earn positive profit in the short-run but zero profit in the long-run d)Firms can freely enter or exit the market in the long-run e)All of the above are valid assumptionsWhich of the following characteristics does NOT describe a perfectly competitive market?

- In a purely competitive market at its long-run equilibrium, which of the following is not true? a The marginal benefit of the last unit of the product equals the marginal cost of producing that unit. b The maximum willingness of buyers to pay for the last unit of the product equals the minimum acceptable price for the seller of that unit. c Price equals marginal cost, and they are equal to the lowest attainable average cost of production. d The combined amount of consumer and producer surpluses is at its minimum possible.Under certain assumptions, the perfectly competitive market can be used to explain the three conditions that satisfy general equilibrium and pareto optimality. Identify these assumptions and carefully discuss the three (3) conditions for Pareto OptimalityExplain in detail how purely competitive markets, in the long-run, know how to adjust to and provide the correct output, at the correct price. Give an example of a good or service you might buy that is closest to being in a purely competitive market. Explain your logic.
- In a perfectly competitive market, why can’t prices above the competitive equilibrium price prevail in the long run? Sellers will use market power created by shortage to push prices down Sellers will use market power created by surplus to push prices down Buyers will use market power created by shortage to push prices down Buyers will use market power created by surplus to push prices downSuppose the government imposes an excise tax on the production of a good produced in a perfectly competitive market that was in long run equilibrium.

- Suppose that as the output of mobile phones increases, the cost of touch screens and other component parts decreases. If the mobile phone industry features pure competition, we would expect the long-run supply curve for mobile phones to be: a. Upward sloping. b. Downward sloping. c. Horizontal. d. U-shaped.Answer both parts a and b please. Part a) True or False: In a competetive market, a firm's short run supply curve is sloping upwards due to diminishing returns of the variable input. Explain why. Part b) Are long run supply curves always upward sloping? Explain why or why not with a graph.Assume the firms in a perfectly competitive market are initially incurring economic losses. An increase in supply would cause existing firms' economic losses to decrease. True OR False?
