Firms in the market for dog food are selling in a purely competitive market. A firm producing dog food has an output of 10,000 pounds of dog food, for which it sells for $0.50 a pound. At the output level of 10,000 pounds the average variable cost is $0.40, the average total cost is $0.70, and the marginal cost is $0.50. What do expect will happen in the long-run? Explain.
What is the formula for profit maximization by firm ? Why does this result in the marginal cost curve becoming the same as the supply curve for firms in perfect competition? what is the difference between the short run and long run ? Why does this difference matter in our discussion of firm behavior?

Which of the following is NOT an assumption of perfect competition? Select one. 1.There are no restrictions on entry into the market 2. There are many buyers 3.There are many firms, each selling an identical product 4. The price each firm sets differs from the prices set by the other firms

Under conditions of perfect or pure competition, or close to those conditions, producers (firms) are what are called “price takers”. This means that the price for the product that they are selling is determined by the market. No matter how little or how much product they supply, they can sell all they want at that price. If they were to price their product higher, they will sell zero. Which of the following is true? The price is equal to marginal revenue but not average revenue The price is equal to marginal revenue and average revenue The price is equal to average revenue but is not equal to marginal revenue The price is above both marginal revenue and average revenue
