Look at Table 8.13. What would happen to the films profits if the market price increases to 6 per pack of raspberries?
Firms ill a perfectly competitive market are said to be price takers that is, once the market determines an equilibrium price for the product, firms must accept this price. If you sell a product in a perfectly competitive market, but you are not happy with its price, would you raise the price, even by a cent?
What two lines on a cost curve diagram intersect at the zero-profit point?
Will a perfectly competitive market display allocative efficiency? Why or why not?
A market in perfect competition is in long-run equilibrium. What happens to the market if labor unions are able to increase wages for workers?
Productive efficiency and allocative efficiency are two concepts achieved in the long mm in a perfectly competitive market. These are the two reasons why we call them perfect. How would you use these two concepts to analyze other market structures and label them imperfect?
Explain how the profit-maximizing rule of setting P=MC leads a perfectly competitive market to be allocatively efficient.
A firms marginal cost curve above the average variable cost curve is equal to the films individual supply curve. This means that every time a firm receives a price from the market it will be willing to supply the amount of output where the price equals marginal cost. What happens to the films individual supply curve if marginal costs increase?
If new technology in a perfectly competitive market brings about a substantial reduction in costs of production, how will this affect the market?
Would you rather have efficiency or variety? That is, one opportunity cost of the variety of products we have is that each product costs more per unit than if there were only one kind of product of a given type, like shoes. Perhaps a better question is, What is the right amount of variety? Can there be too many varieties of shoes, for example?
