- A9 The characteristics of a "perfectly competitive" market require that there is 1) a large number of firms, 2) producing products that are identical across firms, 3) in an industry where there are no barriers to entry. It's unlikely that any industry accurately reflects these extreme assumptions, but what industries can you think of that do display these characteristics at least to some extent? Try to identify the limits of your example in reflecting "perfect" competition.Question 3 The current market price in a competitive industry is $15. Every firm in the industry operates a technology that implies costs described by the function C = 12.5 + 0.3Q2. In the future, the technology is expected to change, and the new cost function will then be C = 10 + 0.2Q2. How much profit is the typical firm making today and in the long run? O. Profit is zero both today and in the long run. O. Profit is 125 both today and in the long run. O. Profit is 175 today and zero in the long run. O. Profit is 250 today and 125 in the long run.5. (a) What do we mean by “price taker”? Explain why a firm in perfect competition is a price taker.How is this price determined? Explain. (b) “The demand curve for a perfectly competitive firm ishorizontal and it is also the firm’s marginal revenue curve.” Explain.
- . A firm in a perfectly competitive industry currently faces a market price of $20 and is maximizing profit by producing 500 units of output at this price. The firm’s total costs are $14,000, of which $5,000 are fixed costs. a) How much profit is the firm making? (Show how you determine this.) b) Should the firm continue to produce in the short run? Explain fully. c) Should the firm continue to produce in the long run? Explain clearly WHY the long run decision may be different than the short run decision, assuming the firm expects no changes in demand conditions.Price (dollars per packet of chips) Quantity demanded (millions of packets of chips per year) Quantity supplied (millions of packets of chips per year) 4 135 26 5 104 53 6 81 81 7 68 98 8 53 110 9 39 121 C: Harry-Chips is a firm in the potato chips industry. Harry-Chips produces 10 million packets of chips per year at an average total cost (ATC) of $4. What is Harry-Chips short-run profit or loss per year? Explain your answer in detail. D: Given your answer in part d, would new firms enter or existing firms exit the market? What would be the long-run impact on Harry-Chips’ profit or loss? Explain in detail.(a) What are the basic assumptions that need to be satisfied for a market to be called perfectly competitive? List them one after the other. (b) What must be satisfied (in the general case) for a firm to be maximizing profit in the short run? (That is, what condition must hold at the profit-maximizing output level for a general firm in the short run?)
- 1)When a perfectly competitive firm is at its profit-maximizing level of output, we can say that itA) is producing where MC = AC.B) is producing where price exceeds marginal cost.C) is doing as well as it can and is making a profit.D) may be making a profit or incurring a loss.E) is producing where P = AVC. note: please tell me the explanation as well. 2 -In long-run equilibrium a perfectly competitive industryA) losses are tolerable because of the high fixed cost.B) in order to stay in the industry each firm is making an economic profit.C) each firm is producing at the minimum point on its LRAC curve.D) individual firms will have no incentive for technological improvement.E) must exhibit economies of scale. note: please tell me the explanation as well.Answer the following: 1. Assuming that the product’s price is P58 per pack, should the competitor sell in the short-runWhy or why not?If it decides to sell, what will be the profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing output per day)?What is the profit (or loss) that the seller can realize per day? What is the profit (or loss) per pack?A. Assuming that the product price is P42 per pack, answer the same questions in letter A.B. Because of increasing sellers of masks in the market, the product’s price further decreased to P32per pack. Again, answer the same questions in letter A.C. When is this seller going to shut down?D. Now generate the seller’s supply curve of mask in the short run.5. Consider the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves shown in Figure 7.13. Assume that the firm represented is able to cover its variable costs if it operates in the short run. What is the firm's optimal output level? a. 150 units b. 80 units c. 50 units d. less than 50 units e. between 50 and 80 units Choose and explain your answer above thoroughly--graphical, algebraically, numerically.
- Linda sells 100 bottles of homemade ketchup for $10 each. The cost of the ingredients, the bottles, and the labels was $700. In addition, it took her 20 hours to make the ketchup and to do so she took time off from a job that paid her $20 per hour. Linda’s accounting profit is while her economic profit is.

What is the firm's marginal cost at a production level of two units? What is the average variable cost at a production level of five units? This firm becomes profitable producing at a quantity of ___ units. The average total cost is smallest at which level of production? At what quantity should this firm produce to maximize their profits based on your calculations? The total costs to produce four units is __________ while the average total cost to produce four units is _________.(a) Why the competitive firm faces a relatively horizontal demand curve. (b) The profit maximization rule for a perfectly competitive firm states that the perfectly competitive firm will maximize its profits when it produces that quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost for the last unit produced and sold. In your own words explain why the firm is better off producing that quantity where MR = MC rather than that quantity where MR > MC or that quantity where MR < MC. (c) Should a firm shut down and why if its revenue is R=$ 1, 000. Its variable cost VC=$ 500 and its sunk fixed cost is F= $ 600. Its variable cost VC=$ 1, 500 and its sunk fixed cost is F= $ 500.
