Microsoft prices will be less than marginal cost. O b. Microsott prices will equal marginal cost. O c. Microsoft prices wil be a function of supply and demand and will therefore oscillate around marginal costs. O d. Microsoft prices will be higher than marginal cost.Quantity Price 0 20 1 18 2 16 3 14 4 12 5 10 Are the price and quantity combinations above for a perfectly competitive industry? Select one: O a. No, they are not because the demand curve should be perfectly elastic. O b. No, because the quantities are too low. O c. Yes, they are because the demand curve is downward sloping. O d. Yes, they are because the price falls the same amount for each increase in quantity. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism. Answer completely. You will get up vote for sure.Suppose you are a perfectly competitive firm producing computer memory chips. Your production capacityis 1000 units per year. Your marginal cost is $10 per chip up to capacity. You have a fixed cost of $10,000 ifproduction is positive and $0 if you shut down. What are your profit-maximizing levels of production andprofit if the market price is ( a ) $5 per chip, ( b ) $15 per chip, and ( c ) $25 per chip?

O. Option 1: shifts the demand curve out and increases the price. O. Option 2: shifts the supply curve up and increases the price O. Option 2: it shifts the demand curve up and increases the quantity. O. Option 2: shifts the supply curve up and increases the quantity.Two firms with the same (constant) marginal costs are engaging in Bertrand competition. One of the companies exits the industry. As a aconsequence, the price for the other firm increases by 50%. What is the elasticity of demand in this market?O. 3O. 2O. 2.5O. 4Answer 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.
