- Briefly explain using a graph whether given statement is true or false. ‘To maximise profit, a firm should produce the quantity where the difference between marginal revenue and marginal cost is the greatest. If a firm produces more than this quantity, then the profit made on each additional unit will be falling.’arrow_forwardBriefly explain what the market will illustrate when perfectly competitive firms produce at the quantity where P = MC and explain why this happens.

- Perfect competition is an extremely rare type of market in the real world. This is because the conditions necessary for perfect competition are difficult to meet. Write about an example of perfect competition (or at least a market that is very close to perfect competition). Find an example of a market that seems to be perfectly competitive. Explain how your example satisfies the four conditions necessary for perfect competition. Do sellers in the market you’ve described brand themselves to consumers? Does this support the idea that this market is perfectly competitive? Explain. Do different sellers in the market you’ve described charge different prices for their product? Does your answer support the idea that this market is perfectly competitive? Explain. Does it seem as if the example you mentioned is allocatively efficient? In other words, does the market produce enough of this good (or does it produce too much or too little)? Explain.arrow_forwardThe following graph summarizes the demand and costs for a firm that operates in a perfectly competitive market. a.

What is the firm’s total variable cost at this level of output? e. What is the firm’s fixed cost at this level of output? f. What is the firm’s profit if it produces this level of output? g.

Firms in the market are producing output, but they are currently making economic losses. a) How does the price of fertilizer compare to the average total cost, the average variable cost, and the marginal cost of producing fertilizer?b) Draw a graph, illustrating the present situation for the typical firm that is making losses.c) Assuming there is no change in demand or the firm's cost curves, explain what will happen in the long run to the price of fertilizer, marginal cost, average total cost, the quantity supplied by each firm, and the total quantity supplied to the marketarrow_forwardWhat is special about a purely competitive market?arrow_forward

The market and the firm are currently in long‑run equilibrium at point A. Show what happens in the short run on both graphs when a new medical study shows soybeans to be highly carcinogenic. On the market graph, you will shift a curve or curves. On the firm's graph, use Price 2 to draw a new price line for the firm. On both graphs, indicate the new equilibrium point with point B. Now, show the changes that get both graphs back to long‑run equilibrium. Use shift(s) for the market and Price 3 for the firm. Indicate the new long‑run equilibrium with point C.arrow_forwardSuppose the market for bottled water and the market for soft drinks both have large numbers of buyers and sellers.
