Assume that the market determined price is $10 in a perfectly competitive industry. A firm is currently producing 100 units of output. Average total cost is $8 while marginal cost is $8 and average variable cost is $6. Is the firm producing the profit-maximizing level of output? Why or why not? If not, what should the firm do?
Total Cost Function (TC) for every firm in perfect competition is: C = 0.1 q2 + q + 10
Industry demand function is Q = 4,000 - 400p
1) Determine profit or loss for every firm if firms number is 100
2) Determine firms numbers to long run equilibrium

Draw the average variable cost curve if the price occurs at minimum average variable cost. Label it. Draw a point to indicate the shutdown point.arrow_forwardConsider an industry where there is perfect competition (with the conventional horizontal long-run market supply curve). Initially, all of the firms are making zero economic profit, then, the price of an important input falls so that firms all make positive economic profit in the short run, but in the long run economic profit returns to zero. Draw this using a two-panel diagram. Draw the representative firm panel on the left-hand-side and the market panel on the right-hand-side. Your diagram must be carefully drawn and properly labelled. Explain why, referring to your diagrams, in the long run profit returns to zero.
