The graph above illustrates the electricity market. Consider market competition between firms where price is based on AR and select the most appropriate answer. Question 5 options: in the short-run, the demand curve and average revenue shift as other firms enter the market and increase competition. in the short-run, the demand curve and average revenue shift as other frims leave the market and decrease competition. in the long-run, the demand curve and average revenue shift as other frims enter the market and increase competition. in the long-run, the demand curve and average revenue shift as other frims leave the market and decrease competition.
1. It is 1908 and you are the CEO of Ford Motor Company. General Motors startedproducing cars this year and has quickly become your chief rival. Their recent entrance, as wellas your assembly line methods, allows you the advantage of producing cars faster and choosingyour output levels first. Assume the 1908 inverse demand function for cars is P = 3900 - Q(customers view cars as identical products at this point in time) and production costs are C(qi) =100qi. a. What is Ford’s profit-maximizing output level? GM's?b. What is the market equilibrium price?c. How much profit does each firm earn?d. As the assembly line is used by other firms, the first-mover advantage disappears (fast forward100 years to present day), and more firms have entered the market (e.g. FCA, Tesla, Hyundai,Toyota, Honda, etc.), what do you expect to happen to Ford’s profit (assume demand andcosts are the same)? Explain.e. From 1908 into the 1920s, Ford offered customers one car: the Model T. Further, Henry isfamous…
Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consiber the competitive market for rhodium. Assume that no matter how many firms operate in the induatry, every firm is identical and faces the same marpinal cost (MC), averapt total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC ) curves plotted in the following praph. The following graph plots the market demand curve for thodium. If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of rhodium would be per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would. Therefore, in the long run, firms would the rhodium market. Because you know that competitive firms earn economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be firms operating in the rhodium industry in long-run equilibrium. True or False: Assuming implicit costs are positive, each of the firms operating in this industry in the long run earns positive accounting profit. True False
Consider the fish market where demand is given by the following equation: P=52-Q where P is the price in dollars and Q is the quantity in kilos. All firms are identical and the marginal cost is 12. 15-If the market were competitive, what would the price be and how many units would be produced? You must provide your calculations. 16-If the market was made up of only one firm (a monopoly), what would the price be and how many units would be produced? You must provide your calculations. 17-If the market was made up of two firms (a duopoly) and they chose their level of production simultaneously: what would the price be and how many units would be produced by each firm? You must provide your calculations. 18-If the market was made up of two firms (a duopoly) and firm 2 was dominant (i.e. it chose its level of production first): what would the price be and how many units would be produced by each firm? You must provide your calculations. 19-Compare the quantities produced by each of the…

Now, let’s assume “Allergy Gone” enters a competitive market (after the expiry of patent period) where there are numerous other firms also selling similar allergy medication. Using the graph above, find out the equilibrium price and quantity in the competitive market and explain in 1-2 sentences (Hint: In a competitive market, equilibrium is determined where D(AR) curve intersect with the supply curve). Calculate consumer surplus and producer surplus in this market.
