- Market Representative Firm MC АТС $8 AVC A $6 MR = P %3D D1 20,000 100 125 Quantity (Q) Output (Q) The diagram above depicts overall market supply and demand on the left, and the cost curves for a representative firm supplying in that market on the right. When the market reaches its Long Run Equilibrium, we should expect the firm to produce and the equilibrium quantity in the market to be 125; less than 20,000 125; more than 20,000 100; less than 20,000 O 100; more than 20,000 Pricearrow_forwardA dairy firm has an inverse demand curve: P = 240 - 2Q. The firm faces constant marginal costs of USD 4/unit. The firm's profit-maximizing level of profit is: A. 6802 B. 6402 C. 7702 D. 6962arrow_forwardA competitive company will maximize profits or minimize losses in the short term by generating production in which MR = P = MC, given that the price exceeds the minimum variable average cost.

- Long-run market supply curves are downward sloping if Group of answer choices All of these. input prices fall as the industry expands. firms are identical. the number of firms is restricted in the long run.arrow_forwardIn a perfectly competitive market: marginal costs will be less than average costs. all firms will produce an equal amount of output. market price will equal the total cost of production. total industry costs of production are minimized.arrow_forwardIf a firm's average variable cost curve decreases when the firm increases its output, then the firm is below the shutdown/operate output level. True or Falsearrow_forward
- Consider our discussion on technological change. Assume for the moment that 3D printers become as cost effective as injection molding. In the long run, how does this impact firms, the industry, consumers and society? Part a) Consider the change in minimum effective scale (MES) Part b) How would the industry change Part c) How would benefit, who would be hurt?arrow_forwardA profit-maximizing firm in the short run will expand output until marginal cost begins to rise until total revenue equals total cost until marginal cost equals average variable cost as long as marginal revenue is greater than marginal costarrow_forwardDetermining the Effect of Taxes on a Market Suppose all firms in a constant cost industry have identical costs of C(q)=5q²+6q+20. The market demand is Qo=256 – 2p. (a) Find the long-run equilibrium: Q*, q*, p*, and N*. (b) Suppose the government restricts the market to 41 firms. To do so, firms are required to get i permit to operate, but only 41 permits are issued in total. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. (c) Suppose instead of permits, the government simply charges all firms a fixed fee to operate of F=60. What is the resulting equilibrium price, quantity, and number of firms?arrow_forward
- In the short run, a firm will produce a positive amount of output as long as _____ Group of answer choices price exceeds average variable cost. price is less than average variable cost. fixed cost exceeds total revenue. price exceeds marginal cost. average variable cost is less than average total cost.arrow_forwardA manufacturer of electric switches in a competitive industry has a fixedmonthly cost of $50,000, total monthly variable cost $100,000, and marginalcost of $5. What is the profit if the monthly production is 100,000 units?Assuming that prices of switches fluctuate from month to month, what is the lowest price the manufacturer can accept in order to stay in business in the long run and in the short run. Will those prices be the same? Show detail workarrow_forward
