- The graph shows the cost curves for a perfectly competitive firm. If the market price of the product is $1.25 per unit, then the firm will earn how much profit per unit in the short run?arrow_forwardAssume the industry for flour tortillas in Denver is perfectly competitive. There are 200 firms. Seventy-five of the firms are “high-cost,” with short-run supply curves QHC = 5P. The other 125 are “low-cost,” with short-run supply curves QLC = 8P. Quantities are measured in dozens of tortillas and prices in dollars. Derive the short-run industry supply curve for tortillas QS. Assume the market demand curve for tortillas is given by QD = 10,000 − 625P. Find the market equilibrium price and quantity. At this price, how many dozens of tortillas are produced by the high- and low-cost firms, respectively? Determine total industry producer surplus at the equilibrium.

Draw the industry supply and demand curves and the demand curve for a single wheat farmer. Explain why the wheat farmer is a price trackerarrow_forwardA perfectly competitive firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC on the rising portion of the firm’s marginal cost curve. At that output level, it has the following costs and revenues: TC = $830,000 VC = $525,000 TR = $428,000 Given that the firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC, calculate the amount of profit (loss) this firm earns. is it Profit=TR-TC?arrow_forwardThe graph shows an individual firm in a perfectly (purely) competitive industry.

- Draw the cost curves for a typical firm. Explain how a competitive firm chooses the level of output that maximizes profit. At that level of output, show on your graph the firm's total revenue and total costs.arrow_forwardA perfectly competitive firm is currently maximizing profits. The market for its product is in a long-run equilibrium. Market demand for the product decreases. Summarize what will happen in the market in the long run. Discuss the changes that will occur in the long run for the firm and explain why. You do not need to discuss why each cost changes, but do explain why the firm ends up where it does relative to where it was at the beginning and where it was in the short run.arrow_forwardThe diagram above represents a perfectly competitive firm that faces a demand curve d. Answer the following questions. Show all calculations. From the diagram, how many units should this firm produce to maximize profit? From the diagram data, calculate the firm’s total profit. Assuming no changes in the costs of production, in the long run how much will this firm produce and at what price? From the diagram, at what price will this firm break even? From the diagram, at what price should this firm shut down?arrow_forward
