3. Suppose the market for rolled oats is perfectly competitive and is in a long-run equilibrium. For the following. be sure to carefully label your graphs and use subscripts as we have done in class! You can give your answers for each part on the same graphs. a. Draw the graphs below that illustrate the market and a representative firm in the initial long-run equilibrium (use the subscript 1 to denote each curve). What profits is the representative firm earning?...
Long Run Equilibrium 4. Suppose each firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the same long run total cost function T C(q) = 16+q^2 . The market demand curve is QD = 100−P. (a) What 3 equations define a Long Run Perfectly Competitive Equilibrium? (b) How much quantity q ∗ does each firm produce in Long Run Perfectly Competitive Equilibrium? (c) What is the market price P ∗ in this equilibrium? (d) Find the market quantity Q∗ . ( e)...
1. (18pts) Suppose there are 100 firms in a perfectly competitive industry. Short run marginal costs for each firm are given by SMC = q + 2 and market demand is given by Qd = 1000-20P (5pts) Calculate the short run equilibrium price and quantity for each firm.. b. (3pts) Suppose each firm has a U-shaped, long-run average cost curve that reaches a minimum of $10. Calculate the long run equilibrium price and the total industry output.. (4pts) What is...
If the donut industry is perfectly competitive and is in long-run equilibrium, then the price of a donut Question 20 options: A) equals long-run average cost. B) is greater than marginal cost. C) is greater than long-run average cost. D) is greater than short-run average cost. The industry that produces zangs is in long-run equilibrium. Then the demand for zangs increases permanently. As a result, firms in the industry will ________. Some firms will ________ the industry, and the industry...
1. Suppose that a perfectly competitive industry is at a long-run equilibrium (each individual firm producing a quantity corresponding with minimum average cost). This implies that the following condition holds P = MC = AC. Assume that all firms have identical cost structures and the cost of inputs used in production (such as labor, raw material, intermediate goods, etc.) stays the same as the industry expands or contracts (i.e. constant-cost industry). a. Show with graphs and explain with words what...
31 In perfectly competitive industries: A. the shont-run market supply curves are positively sloped в. long-rusniustry supply curve,are positively sloped. C. the short-run D. All of the above E. Only B and C are correct market supply curves are more clastic than the long-run industry supply curvers s3. Assame a perfectly-competitive, increasing-cost industry composed of identical firms is initially in long-run equilibrium. Given a decrease in demand, in the short ran: equilbrium price decreases, equilibrium output increases, the output of...
6. Suppose that the trucking market is a perfectly competitive industry in long run equi librium. Each of the identical trucking firms has the same (long run) cost function: TC = 2250 + 10q2, where q is the volume of sales by each establishment. Each of the identical firms therefore have the same marginal cost: MC = 20q (a) What is the average cost function for the identical trucking firms? (b) How much does each individual firm produce in the...
37. If every firm in a perfectly competitive industry experiences the same technological improvement, then A. the firm's short-run supply curves will shift to the right. B. the industry's short-run supply curve will shift to the right. C. the industry's long-run supply curve will shift downward or to the right D. All of the above statements are true. E. Only A and B are true. D, a, ap, o, 38. In a perfectly competitive, constant-cost industry, the long-run equilibrium price...
1. (5 points) Assume that a perfectly competitive industry is in long run equilibrium. Then an improvement in technology reduces the average total cost and marginal cost of all firnis. In the long run what happens to price, economic profits, and number of firms in the industry? Please give an explanation.
Suppose that a perfectly competitive industry is in long-run equilibrium. The price of a complement good decreases. What will happen? A. Next period a typical firm will increase output. B. Next period a typical firm will earn positive economic profit. C Eventually firms will exit the industry. D. both a and b E. all of the above will happen
