1. In the long run the effect of economic profits is to: Increase market supply and increase market price. Decrease market supply and increase market price Decrease market supply and decrease market price. Increase market supply and decrease market price. 2.To maximize profits, a competitive firm will seek to expand output until: Price equals marginal cost. The elasticity of demand equals 1. Total revenue equals total cost. Price equals $0. 3.A firm should shut down production when: P < minimum...

C. the market demand for the product supplied by a firm is inelastic. D. long-run average cost continues to increase as the quantity of output increases. 2.) A monopoly: A. can increase price and increase output at the same time. B. can charge any price it wants and still sell all of...
Question 19 (Mandatory) (5 points) In short-run equilibrium, a firm in a monopolistically competitive market produces at a level of output at which OA) no new entry will occur. OB) the revenue generated by selling an additional unit is equal to the cost of producing the additional unit. C) the firm breaks even. D) the revenue per unit is equal to the cost per unit. Question 20 (Mandatory) (5 points) A natural monopoly OA) is a market in which long-run...
9. Economic fluctuations II The following graph shows the short-run aggregate supply curve (AS), the aggregate demand curve (AD), and the long-run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) for a hypothetical economy. Initially, the expected price level is equal to the actual price level, and the economy is in long-run equilibrium at its natural level of output, $120 billion. Suppose a bout of severe weather drives up agricultural costs, increases the costs of transporting goods and services, and increases the costs of producing goods...
28 When there are external economies of scale, an increase in the size of the market will: A) not affect the number of firms, but will lower the price per unit. B) decrease the number of firms and lower the price per unit. C) decrease the number of firms and raise the price per unit. D) increase the number of firms and raise the price per unit. E) increase the number of firms and lower the price per unit. -...
Question 1 (25 points) Your company has a market share of 25%. The total market size is $100 million. Your contribution margin (the ratio of the contribution per unit over the price per unit) is 20%. Your variable cost is $16 per unit. You are thinking of hiring 10 more salespeople. The annual cost per salesperson (including salary and benefits) is $120,000. In addition, each salesperson receives as a bonus 10% of the sales he or she generates. How much...
7 Consider a typical aggregate demand and supply curve of an economy operating at its long-run equilibrium. Express the condition for long-run equilibrium and graphically show the long- run equilibrium of this economy in an AD-AS diagram. Explain and graphically show how a positive AD shock affects the short-run equilibrium of this economy. How do the price level and rGDP change in the short term as a result? a. b. Does the positive AD shock result in a recessionary gap...
The graph presents the costs and revenue for a perfectly (purely) competitive firm, where the market price is equal to $600 per unit of output. This firm has a fixed cost equal to $3,600. Use this information to determine the optimal output and profit for this firm. What is the optimal output of this perfectly (purely) competitive firm? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Cost and revenue $2400 2200 2000 1800 Average 1600 total cost Marginal cost Average...
7. Assume that the long-run production function can be expressed as Q-SKL? Where Q is quantity of output, K is the quantity of capital and L is the quantity of labor. If capital is fixed at 10 units in the short run then the short-run production function is: Q=10KL b. Q=50KL? Q=10L? d. 0=50L Q=500KL 8. For a linear total cost function: a. MC will be downward sloping b. MC = AVC c. AVC is upward sloping and linear d....
