Will be Horizontal.
Explanation :
When good is identical, that means it is same. So when good is identical firm will face horizontal demand curve because this firms will falls under perfect competition. They have to charge whatever the market price is because if they charge higher than that price no one will buy product. Because he can get easily that good from another firm and good is not different. So it will face horizontal demand curve.
QUESTION 4 If consumers view the output of any firm in a market to be identical...
cardboard boxes are produced in a perfectly
competitive market. each identical firm has a short run total cost
curve of TC= 3Q^3 - 12Q^2 +16Q + 100, where Q is measured in
thousands of boxes per week. calculate the output for the price
below which a firm in the market will not produce any output in the
short run. ( i.e., the output for the shut down price)
a 2^1/2
b. 2
c. 1/2
d. 1/square root of 2
2)...
In which of the following types of markets does a single firm have the most market power? Multiple Choice Perfect competition. Monopolistic competition. Oligopoly Monopoly A perfectly competitive firm is a price taker because Multiple Choice The price of the product is determined by many buyers and sellers It has market power. Market supply is upward-sloping. Its products are differentiated. Competitive firms cannot individually affect market price because Multiple Choice There is an infinite demand for their goods. Demand is...
Question 14 The monopolist's demand curve is: o identical to the market demand curve. identical to the marginal revenue curve. O a horizontal line at the market price. below the marginal revenue curve. a U-shaped curve.
Question 11 Suppose that a price-searcher firm had consumers who were all identical to each other. The individual consumer's demand function is given by: qp- 40 -3P. The firm decides to try a second-degree price discrimination scheme. The first 18 units will have a price of $7.33. After that, any units a consumer purchases will be only $2.33. The firm has a constant marginal cost of $1.33 per unit. Calculate the consumer surplus. Tries remaining:2 Points out of 8.33 Flag...
1. Suppose there are two potential customers in the market. One has demand function D1(p)=10-p . The other has demand function D2(p)=20-2p. The only firm in this market has constant marginal cost of 2. (1) Draw the two demand curves in a graph, with price on the vertical axis and demand on the horizontal axis. (2) (3rd-degree price discrimination) If the monopoly can identify the two consumers and charge different prices to them, what is the optimal price charged to...

The market for sweet potatoes consists of 1,000 identical firms. The market demand curve is given by Qd = 1000 – 5P. Each firm has a short-run total cost, SRTC = 100 + 100q + 100q^2 , where q is output. In short-run market equilibrium, each individual firm will a. earn a profit. b. earn a loss. c. earn zero economic profit. d. produce an output of q = 4.
Suppose that a price-searcher firm had consumers who were all identical to each other. The individual consumer's demand function is given by: qD= 40-4P. The firm decides to try a second-degree price discrimination scheme. The first 18 units will have a price of $5.50. After that, any units a consumer purchases will be only $2.75. The firm has a constant marginal cost of $1.00per unit. Calculate the consumer surplus.
Question 2 (20 marks) Consider the market for gasoline, which is perfectly competitive. Each firm in the industry produces gasoline with the same technology and has cost function: c(a) 200+5q+1/2xq. bach consumer has demand for gasoline given by g (p) 10-0.1p where p is the price of gasoline. All consumers have identical demand functions (a) Find the short-run supply curve for a typical firm. (5 marks) (b) Suppose there are 10 firms in the market. Find the short-run aggregate supply...
