The minimum average total cost is currently lower than price. In the long run,
(a) What happens to price?
(b) What happens to the number of firms?(c) What happens to firm’s profit?
Homework Answers
The minimum average total cost is currently lower than price. In the long run,
- the price will fall due increase in supply as a result of entry of new firms in the market. Higher supply will reduce the price.
- no of firms will increase with new entrants attracted by positive economic profits
- The firms' profits will fall to normal level to the extent that all economic profits are removed and price becomes equal to the average total cost of production.

For a constant cost industry in which all firms the same cost functions, their long-run average cost is minimized at $10 per unit output and 20 units (i.e. q = 20). Market demand is given by QD=DP=1,500-50P. Find the long-run market supply function Find the long-run equilibrium price (P*), market quantity (Q*), firm output (q*), number of firms (n), and each firm’s profit. The short-run total cost function associated with each firm’s long-run costs is SCq=0.5q2-10q+200. Calculate the short-run average...

Consider the following information about a firm’s long-run total costs (assuming that other firms could produce at the same cost values): qA TC 0 0 100 2200 200 3600 300 5400 400 7600 500 10000 For each value of qA (except when qA = 0), provide the numerical value of the firm’s average total cost AC. Then, compare these AC values with the firm’s AVC (average variable cost) values at each value of qA. For any given level of qA,...
The minimum possible average total cost of producing rubbing alcohol in the long run is $2...
The minimum possible average total cost of producing rubbing alcohol in the long run is $2 per bottle. Suppose in the perfectly competitive rubbing alcohol industry firms are receiving a price of $4 per bottle for their product in the short run and there are constant returns to scale. Other things being equal, it follows that:

Question 3 Long-run average total cost (LAC) O a represents the lowest average cost of producing a given level of output. b. is always equal to or greater than short-run average total cost. c. can be measured in the short-run. If a firm is producing the level of output at which long-run average cost equals long-run marginal cost, then a long-run marginal cost is at its minimum point b. long run average cost is at its minimum point. c long...

If long run equilibrium price in a perfectly competitive market is $20 per unit. If government imposes a $18 per unit price ceiling and firms continue to produce a positive level of output, this implies that for firms after the price ceiling: a) Average total cost is lower than $18 b) Average fixed cost is lower than $18 c)Marginal cost is lower than average variable cost. d)Average variable cost is lower than $18
