Both competitive and monopolistically competitive firms a. can maximize profit by raising price. b. cannot control or set their own price c. can maximize profit by producing to...
28. Refer to Figure 14-13. If the price is $2 in the short run, what will happen in the long run? a. Individual firms will earn positive economic profits in the short run, which will entice other firms to enter the industry b. Individual firms will earn negative economic profits in the short run, which will cause some firms to exit the industry. c. Because the price is below the firm's average variable costs, the firms will shut down. d....
In the long run, all of the firms in a perfectly competitive industry will: exit the industry if price is greater than average total cost. produce at an output level at which average total cost equals marginal cost. earn an economic profit greater than zero. O produce an output level at which price is greater than average total cost. Which statement about the differences between monopoly and perfect competition is INCORRECT? A monopoly will charge a higher price and produce...
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...
1) Compared with a purely competitive industry, a monopolist produces a. more output at a lower price. b. less output at a higher price. c. more output at a higher price. d. less output at a lower price. 2) Which one of the following statements about monopoly firms and firms in a purely competitive industry is true? a. In the long run, monopoly firms and firms in a purely competitive industry operate at the minimum point of their average total...
The monopolist chooses to produce: O at an inefficient outcome. where marginal cost equals marginal revenue. at a lower quantity than the perfectly competitive firm. O All of these statements are true. In the short run, monopolistically competitive firms: will earn zero economic profits by acting like a monopolist. O can earn positive economic profits by acting like a perfectly competitive firm. will earn zero economic profits by acting like a perfectly competitive firm. can earn positive economic profits by...
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...
a declines continually as output increases. Question 8 In perfectly competitive long-run equilibrium: all firms make positive economic profits. all firms produce at the minimum point of their average total cost curves. the industry supply curve must be upward sloping. all firms face the same price, but the value of marginal cost will vary directly with firm size. Question 9
1)An example of a perfectly competitive firm would be Dannon Yogurt a grain farmer a car manufacturer a drug company 2) In the long run the profit for a Perfectly competitive firm is theoretically ["zero", "small", "large", "negative"] because of ["competition", "lack of competition", "good cost controls", "poor cost controls"] 3)in the short run a P.C. industry will see ["entries and exits", "entry only", "losses", "only exits"] to/from the market based on ["positive profits to firms", "profits and losses to...
