QUESTION 6 Industry is a perfectly competitive industry. Assume that as a result of changes in other markets there is a twenty percent increase in the price of variable inputs used by firms in industry Y. After all adjustments have taken place, we would expect the equilibrium price in industry Yto: increase and the number of firms to increase. decrease and the number of firms to increase. increase and the number of firms to decrease. decrease and the number of...

Question: Why in the long run, the purely competitive firm in a constant cost industry achieves only normal profits? Select one: a. New firms entering the industry increase supply, reduce price and squeeze out the the economic profit. b. In the long run, normal profit is not the only situation that can face a purely competitive firm . c. New firms entering the industry do not affect supply since they divide up the existinng market, but costs to the firm...

Suppose that the price of corn, a crop produced in a perfectly (or purely) competitive industry, increased 208% last year as demand for corn based ethanol fuel increased. What do you expect to happen in the long run for the corn industry given this recent success? The price per bushel of corn will continue to increase, yielding higher profits. Thus more firms will enter the market indefinitely. Profits will become negative due to over farming, which will result in the...

Problem 1. (13 points) Markets: Perfect Competition. Assume that a perfectly competitive, constant cost industry is in a long run equilibrium with 35 firms. Each firm is producing 90 units of output which it sells at the price of $39 per unit; out of this amount each firm is paying $5 tax per unit of the output. The government decides to decrease the tax, so the firms will be paying $3 tax per unit. a) Explain what would happen in...
