In competitive markets, there are many small firms with each firm unable to influence the market price. Suppose company ABX operates in the wheat market. The company produces and markets wheats at a Price = $20 per container. The firm’s total costs are given as: TC = 50 +2Q + 3Q2 What is the firm’s demand curve? Show it on a graph and label the axes showing P and Q
Why can't a perfectly competitive firm charge a price premium (sell at a higher price) relative to other firms in the industry (what would happen if a firm attempted to do so)? What is the term given to perfectly competitive firms since they must sell at the market equilibrium price?
If there were 60 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would be $________ per kilogram. At that price, firms in this industry would (earn a positive profit, shut down, earn zero profit, operate at a loss). Therefore, in the long run, firms would ( enter, exit, neither enter nor exit) the titanium market. Because you know that perfectly competitive firms earn (positive, zero, negative) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_______ per kilogram. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be (20, 40, 60) firms operating in the titanium industry in long-run equilibrium.
Consider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 121 – Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market. In the short run there are 4 firms in the industry, and each firm has a total cost function of TC = 25 + 6q + q2, where q is output of the individual firm. In the long-run market equilibrium what is the number of firms in the industry? Group of answer choices 26 15 5 110 21
Suppose that the perfectly competitive for market for milk is made up of identical firms with long-run total cost functions given by: TC = 4q³-24 q² + 40 q Where, q = litres of milk. Assume that these cost functions are independent of the number of firms in the market and that firms may enter or exist the market freely. If the market demand is : 1. What is the long-run equilibrium price? Number Qd = 6,000 - 120 P 2. What is the quantity produced by each firm? Number 3. What is the number of firms in the industry? Number 4. Suppose that market demand increases to Qd = 11,000 - 157.14 P. What is the new long-run equilibrium number of firms? Number

Assume the firms in a perfectly competitive market are initially incurring economic losses. An increase in supply would cause existing firms' economic losses to decrease. True OR False?
There are 80 firms of type A and 60 firms of type B in a perfectly competitive market. On one hand, type A firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $12 and average variable cost is 2q. On the other hand type B firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $10 and the variable cost is 3q. Market demand function is given by Q = 1200 - 70P Find the equilibrium price in the market . 8 12 10 7 There are 80 firms of type A and 60 firms of type B in a perfectly competitive market.
