Assume that the MBA education industry is constant-cost and is in long-run equilibrium. Discuss what long-run equilibrium means. Market demand increases, but due to strict accreditation standards, new firms are not permitted to enter the market. Explain the nature of the original long-run equilibrium then analyze the determination of a new long-run equilibrium, showing the effects with the aid of graphs for a representative school as well as for the market as a whole. Explain with a compare/contrast analysis how your analysis changes if MBA’s are produced in an increasing cost industry. Page limit, one page and one page for supporting graphs.
PRICE (Dollars per pound) 8. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for rhodium. Assume that no matter how many firms operate in the Industry, every firm is identical and faces the same marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves plotted in the following graph. COSTS (Dollars per pound) 30,90 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 ATC 30 20 AVC 10 MC 0 0 + 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of pounds) The following graph plots the market demand curve for rhodium. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the…
