Question 5: Perfect Competition Use the cost schedule below to answer the following questions about a price-taking firm who produces discrete units (there cannot be a half-computer in this world). ATC is average total cost, AVC is average variable cost and AFC is average fixed cost. Computers per Day Fixed Cost Variable Cost Total Cost Marginal Cost АТС AVC AFC Price $30 $0 $35 1 $30 $20 $30 $30 3 $30 $40 4 $30 $60 $30 $90 6. $30 $130 7 $30 $180 8 $30 $240 $30 $310 10 $30 $390 1. Fill out the schedule above. 2. Given the price information you've received, how many computers/day will the firm produce? What will be the economic profit (or loss) this firm receives? 3. If the firm is making a positive profit, do you expect it to persist in the long run? Why?

A9 The characteristics of a "perfectly competitive" market require that there is 1) a large number of firms, 2) producing products that are identical across firms, 3) in an industry where there are no barriers to entry. It's unlikely that any industry accurately reflects these extreme assumptions, but what industries can you think of that do display these characteristics at least to some extent? Try to identify the limits of your example in reflecting "perfect" competition.

3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Iyana operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells cardigans. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for cardigans with a market price equal to $25 per cardigan. The following graph shows Iyana's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for cardigans for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Iyana produces. TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars) 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 -25 D 4 5 QUANTITY (Cardigans) Total Cost 6 Total Revenue A Profit
3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curves Suppose Rian operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells cardigans. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for cardigans with a market price equal to $25 per cardigan. The following graph shows Rian's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for cardigans for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Rian produces. 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 -25 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0 0 D 0 1 Calculate Rian's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven cardigans they produce, and plot them on the following graph.

By making use of graphs explain the difference between perfect competition andmonopoly market. Indicate how each of these two markets maximize their profits
Using diagrams for both the industry and a competitive firm, illustrate competitive long-Run equilibrium, how much profit they will earn elaborate precisely. Assuming constant costs in competitive market employ these diagrams to show how (a) an increase and (b) a decrease in market demand will upset that long run equilibrium.
11. Given perfect competition show on a diagram that profit maximisation implies marginal revenue equals marginal cost equals price. Briefly explain how and why this outcome differs from the equilibrium. Not sure if the attached diagram helps please explain how to solve this questionn
Calculate Jacques's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven teddy bears he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost. 40 35 Marginal Revenue 30 25 Marginal Cost 20 15 10 2 3 4 5 7 8 QUANTITY (Teddy bears) Jacques's profit is maximized when he produces , which is teddy bears. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last teddy bear he produces is than the price Jacques receives for each teddy bear he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional teddy bear (that is, one more teddy bear than would maximize his profit) is s , which is than the price Jacques receives for each teddy bear he sells. Therefore, Jacques's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the curves. Because Jacques is a price taker, this last condition can also be written as COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per teddy bear)
