In Problem 5, the market demand decreases and the demand schedule becomes: If firms have the same costs set out in Problem 5, what is the market price and the firm’s economic profit or loss in the short run? Problem 5 The market for paper is perfectly competitive and 1,000 firms produce paper. The table sets out the market demand schedule for paper. The table in the next column sets out the costs of each producer of paper. Calculate the market price, the market output, the quantity produced by each firm, and the firm’s economic profit or loss.
In the long run, competition among sellers results in all of the following EXCEPT O increases in the price investment increases in the quantity O innovation
A firm is selling apples is profit-maximizing, but they're in a constant cost industry. The industry is perfectly competitive and currently in long-run equilibrium. Assume apples are a normal good and consumer income falls, and the firm continues to produce. 1. Illustrate the decrease in income in the short run with a cost curves graph. Make sure to highlight the area of loss.

Suppose that firm is in a breaking even status in a perfectly competitive market. Using graphs (for both industry and firm) to explain how a decline in demand in the short run affects some firms’ performance (e.g., earn profits or experience loss). In the long run, how this results in exit of some firms from the same perfectly competitive market. Comment on the market equilibrium quantity and price in the long run?
Suppose that in the short run perfectly competitive firms earn $1,250 in economic profit. Would we expect to see more, less, or the same number of firms operating in the market in the long run?
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?
