Graphically show the market and firm graphs for the perfectly competitive long run market when firms exit the market to avoid a loss. Be sure to graphically indicate what is happening in both the market and for each individual firm. Your model should end in long run equilibrium.
you've been learning about what makes a market perfectly competitive, how a firm in a perfectly competitive market makes profit-maximizing decisions, and how a perfectly competitive market moves towards equilibirium. But how applicable is this to real life? For this discussion, try to think of a market (for a product or service) that is perfectly competitive or very close to it. What characteristics of the market make it like perfect competition? Are there factors that keep it from being perfectly competitive? If so, what are they? How close do you think the firms in this market are to perfectly competitive firms in choosing equilibrium price and quantity?
Calculate Iyana's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven cardigans they produce, 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 at each quantity. COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per cardigan) 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 50 0 1 2 4 3 5 QUANTITY (Cardigans) 6 7 8 Marginal Revenue Marginal Cost Iyana's profit is maximized when they produce a total of cardigans. At this quantity, the marginal cost of the final cardigan they produce is , an amount than the price received for each cardigan they sell. At this point, the marginal cost of producing one more cardigan (the first cardigan beyond the profit maximizing quantity) is S an amount than the price received for each cardigan they sell. Therefore, Iyana's profit-maximizing quantity occurs at the point of intersection between the curves. Because Iyana is a price taker, the previous condition is equivalent to
Consider the perfectly competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. PRICE AND COST PER UNIT 100 90 10 0 10 Price (Dollars per jacket) 15 20 25 55 70 85 20 10 100 0 00 For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of jackets this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero jackets and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price. 20 10 D MC-D 0 · D 0 ATC O AVC On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the portion of the firm's short-run supply curve that…

The following graph shows Amari's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for phone cases for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Amari produces.

The following graph shows the demand curve, as well as the AVC, ATC and MC curves of a company selling rolled oats in a perfectly competitive market. Use the graph to answer the questions. The goal of the company is to maximize its profit. How many boxes of rolled oats should it sell to attain this goal? What price will it charge? How much profit does this firm make per month? Will this company produce or shut down in the short run? Why? Will this firm exit the market for rolled oats in the long run or not? Why?
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?

A perfectly competitive firm is currently maximizing profits. The market for its product is in a long-run equilibrium. Market demand for the product decreases. Briefly explain what happens in the market by describing what will happen to this firm’s production (and most importantly why) as a result of that change. Describe what will happen and why to the firm’s costs and profits as the firm makes its choices. Emphasize why each type of individual cost does or does not change as the firm changes its level of production.
Please help with this question If a competitive firm finds that its average variable cost is decreasing at its current profit maximizing quantity, should the firm increase or decrease output?
