Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit. The output level corresponding to a marginal cost of $7 per unit is 1,000 units. At 1,000 units, its average variable costs equal $8 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $1 per unit. The firm's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output level = . Write number only. The firm's economic profit (or loss) at this output level = . Write either profit number or loss number: e.g. profit 2000.
Suppose that a competitive industry is buying and selling at an equilibrium price of $12. Now suppose that demand increases. If the market is an increasing cost industry, which of the following would we expect to happen in the long run? (select all that apply) The equilibrium price will be lower than $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be at the minimum firm's LAC 0 The equilibrium price will stay at $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be higher than $12 in the long run
