Each individual buyer is purchasing their optimal bundle, given prices and incomes. O Firms still wish to increase production along the intensive margin, given prices. More than one of the above. O No answer.

In a perfectly competitive market, the price of the product is_____ Group of answer choices jointly set after a meeting of all firms in the market independently set by each competing firm set by market supply and demand set by the market leader and then copied by other firms
10. In a competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $200 per unit. A firm that produces Q units of output in this market has a short-run Total Cost (TC) given by TC = 8000 + 40Q + Q². What is the marginal cost for this firm? How many units should the firm produce?
13. Firms in Competitive Markets The market for fertilizer is perfectly competitive. Firms in the market are producing output but are currently making economic losses. Which of the following statements is true about the price of fertilizer? Check all that apply. The price of fertilizer must be less than average total cost. Price and Costs The price of fertilizer must be less than marginal cost. The price of fertilizer must be equal to average variable cost. The following graphs show the cost curves faced by a typical firm, the demand for fertilizer, and possible price and supply curves. MC Firm ATC LAVC II II Quantity (?

A market's deadweight loss is calculated as: O the economic loss that a firm has when it is not producing its profit-maximizing output. O the price at equilibrium minus the price at actual quantity. the total economic surplus at the efficient quantity minus the total economic surplus at the actual quantity. the loss to consumers when a product malfunctions or fails to meet expectations.
Determine whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE. Explain your answer using graphs or examples. a. If a firm has zero elasticity substitution between inputs, then the short-run cost of producing a level of output equals the long-run cost. b. For firms in a competitive market, producing a maximizing profit quantity always means minimizing cost, while the reverse is not true.
