C. a firm that is unable to affect the market price. D. a firm that does not seek to maximize profits. E. a firm with a downward-sloping demand curve. When are firms likely to be price takers?

Identify an industry that enjoys perfect (or nearly perfect) competition. How do the competitors interact with each other and suppliers and customers?

Both marginal revenue and marginal cost will increase. OB. Marginal revenue will increase but marginal cost will decrease. OC. Marginal revenue will increase but marginal cost will not change. OD. Both marginal revenue and marginal cost will not be affected. OE Marginal revenue will not change but marginal cost will increase.

Use a graph to demonstrate the scenario where a competitive firm would be earning positive profit in the short run. Can this scenario be maintained in the long run? Why? What are the ‘shutdown point’ and ‘break even point’ of a competitive firm . Explain with diagram. A competitive market starts in a situation of long run equilibrium. Then there is an increase in demand. Explain what happens in the short run and long run, using necessary diagrams.
