Which of the following best describes the short-run supply curve for an individual perfectly competitive firm? Select one: a. It is the vertical axis at prices less than minimum average variable cost and is the firm's marginal cost curve at prices above minimum average variable cost. Ob. It is the upward-sloping part of the firm's marginal cost curve. O c. It is the firm's marginal cost curve. Od. It is the vertical axis at prices less than minimum average total cost and is the firm's marginal cost curve at prices above minimum average total cost.
Generally, when preferences for a good rise, demand for the good rises. If a perfectly competitive market starts in long-run in the industry and equilibrium, holding all else constant, this will result in a higher market price, which will lead to the market. This causes price to None of these 3 possible answers listed here are correct. economic losses; attracts new firms into; fall economic losses; causes some firms to leave; rise further O positive economic profits; causes some firms to leave; rise further
