Tara sells her organic carrots in a perfectly competitive market for a price that is just higher than her minimum average variable cost (AVC) of production, but lower than her minimum average total cost (ATC) of production. Which of the following statements is then TRUE? O She is incurring a loss because price is less than ATc. O She can minimize her losses by shutting down her operations now. O Although she is currently incurring a loss, she could restore profitability by advertising her carrots. She is carning a profit because price is above AVC.
Consider a perfectly competitive market with identical firms. Each firm faces following average variable cost (AVC) function: 1 AVC(Q) = (Q-40)2 + 25 40 If each firm's marginal revenue is equal to its marginal cost when (Q,P) = (40,20), what should happen to long-run prices? O A. Rise B. Stay the same C. Fall This happens because firms A. are earning positive short-run profit B. are breaking even O C. are earning short-run economic loss O O O
Suppose the costs of a perfectly competitive firm are given by TC = 30 +3Q+0.5Q2 and MC= 3+Q. The supply equation of the firm is, therefore, Q = -3 + P. If the market price is $13, what is the total profit of the firm? O $20 $130 -$110 O $10
Question 18 Suppose a perfectly competitive firm faces the following situation: P = $10, output= 3,000, ATC= $8.50, MC $11, and AVC=$7.50. Which statement accurately describes the firm's situation? = O The firm incurs a loss and is minimizing its losses. O The firm carns a profit but should increase output to maximize its profits. O The firm is maximizing its profits. The firm earns a profit but should decrease output to maximize its profits.

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
QUESTION 11 Consider the following setup for a perfectly competitive market: Suppose that for the firm, TC=625+ Q² and MC=20, and for the industry, demand is given by P= 100-Q and supply is given by S=Q. Solve for the market output and corresponding price. O Q=50, P-50 O Q=25, P=75 O Q=75, P=25 O Q=50, P=25
