Which of the following is generally true in a perfectly competitive industry? *O A firm's supply curve lies above its marginal cost curve.O Firms have fixed costs in the long run.O The short-run market equilibrium is efficient if firms earn a positive profit.O Firms face barriers to entry into the industry.O Firms maximize profit at the output level at which P = MC.

Firms aim to for profit maximization thus they tend to produce a profit maximizing quantity.

QUESTION 25 Strawberries, a normal good, are produced in a perfectly competitive market. Average consumer incomes increase. This will cause the individual strawberry farmer's marginal revenue to and their profit-maximizing level of output to O increase; increase increase; decrease O decrease; increase O decrease; decrease
A mattress company operates in a perfectly-competitive environment. If the firm can increase its profits by increasing output, O price is greater than marginal cost. O price is less than marginal cost. O price is equal to marginal cost. losses are minimized.
Is my answer correct? i think you need information about the AVC to answer this question. I know the firm is productive at a loss, but in order to decide whether or not the firm should shut down, you have to know whether or not price is above or below AVC, right?
I need solutions of C, D, E. Thank in advance.

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.
