Which of the following is true about competitive firms? A firm with fixed/sunk costs receiving a price above its average variable cost will choose to stay in the industry in the short-run despite earning losses. Produce identical goods. An individual firm is too small relative to the market to impact the price. Is willing to supply a greater quantity if there is a reduction in the firm's marginal cost. Earn zero profits in the long-run because firms are free to enter or exit the industry over the long-run. They produce up until the point where the price equals the marginal cost of production.

Which of the following is NOT a requirement for a market to be perfectly competitive?
Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for titanium. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. Note:- Do not provide handwritten solution. Maintain accuracy and quality in your answer. Take care of plagiarism.Answer completely.You will get up vote for sure.
answer c)
In a perfectly competitive market, firms that remain in the market in the long run produce at the efficient scale because minimizing costs always maximizes profits. markets are always efficient. their supply curve is horizontal. they are price takers and must make zero profits in the long run.
When market conditions in a competitive industry are such that firms cannot cover their total production costs, then a) the firms will suffer long-run economic losses. Ob) the firms will suffer short-run economic losses that will be exactly offset by long-run economic profits. Oc) some firms will exit the market, causing prices to rise until the remaining firms can cover their total production costs. d) all firms will go out of business, since consumers will not pay prices that enable firms to cover their total production costs.
A competitive firm's total cost is TC(Q)=2Q2+3Q+34 when the output level is Q. Accordingly, its marginal cost is MC(Q)=2*2*Q+3. The market price is P=72. You are told that the firm will not shut down in the short run. Please find the revenue of the firm at its optimal output level.
If the price for a fırm's output is greater than the minimum value of its average variable cost, but less than the minimum value of its average total cost, then the firm should shut down in the short run, but resume producing in the long run. the firm should continue producing in the short run, but exit the market in the long run. the firm is earning positive economic profit. the firm should shut down in the short run and exit the market in the long run. the firm should continue producing in both the short run and the long run.
Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitivemarket. There are 22 firms in the market. Each firm's Total Cost functionis TC=473+2q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=2+2q. Marketdemand is Q=485-P. What is the quantity produced by each firm in the short-run?
Suppose you own a store that sells goods for $100 each and your average total cost per unit is $95 at the profit- maximizing output level, then in the long run the equilibrium price per unit will rise. more firms will enter the market. average total costs will fall. some firms will exit from the market.
If a perfectly competitive firm's average total cost is less than the price, then the firm A) incurs an economic loss. B) makes an economic profit. C) makes zero economic profit. D) makes either zero economic profit or an economic profit depending on whether the marginal revenue is equal to or greater than the price. E) None of these answers is correct because the relationship between the price and average total cost has nothing to do with the firm's profit.
A perfectly competitive firm can A) sell all of its output at the prevailing market price. B) set a higher price to customers who are willing to pay more. C) raise its price in order to increase its total revenue. D) sell additional output only by lowering its price. E) usually not sell all the output it produces, but still "over-produces" because there are some periods when it can sell the extra output at very profitable prices.
Profits are maximized at the output at which marginal cost equals marginal revenue. If the market price falls below the minimum average variable cost: * the firm should shut down. the firm should produce more. the firm should produce less. the firm should make a discount in amount of marginal cost None of the above.
