Perfect competition is great for consumers, but not for producers. Present a perfect competition equilibriumusing the average cost and marginal cost curve framework used in class, and explain using words why thisequilibrium is good for consumers but not for firms. Then, assume the firm innovates in a way that gives thefirm market power and provides the firm with an economic profit. In a second diagram, show the situationfor this firm after the innovation. Use your results to explain using words why free market capitalism tendsto provide an improving living standard for consumers over time.
Suppose solar panel manufacturing is an industry subject to significant economies of scale, and there are currently three solar panel manufacturers all with identical costs. If the demand for solar panels is 5 times the quantity produced at the bottom of the long-run average cost curve, which of the following is most likely to happen to the solar panel manufacturing industry in the long run? O The number of solar panel manufacturers will increase O The price of solar panels will increase O The fixed costs of manufacturing solar panels will increase The quantity supplied of solar panels will decrease
Firm Market Demand s, S, ATC P. ----+ LAVO MC Quantity Quantitv If firms in the market are producing output but are currently making economic losses, illustrates the present situation for the typical firm in the market, and v indicates the corresponding supply curve. Assuming there is no change in either demand or the firm's cost curves, which of the following statements is true about what will happen in the long run? Check all that apply. O The quantity supplied by each firm will decrease. Marginal cost will decrease. O The total quantity supplied to the market will decrease. O Average total cost will decrease. The price of fertilizer will increase. Price and Costs Price
Question 5 Consider the graph below. Should this firm stay open or shut down in the short run and why? MC ATC ATC* AVC P* -MR B AVC* 10 O Stay open because their loss from operating is greater in magnitude than their fixed costs Stay open because their loss from operating is less in magnitude than their fixed costs Shut down because their loss from operating is greater in magnitude than their fixed costs Shut down because their loss from operating is less in magnitude than their fixed costs
Now consider any perfectly competitive market and suppose there are 'n' firms in the market in the long-run initially, but then the product becomes super-trendy and demand doubles. How many (new) firms enter the market? Whydon’t you need to know the cost and demand curves?
The industry in the figure below consists of many firms with identical cost structures, and the industry experiences constant scale. Consider a change in demand from D₁ to D2, which increases price from $20 to $30 in the short run. Price $50 $40 $30 $20 $10 0 10 20 Market 30 D₁ 40 Quantity S₁ D₂ 50 60 70 Tools LRS O S₂ Instructions: Enter your answers as a whole number. a. Draw the new short-run market supply curve that will occur in response to the increase in demand and increase in price. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'S2' and be sure your supply curve includes the new equilibrium price and quantity. b. Draw the long-run supply curve. Instructions: Use the tool provided 'LRS' and plot only the endpoints over the entire range of output (0-60). The new equilibrium price is $ 20 and the new equilibrium quantity is 40.

Last answer was wrong. Don't give incorrect answers plz
Assume you look at the graph of a perfectly competitive firm and its average total cost curve is entirely above the horizontal price line. In this case the firm is breaking even. O True O False
Which describes the firms supply curve for the short run with perfect competition? O The section of MC that is above AVC O The section of MC that is above ATC There is no supply curve since it depends on the slope of demand O The section of ATC to the right of its intersection with MC Which describes the long run equilibrium situation for a firm in perfect competition? O Demand is sloping downward and tangent to ATC Demand is horizontal and tangent to the bottom of ATC O Demand is tangent to AVC O There are positive economic profits to motivate firms to keep producing
