The folowing diagram shows the curves for perceived demand, marginal revenue, and cost for Manuela's Pizza, which serves Mexican-style pizza. Manuela's is one of
many other fast food restaurants in this town.
MC
Price
and Cost
ATC
Demand
Quantity
of piezas
Which statement describes the transibon to the long nun? Select the best answer.
O More fast food restaurants will enter the market, and Manuela's demand curve will become more elastic.
Manuela's will raise its prices since there is a large demand for its pizzas.
O More fast food restaurants will enter the market, and Manuela's demand curve will become more inelastic.
Manuela's will experience lower costs of production because it will expand its output.
A perfectly competitive firm is onsidered to be more generous in terms of price and quantity
of output in comparison to firm belonged to monopoly and monopolistic markets.
C. If firms incurring loss in this market begin to exit the market, what will happen to the
market equilibrium? Demonstrate your answer using a simplified graph.
d. The firm wishes to supply output more than the quantity determined under the equilibrium
condition, is it worth to pursue?
