- Short-Run Outcomesarrow_forwardUnder conditions of perfect or pure competition, or close to those conditions, producers (firms) are what are called “price takers”. This means that the price for the product that they are selling is determined by the market. No matter how little or how much product they supply, they can sell all they want at that price. If they were to price their product higher, they will sell zero. Which of the following is true? The price is equal to marginal revenue but not average revenue The price is equal to marginal revenue and average revenue The price is equal to average revenue but is not equal to marginal revenue The price is above both marginal revenue and average revenuearrow_forwardA perfectly competitive firm will maximize its profit when marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost. True or False?arrow_forward
- In perfect competition, each company generates a fraction of the total production so small that increasing or decreasing its production will have a perceptible influence on the total supply and the price of the product. True or falsearrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT a characteristic of a perfectly competitive industry? Each firm produces a slightly differentiated product. There are many firms. Each firm takes price as given, determined by the equilibrium of industry supply and industry demand. There are no restrictions on entry into the market.arrow_forwardThe number of firms in an industry is not always a good indicator of the extent to which that industry is competitive.” Do you agree with this statement?arrow_forward
- X4arrow_forwardWhat is the formula for profit maximization by firm ? Why does this result in the marginal cost curve becoming the same as the supply curve for firms in perfect competition? what is the difference between the short run and long run ? Why does this difference matter in our discussion of firm behavior?arrow_forwardAnswer to this Q?arrow_forward
- In the long run, perfectly competitive firms make zero economic profit. If this is the case, why does the firm even bother producing? Why not exit the market completely?arrow_forwardIn the long-run equilibrium of a perfectly competitive market with identical firms, which of the following will be true? There will be no incentive for firms to enter or exit the market. Every firm will produce the quantity of output at which its average total costs are minimized. Every firm will earn 0 economic profit. All of the other choices will be true. Every firm's marginal cost will equal its marginal revenue.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are characteristics of a perfectly competitive market? Check all that apply. There is a large number of firms in the market. Entry and exit are difficult. The product is homogeneous. There are very few firms. Does a Kansas wheat farmer operate in a perfectly competitive market structure? No, because there is no easy entry into or exit from the wheat market. Yes, because the wheat market conforms closely to the perfectly competitive market structure. No, because no real-world market closely fits the three assumptions of perfect competition. Yes, because there are very few wheat farms.arrow_forward
