If the price is P1 in the short run, what will happen in the long run? Nothing. The price is consistent with zero economic profits, so there is no incentive for firms to enter or exit the industry. Individual firms will earn positive economic profits in the short run, which will entice other firms to enter the industry. Individual firms will earn negative economic profits in the short run, which will cause some firms to exit the industry. Because the price is below the firm's average variable costs, the firms will shut down.arrow_forwardNeed typed solutionarrow_forward
- QUESTION 10 Jack sells water bottles. Assume the market for water bottles is perfectly competitive. Jack sells his water bottles at the market price of $9.00. At the profit-maximising output level of 51 water bottles, Jack's average total cost is $4.40 per water bottle. The minimum average variable cost is $3.90 per water bottle. Answer the following questions: a. Jack's economic profit or loss is decimal places (ie: to the nearest cent). (use a negative value if a loss). Answer in dollars, rounded to two b. State whether the following statement is true or false: "At the profit-maximising quantity, Jack is making an economic profit of $4.60 per water bottle." Type T for true, or F for false c.
