2.A. Draw a perfectly competitive firm in the soybean market, in
a short run equilibrium. Identify the
market price, MR, Total Revenue, Total Cost Variable Cost, and
Fixed Cost.
B. For your diagram(s), is the firm earning, a profit or a loss
(identify it)?
C. Explain, and show this market will move toward a long run
equilibrium, state any needed
assumptions.
Homework Answers
A
competitive firm is in equilibrium when P=MC.
In this case P<AC so the firm is earning losses in the short run.
Discouraged by losses some firms will leave the industry.The supply will fall in the long run.A fall in suppply raises price.Price shifts up to P'.In the long run P'=MC=AC,so the firm is earning zero economic profits.

Question 2: Consider a firm in a perfectly competitive market that should produce a positive quantity in the short-run, but is still earning a loss. A.) Draw the cost curves (ATC, AVC, MC, MR) for the firm. Clearly label the quantity this firm would produce. Label the loss the firm would incur. B.) Briefly explain why the MR looks the way it does and why you placed it where you did on your diagram. (How do we determine MR for...

This question is in regards to situations that might face a perfectly competitive firm. Draw two graphs. On the first, show the short-run profit maximizing output of an individual firm earning an economic profit, including MR, MC, AVC, and ATC. On the second, show the short-run market equilibrium price and quantity. Explain how the industry supply curve and the market equilibrium price and quantity are determined.

3. A firm in a perfectly competitive market will produce no output in the short run if the price is below $18 but will produce if the price is above $18. The smallest quantity they will produce in the short run is 8. Firms will earn 0 economic profit if the price is $74 and its profit maximizing quantity is 12 at that price. The firm’s fixed cost is $576. Assume the good can be produced in continuous quantities. Draw...
