QUESTION 38
The supply curve for a competitive firm is -
A)its entire MC curve. B)the upward-sloping portion of its MC curve. C)its MC curve parallel to the minimum point of the AVC curve.D) its MC curve above the minimum point of the ATC curve.
Ans) the correct option is) the upward-sloping portion of its MC curve.
In perfect competition, at Profit maximization Price = marginal cost. So the supply curve is the rising MC above the minimum of average variable cost.
