1. Option 2. CE
Explanation: The supply curve for a perfectly competitive firm is the segment of its MC curve above the minimum average variable cost.
2. Option 3. AC
Explanation: A perfectly competitive firm stops operations if the price drops below the miniumum average variable cost.

Use the following graph showing cost curves for a perfectly competitive firm to answer the next question. MC ATC /AVC Costs and Revenues 35 15 20 Quantity What is the lowest price at which the firm will start producing output in the short run? O $1.25 O $1.05 O $0.90 O
please explain! Price MC ATC AVC Quantity (per period) 2. (Figure: A Perfectly Competitive Firm in the Short Run) Use Figure: A Perfectly Competitive Firm in the Short Run. The firm will produce in the short run if the price is greater than or equal to: A) F B) E C) N D) P.
For a perfectly competitive market made up of firms represented in the graph below, what is the long run equilibrium price of the good? Cost ($) MC ATC AVC $16 $14 $12 $10 Quantity $14 $10 $12 $16 For a perfectly competitive market made up of firms represented in the graph below, if the price is $14, Cost ($) MC ATC $16 AVC - $14 $12 $10 Quantity The firm is operating at its minimum long run average total cost....
The long-run supply curve for a perfectly competitive, constant-cost industry O is horizontal at minimum ATC. O is upward-sloping. O is horizontal at minimum AVC. O is found by adding up the marginal cost curves for all firms in the industry. As more firms enter the market: O the short-run market demand curve shifts to the left. O the short-run market supply curve shifts to the right. O the short-run market supply curve shifts to the left. O the short-run...
Introduction to Microeconomics Deriving the Short-Run Supply Curve for the Perfectly Competitive Firm MC ATC AVC Cost ($) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 Outputs units) The figure illustrates the costs faced by a perfectly competitive firm. Use the figure to answer the following: 1) If the market price is $20, how much will the firm produce in order to maximize its profits? 2) If the market price is $15, how much will the...
Price, ATC, AVC, and MCE (per unit) P3 Pt 41 92 93 44 s Quantity (per period) a. The figure shows cost curves for a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market O is the AC_curve. N is the TC curve. M is the curve. Curve M must cross Curves N and O at their points. AFC is represented in this figure by the vertical distance between Curve-and Curve b. The figure shows cost curves for a firm operating in...
4. Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the perfectly competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run....
1 Price The figure below captures a firm in a perfectly competitive industry. MC ATC AVC ا أ ا 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Quantity Suppose the current price is $6. What will happen in the long run? O Nothing will happen in the long run. The firm is earning zero economic profit. O Since the firm is earning a positive economic profit, there is an incentive for new firms to enter the industry in the long...
1) The farmer sells apples in a perfectly competitive market at a price of $1/pound. The farmer's marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost curve can be represented by the following MC price ATC AVC d-MR Should the farmer continue to operate in the short run? A) No B) Can't be determined using the information provided C) Yes
The graph below shows the marginal cost (MC), average variable cost (AVC), and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm in a competitive market. These curves imply a short-run supply curve that has two distinct parts. One part, not shown, lies along the vertical axis (quantity = 0); this represents a condition of production shutdown. Where is the other part? Use the straight-line tool to draw it.
