The typical long-run average cost a firm in the perfectly competitive widget market reaches its minimum average cost at $35/unit at 10,000 units. Draw the long-run market supply curve. Assume that factor prices do not change as the industry expands or contracts.
In the long run, the market is in equilibrium when P=MC=AC
As the factor prices do not change, the cost remains constant so that the supply curve is a horizontal straight line.

31 In perfectly competitive industries: A. the shont-run market supply curves are positively sloped в. long-rusniustry supply curve,are positively sloped. C. the short-run D. All of the above E. Only B and C are correct market supply curves are more clastic than the long-run industry supply curvers s3. Assame a perfectly-competitive, increasing-cost industry composed of identical firms is initially in long-run equilibrium. Given a decrease in demand, in the short ran: equilbrium price decreases, equilibrium output increases, the output of...
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...
2. (1.5 p) Consider perfectly competitive industry with identical firms. The long run average cots function of a typical firm is given by AC(q)- 24 - 49 + q. Market demand is given by c p)=100-2p. (a) Find the long run supply curve of the typical firm. (b) Find the number of firms in the industry in the long run equilibrium.
i) The long run cost function for each firm in a perfectly competitive market is c(q) = 2^1.5+16q^0.5, LMC = 1.59^0.5+ 8q^-0.5, market demand curve is Q=1600-2p. Find price (p) of output and the level of output (q) produced by the firm in a long run equilibrium. Find the long run average cost curve for the firm. ii) what happens in the long run if the market demand curve shifts to Q=160-20p?/ -A competitive industry is in long run equilibrium....
2. The long run supply curve for a firm in a perfectly competitive market is A. its LRAC B. Determined by forces external to the firm C. Its marginal cost curve (above average variable cost) D. Likely to slope downward E. Its marginal cost curve (above average total cost) D. Unitary elastic E. Perfectly elastic 2.
2nd picture is Average Cost curve oncept: Long-Run Equilibrium 3 Ques representative firm in a perfectly competitive market. Assume all firms in the industry have the same cost structure. (Click the icon to view the average cost curve) Suppose the figure to the right illustrates the market, with a market supply curve 64 (S) and a market demand curve (D) How will this industry adjust to its long-run equilibrium? 1.) Using the line drawing tool, draw the market supply curve...
Suppose a perfectly competitive, increasing-cost industry is in long-run equilibrium when market demand increases. In the long run, a typical firm _____ a.will stop production as total revenue no longer covers the average variable cost of production. b.experiences the same equilibrium price but a lower average total cost. c.experiences a lower average total cost and equilibrium price. d.experiences the same equilibrium price but a greater average total cost. e.experiences a higher average total cost and equilibrium price.
5. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the perfectly competitive market for steel. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. COSTS (Dollars per ton) + MC D AVC 0 10 90 100 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons) The following diagram shows the...
9. The long-run supply curve of a perfectly competitive firm is given by a horizontal line placed at P = 3 PLN (in a graph where the quantity and price are measured on the X and Y axes, respectively). The market demand is described by QD = 150-5P. a. What is the amount of output produced by the whole industry in the long-run equilibrium? b. Assuming that firms are identical and obtain the minimum average cost for the quantity of...
