please answer all 16. To say that a firm is a price taker means that: a. the firm's demand curve is perfectly inelastic b. the firm's marginal revenue curve is downward sloping c. the firm's average total cost curve is horizontal d. the firm can alter its output without influencing price e. all of the above 17. In a perfectly competitive market, the demand curve facing the firm is: a. identical to the market demand curve b. perfectly clastic even...
18. In a perfectly competitive market, individual firms set: A) prices and quantities B) neither prices nor quantities. C) quantiies but not prices D) prices but not quantities 19. The perfectly competitive firm faces a perfectly elastic demand curve because A) t has the ability to set the price and force everyone to buy at that price. it has no ability to control price. B) C) t doesn't; it faces a perfectly inelastic demand curve D) it doesn't; everyone knows...
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...
Consider the competitive market for good x. Also, Short Run Market Supply Curve = 3Q, Short Run ATC = 18/q + q/2, and Px = 5. (a) What is the short-run equilibrium price and quantity of good x? (b) How much will each firm produce? What will their short-run profits be? (c) Graph the market (demand and supply curve etc.) and the graph of one of the firms (marginal revenue “curve,” marginal cost curve, average total cost curve, profits, etc.)...
11. In drawing an isoquant curve, what is measured on the axes? a. the prices of the inputs b. price and output c. the physical quantities of the two inputs d. expenditure on the two inputs e none of the above 12. Learning by doing doctrine suggests that: a. MC shifts upward as current output increases b. an increase in this period's output will cause future periods' long-run average cost curves to be lower c. The long-run average cost curve...
QUESTION 6 If the demand curve falls below the ATC curve but lies above AVC, then the firm should a operate in the short run and the long run. b. operate in the short run but not the long run. c. should shut down. d. set price = marginal cost. QUESTION 7
12. Learning by doing doctrine suggests that: a. MC shifts upward as current output increases b. an increase in this period's output will cause future periods' long-run average cost curves to be lower c. The long-run average cost curve to increase at a smaller output d. the Law of Diminishing Returns to be violated e. none of the above 13. If given quantities of soap and shampoo can be produced together at a lower total cost than they could be...
7. Assume that the long-run production function can be expressed as Q-SKL? Where Q is quantity of output, K is the quantity of capital and L is the quantity of labor. If capital is fixed at 10 units in the short run then the short-run production function is: Q=10KL b. Q=50KL? Q=10L? d. 0=50L Q=500KL 8. For a linear total cost function: a. MC will be downward sloping b. MC = AVC c. AVC is upward sloping and linear d....
