44. Under both perfect competition and monopoly, a firm: a. is a price taker. b. is a price maker. c will shut down in the short-run if price falls short of average total cost d. always earns a pure economic profit. e.) sets marginal cost equal to marginal revenue. 45. True/False. In the long run, all inputs AND costs are variable. a. True b. False 46. True/False. Marginal cost is calculated by dividing the change in total cost by the...
TRUE OR FALSE TF DO 1. In a price-taker market, all firms produce an identical product and each firm comprises only a very small portion of the total market. 2. If a price-taker firm wants to sell its output, it must accept the market price, but it can sell as much output as it wishes at that market price. O N 3. For a price-taker firm, its marginal revenue from the sale of an addi- tional unit is generally less...
cardboard boxes are produced in a perfectly
competitive market. each identical firm has a short run total cost
curve of TC= 3Q^3 - 12Q^2 +16Q + 100, where Q is measured in
thousands of boxes per week. calculate the output for the price
below which a firm in the market will not produce any output in the
short run. ( i.e., the output for the shut down price)

b. 2
c. 1/2
d. 1/square root of 2
