Describe how, in the long-run, an increase in the demand for a perfectly competitive firm’s product can lead to entry of new firms.
Perfect competition in the market where there are large number of buyers and sellers in the market
there are no barriers to entry and exit in the market
price is decided only by the market forces that is demand and supply
so as there is no bad no barrier to entry it means the new firms can get it easily into into the market and in the long run they can exit any time as well
this will lead to normal profit for every firm in the market
the normal profit is also called zero economic profit
As there is increase in demand there will be more supply due to large number of firms in the market and supply will exceed the demand
this will lead to end up with zero economic profit

11. Kites are manufactured by identical firms in a perfectly competitive environment. Each firm’s long run average cost and marginal cost of production are given by: AC = Q + 100/Q and MC = 2Q where Q is the number of kites produced. a) In long run equilibrium, how many kites will each firm produce? (2 pts) b) What will the price of kites (P) be? (1 pt) c) Suppose the demand for kites is given by formula Q =...
(1)Product differentiation makes the demand for a monopolistically competitive firm’s product A perfectly elastic. B more elastic than in a competitive market. C perfectly inelastic. D less elastic than that of a monopoly. E less elastic than in a competitive market. 2. Successful advertising under monopolistic competition might A help consumers understand why products in the industry are homogeneous. B reduce the price elasticity of demand for that firm’s output. C create a high barrier to entry. D make the...
2) Suppose we observe a perfectly competitive industry in long-run equilibrium when there is a permanent decrease in demand for the industry's product. a) Using graphs explain how the industry adiusts to a new long-run equilibriumm. b) What happens to price, quantity, firm profits and the number of firms during the adiustment process?
8. Short-run and long run effects of a shift in demand Suppose that the perfectly competitive tuna industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $3 per can of tuna and a quantity of 600 million cans per year. Suppose Health Canada issues a report saying that eating tuna is bad for your health Health Canada's report will cause consumers to demand tuna at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by Shift the supply curve, the...
In the long run, all of the firms in a perfectly competitive industry will: exit the industry if price is greater than average total cost. produce at an output level at which average total cost equals marginal cost. earn an economic profit greater than zero. O produce an output level at which price is greater than average total cost. Which statement about the differences between monopoly and perfect competition is INCORRECT? A monopoly will charge a higher price and produce...
Draw a diagram and explain how the perfectly competitive long-run demand curve for a firm is derived. On the same diagram draw a short run demand curve and explain the difference between the shape of the two curves
27. If there is an increase in market demand in a perfectly competitive market, then in the short run a. there will be no change in the demand curves faced by individual firms in the market. b. the demand curves for firms will shift downward. c. the demand curves for firms will become more elastic. d. profits will rise. answer and why. thank you
In the long run, a firm in a perfectly competitive market earns zero economic profit, so the opportunity in the short run to enjoy positive economic profits will cause existing firms to increase output and new firms to enter the market.
A perfectly competitive, profit maximizing firm earns zero economic profit in the long run. The firm’s total cost is: TC = a + bQ2. Use only the cost curve given. Determine mathematically the level of output the firm will produce in the long run. Show mathematically if this amount differs from the amount of output the firm would produce in the short run. Explain why a perfectly competitive firm earns zero economic profit in the long run.
TU) UdlIT IS. In a perfectly competitive market: each firm produces a unique product and chooses a price that maximize there are very few firms, and each controls a large segment of the market. entry into the industry is restricted in the long run. there are many relatively small firms, and each firm is a price-taker. c. t If a firm is a price-taker, it: sells its product at the price determined by the market. sells its product at the...
