Suppose the market for wheat is perfectly competitive. Suppose further the long-run supply curve in this market is increasing. Explain briefly if and how each of the following varies as market quantity increases: i) The number of firms ii) Input prices iii) Long-run profits
Suppose firms in a monopoly competitive market produce their profit-maximizing quantity, and their average total cost equals their marginal revenue. Should firm entry or exit in the long run?
