Answer:- Minimum of the average total cost represents the situation of normal profits in the economy. In long run only the firm can earn normal profits. This is because if there are abnormal profits then more and more firms will enter the industry and the profits will get distributed. And is there if abnormal losses, then more and more firms will leave the industry thereby de decreasing the losses. Hence there if normal profits in the economy in the long run. Hence, the price level at which the average total cost is minimum is tha lond run equilibrium price of the economy because normal profits prevail on this price level.

Explain why the industry supply curve is not the long-run industry marginal cost curve. The industry supply curve is not the long-run industry marginal cost curve because O A. production will only occur along the long-run marginal cost curve for prices above average variable cost. O B. at prices above the minimum long-run average cost of production, firms will exit the industry. O C. production will only occur along the long-run marginal cost curve when profits are earned. O D....

Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve.
3. Is monopolistic competition efficient? Suppose that a firm produces baseball bats in a monopolistically competitive market. The following graph shows its demand curve, marginal revenue (MR) curve, marginal cost (MC) curve, and average total cost (ATC) curve. Place a black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the long-run monopolistically competitive equilibrium price and quantity for this firm. Next, place a grey point (star symbol) to indicate the minimum average total cost the firm faces and the quantity associated with...
Long-run cost relationships The following graph shows the short-run average total cost curves and the long-run average total cost curve for a publishing firm.
7. Long-run cost relationships The following graph shows the short-run average total cost curves and the long-run average total cost curve for a publishing firm. The five marked quantities indicate points of tangency between each short-run average total cost curve (SRATC) and the long-run average total cost curve (LRATC); for example, Q1 marks the point of tangency between SRATC1 and LRATC The orange point on SRATCs indicates the firm's current output level in the short run (Q5). SRATC SRATC SRATC4...

Question 2 [20 marks] (a) Explain why the marginal cost curve above the average variables cost curve is referred to as the firm’s short run supply curve? ( use both verbal and diagram analysis) (6) (b) With a help of a diagram explain the following concepts: economies of scale, constant return to scale and diseconomies of scale. (6) (c) Use the indifference curve approach to derive the Marshallian demand curve. (8)

QUESTION 13 Every point on the long-run average cost curve is O on a short-run marginal cost curve. also a minimum point on a short-run average cost curve. O on a short-run average total cost curve. O on a short-run average variable cost curve. QUESTION 14 If total costs are $50,000 when 1000 units are produced, and total costs are $50,100 when 1001 units are produced, we can conclude that O average variable costs are $100. o marginal costs are...

In the graph above, MC is the firm's marginal cost curve, ATC is
the firm's average total cost curve, and AVC is the firm's average
variable cost curve. If the equilibrium price in this market is
above P2, then
firms will exit this market in the long run.
firms will enter this market in the long run.
the number of firms in this market will not change in the long
run.
