QUESTION 9 The perfectly competitive firm faces a downward sloping demand curve. constant marginal costs. a horizontal supply function. perfectly elastic demand. QUESTION 10 The short-run industry supply curve slopes up because the law of diminishing marginal product applies in the short run. wages increase as the industry increases output. the firms eventually experience diseconomies of scale. the higher price is needed to get more firms to enter the industry.
FICE 150 firms in the monopolistically competitive industry. Price is above marginal revenue, as a general rule, regardless of the number firms in the monopolistically competitive industry. At low levels of output, price is above marginal revenue. At high levels of ou price is below marginal revenue as long as the number of firms is not too ma because if it is too large, the monopolistically competitive industry will beco perfectly competitive.
