In a perfectly competitive market, the market supply curve is obtained by summing up the part of marginal cost that lies above average variable cost for all the firms. So, for a given unit of a product, the price shows the marginal cost to firms for selling that unit, not average cost. So, the given statement is false.

Marginal Revenue Product (MRP) curve is: Multiple Choice the market demand curve for labour and, is the sum of supply of labour to individual firms. the market demand curve for labour and, is the horizontal summation of the marginal factor cost to the individual firms. the market demand curve for labour and, it refers to the increase in total revenue resulting from sale of an additional unit of output. the market demand curve for labour and, is the vertical summation...

Consider an (inverse) demand curve P = 30 - Q. And a total cost curve of C(Q) = 12Q. (a) Assume a monopolist is operating in this market. (i) Calculate the quantity (qM) chosen by a profit-maximizing monopolist. (ii) At the profit-maximizing quantity, what is the monopolistic market price (pM) of the product. (iii) Calculate the dead-weight loss (allocative inefficiency) associated with this monopoly market. Assume the market for this product is perfectly competitive. (i) Calculate the market-clearing output (qPC)...

Consider an (inverse) demand curve P = 30 - Q. And a total cost curve of C(Q) = 12Q. Two firms (Firm A and Firm B) competing in this market. They simultaneously decide on the price of the product in a typical Bertrand fashion while producing an identical product. Both firms face the same cost function: C(qA) = 12qA and C(qB) = 12qB, where qA is the output of Firm A and qB is the output of Firm B. (i)...
