A firm in a perfectly competitive industry faces the following long run total cost schedule:
Perfect | Competition | |||||||
Quantity | 2 | 4 | 6 | 8 | 10 | 12 | 14 | 16 |
Total Cost | 50 | 100 | 140 | 160 | 240 | 360 | 600 | 750 |
Given this data, we would expect the long run price of the product to be about:
A. None of the above
B. $15
C. $20
D. $22
E. $25
In the long run, under the perfect competition, he price is equal to the minimum of the average total cost and, in that case, the minimum average total cost is 20 which we can calculate by dividing 160 by 8, so the right answer is option C i.e. $20.

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...
Homework (Ch 10) Assume that a firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the following total cost schedule: Calculate a marginal cost and an average cost schedule for the firm to complete the following table. Marginal Cost Average Cost ($) (S) Output Total Cost (units) ($) 220 300 600 770 960 If the prevailing market price is $34 per unit, units will be produced. Profits per unit will be and total profits will be Is the industry in long-run equilibrium...

Below is a graph of an individual firm in a perfectly (purely) competitive industry. Adjust the horizontal Price line to show the market's long-run equilibrium price, Place the black dot labeled E at the price and quantity the firm will produce.For the firm in perfect competition, several variables converge and are equal at long-run equilibrium Place in the bin everything that is equal at point E
A firm operates in a perfectly competitive industry. Suppose it has a short run total cost function given by TC = 1200 + 2Q + 0.03Q2. If the market price is $38, what is the firm’s profit maximizing quantity?
1. Suppose the typical firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the following long-run total TC 240Q-6Q2 +0.08Q3 What is the long-run price for product Q?
1. For a perfectly competitive firm, long-run average cost is: LAC = 300 - 20Q + 1.8Q2, where Q denotes the firm’s output. The firm’s long-run profit-maximizing price is _____. 2. Demand for a good is given by: QD = 50 – 2P and supply by QS = 1P – 10, where P is the market price of the good. In equilibrium, price would be ___. 3. Demand for a good is given by: QD = 50 – 2P and...
The long-run supply curve for a perfectly competitive, constant-cost industry O is horizontal at minimum ATC. O is upward-sloping. O is horizontal at minimum AVC. O is found by adding up the marginal cost curves for all firms in the industry. As more firms enter the market: O the short-run market demand curve shifts to the left. O the short-run market supply curve shifts to the right. O the short-run market supply curve shifts to the left. O the short-run...
