Suppose a firm has market power and faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its product, and its marginal cost curve is upward sloping. If the firm reduces its price, then A. producer surplus increases due to new buyers, but the producer surplus from existing customers declines due to the lower price. B. the sum of producer and consumer surplus remains the same, but surplus value is transferred from the producer to consumers. C. the change in producer surplus is transferred...

i) A profit-maximising firm faces a downward-sloping demand curve for its output and has marginal costs that increase with output. Show, on a single diagram, how its profit maximisation decision can be represented both in terms of a feasible set optimisation and its marginal revenue and marginal cost. Why is there a deadweight loss in this case? (5) ii) Now assume the firm is a typical firm in a perfectly competitive market. Show the firm's optimal choice alongside the...

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.
