Suppose the market for wheat is perfectly competitive. Suppose further the long-run supply curve in this market is increasing. Explain briefly if and how each of the following varies as market quantity increases: i) The number of firms ii) Input prices iii) Long-run profits Suppose firms in a monopoly competitive market produce their profit-maximizing quantity, and their average total cost equals their marginal revenue. Should firm entry or exit in the long run?

Suppose the market for canola oil is perfectly competitive. There are 1,000 firms in the market, each of which have a fixed cost of FC=2 and a marginal cost of MC= 1+Q, where q is quantity produced by an individual firm. Let QS denote the total quantity supplied in the market. The market demand is QD= 15,250-250P A) Find the market supply equation, that is write QS as a function of price P B)What is the equilibrium price? What is...
