What else can I help you with?
When a perfectly competitive firm is at its profit maximizing level of output you can say that it is?
is producing where price exceeds marginal costs
When profit is maximized in a perfectly competitive firm?
At the output level at which the slopes of the total revenue and total cost curves are equal, provided the firm is covering its variable cost
What will happen to profits and output levels when variable costs rise in a perfectly competitive industry?
When variable costs rise in a perfectly competitive industry, profits will decrease and output levels may decrease as well. This is because higher variable costs reduce the profit margins for firms, leading to lower overall profits. In response, firms may reduce their output levels to maintain profitability.
If competitive industry Z is making substantial economic profit output will?
if competative industry z is making substantial economic profit, output will:
Why will a perfectly competitive firm not earn an economic profit in the long run?
A perfectly competitive firm will not earn an economic profit in the long run because in a perfectly competitive market, there are many firms selling identical products, leading to price competition. This competition drives prices down to the point where firms only earn enough revenue to cover their costs, resulting in zero economic profit.
How do you find a monopolist's profit maximising...?
The monopolist's profit maximizing level of output is found by equating its marginal revenue with its marginal cost, which is the same profit maximizing condition that a perfectly competitive firm uses to determine its equilibrium level of output. Indeed, the condition that marginal revenue equal marginal cost is used to determine the profit maximizing level of output of every firm, regardless of the market structure in which the firm is operating.
When a perfectly competitive firm is at its profit maximizing level of output you can say that it is?
is producing where price exceeds marginal costs
Why does the level of fixed cost not have any influence on the profit maximising level of output?
i really don't know

If a perfectly competitive firm's price is above its average total cost the firm?
is earning a profit
A perfectly competative firms marginal cost exceeds its marginal revenue at its current output To increase its profit the firm will?
To increase profit the firm will decrease output to a point where MC=MR. This is the Profit Maximisation point
Explain the process that drives the economic profit to zero in the long run for a perfectly competitive firm?
In perfectly competitive markets, economic profits are zero in the long run because firms are able to enter and exit the market. If firms in a perfectly competitive market are profitable, there would be an incentive for new firms to enter. Supply would increase, causing an increase in quantity and the price to be driven back down to equilibrium: NO PROFIT! If firms in a perfectly competitive market are suffering a loss, some firms would choose to exit the market. Supply would decrease, causing a decrease in quantity and the price to be driven back up to equilibrium: NO PROFIT!
A perfectly competitive firm will produce more output and change a lower price than a single price monopoly firm. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?
I agree with the statement. A perfectly competitive firm operates where price equals marginal cost, leading to an efficient allocation of resources and typically resulting in a higher output at a lower price than a monopoly. In contrast, a single-price monopoly maximizes profit by producing less output and charging a higher price, leading to decreased consumer surplus and potential market inefficiencies. Thus, perfect competition generally results in greater output and lower prices compared to monopoly scenarios.
If P equals 8 and MC equals 5 plus 0.2Q the competitive firm's profit-maximizing level of output is?
