Explanation / Answer

Question 9

The given figure shows that price is decided by the market taking into account market demand and market supply and individual firm acts as the price taker (indicated by horizontal price line at price, P1, as decided by the market).

An individual firm acts as price taker in perfectly competitive market.

So, the given firm is a perfectly competitive firm.

In long-run, a perfectly competitive firm produce that level of output corresponding to which price equals minimum average total cost.

ATC is minimum at q3 level of output.

So, in long-run, this firm will produce q3 level of output.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (C).

Question 10

Revenue = $300

Operation cost = $150

Rent foregone = $50

Salary foregone = $100

Operation cost is the explicit cost while rent foregone and salary foregone are implicit cost.

Calculate the accounting profit -

Accounting profit = Revenue - Explicit cost = $300 - $150 = $150

Calculate the economic profit -

Economic profit = Revenue - Explicit cost - Implicit cost = $300 - $150 - $50 - $100 = $0

So,

My accounting profit is $150, and my economic profit is $0.

Hence, the correct answer is the option (C).
