Explanation / Answer

6. The correct answer is: d)

Reason: Under a perfectly competitive market, output is produced at a socially optimal level, total surplus is maximized and production occurs at the optimal level i.e. at the minimum possible cost.

9.

The correct answer is: c)

Reason: if the oligopoly firms collude, then they can act like a monopolist/cartel and can charge discriminately higher prices and earn maximum profit. However, the outcome will not be socially desirable .

13.

The correct answer is: b)

Reason: In the long run, all the existing firms under a perfectly competitive market must earn normal profit. If the firm expands, then it will be worthless and if it reduces its size, then it will forgo some additional profit. Closing is not the optimal decision. So the best option is to continue in the business as it is.

Thanks!
