Explanation / Answer

1. Which of the following are the characteristic properties of a long-run equilibrium in a perfectly competitive market?

In the long run perfectly competitive equilibrium, all firms are earning zero profits and operating at the most efficient scale of production, i.e. P=MR = MC=min ATC. Since AVC lies below ATC, P=MR>AVC. ATC=AFC+AVC.

a. MC = LAVC

b. MC =MR

c. MR = P

d. P > LATC

e. P = AFC + AVC

f. P > AVC

g. MC = ATC

h. AVC > MR

i. MR = LATC

j. P = MC

K. MC = LATC

2. Which of the following defines a monopoly's profit?

A monopolists profit is given by, Profit = TR-TC = TR
