Perfect competition and the supply curve - the industry supply curve - the cost of production and Efficiency in the Long-Run Equilibrium
7 important questions on Perfect competition and the supply curve - the industry supply curve - the cost of production and Efficiency in the Long-Run Equilibrium
What is the value of marginal cost in a PC industry in equilibrium? Why?
- The value of marginal cost is the same fir all firms.
- Because all firms produce the quantity of output at which marginal cost equals the market price,
- and as price takers they all face the same market price
in a PC industry in equilibrium,with free entry and exit what will happen to profits in the loong run? why?
- There will be zero economics profit
- because each firm produces the quantity of output that minimizes its average total cost, so the total cost of production of the industry's output is minimized in a perfectly competitive industry
in a PC industry in equilibrium what will happen when there is increasing cost across the industry
- The high market price will give the entrants a positive economic profit,
- but for the last entrants they do not get positive economic profit because, average costs will be minimized as the industry reaches long run equilibrium

When the long run market equilibrium of a perfectly industry is efficient what does that mean for mutually beneficial transactions?
- no mutually beneficial transaction go unexploited
- When all consumers who have a willing ness to pay grater than or equal to the sells cost get the good
- and when the market price matches all consumers with a willingness to pay greater than or equal to the market price to all sellers who have a cost of producing the good less than or equal to the market price
What tells us that production is efficient in the LRE of a PC industry?
What tells us that the allocation to goods to consumers is efficient?
What does the force of competition make producers responsive to?
- Changes in consumers' desire,
