A producer is a price-taker when its decision cannot affect the market price.


5. Soru

Why can't a price taker firm influence the market price?

Cevap

A price taker firm can`t influence the market price because its production is an insignificant part of the total market.


6. Soru

How can we define the necessary conditions for a competitive industry?

Cevap

1.There are many firms; a single firm produces and sells a tiny fraction of the total market sold to many consumers.

2.Producers and consumers are well informed about the quality and price of the good in question.

3.Firms produce and sell an identical product.

4.There are no restrictions on entry into (or exit from) the market, and established firms don`t have any specific advantage over new firms.


7. Soru

What is Sunk Cost?

Sunk Cost: an expenditure that was incurred in the past and is irreversible in the short-run.


8. Soru

What is the main aim of a perfectly competitive firm?

Cevap

The main aim of a perfectly competitive firm is to maximize economic profit. A perfectly competitive price-taker firm must decide which technology to adopt and what quantity to produce in the short run along with deciding whether to exit or stay in a market in the long run.


9. Soru

What is  Total Revenue ?

Cevap

Total Revenue: the total amount of money received by a seller, which is equal to price times quantity sold.


10. Soru

What is Marginal Revenue?

Cevap

Marginal Revenue: the additional revenue obtained by selling one more unit.


11. Soru

What does the average revenue equal?

Cevap

The average revenue equals the price of the product not only for a perfectly
competitive firm but also for all types of firms.


12. Soru

In a perfectly competitive market, what does marginal revenue equal ?

Cevap

In a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue equals price; P=MR


13. Soru

If the price is less than the average variable cost at its lowest point, what will happen to the firm?

Cevap

If the price is less than the average variable cost at its lowest point, the firm will not be able to continue to produce.


14. Soru

What is Perfectly competitive market equilibrium?

Cevap

Perfectly competitive market equilibrium: the market equilibrium in a perfectly
competitive market in which the economic profit of each individual seller is zero, and there is no incentive for entry or exit.


15. Soru

Why do all firms in a particular industry make normal economic profit and in the long-run equilibrium, no producer has an incentive to enter or exit in the long run?

Cevap

In the long run, because of free entry and exit, all firms in a particular industry make normal economic profit and in the long-run equilibrium, no producer has an incentive to enter or exit.


16. Soru

What is Economic efficiency?

Cevap

Economic efficiency is the use of scarce resources—the labor force, natural resources and land—that will yield the highest possible amount of output or the production of what people demand using the least amount of input.


17. Soru

In economics, what does efficiency mean?

Cevap

In economics, efficiency means production and allocation efficiency.


18. Soru

What does Production efficiency refer to?

Cevap

Production efficiency refers to a production level when it is produced at the lowest point on the long run average cost curve where marginal cost equals AC.


19. Soru

In a perfectly competitive market, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. What does this mean?

Cevap

In a perfectly competitive market, firms produce at the lowest possible long-run average cost. This means consumers will pay the lowest possible price.


20. Soru

What is the most important implication of the perfect competition analysis?

Cevap

The most important implication of the perfect competition analysis is that each firm acts in an economically efficient manner. In the long run, inefficient firms will be forced to exit the market
