<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>
(a). Firm in perfect competition produces at minimum efficient scale, MEC where average cost AC is minimum. The price is determined by the market supply and demand.
(b) Note that q1 is at the minimum of AC while Q* is to the left of q1. Similarly, P1 is equal to MC while P* is higher than MC. This shows that firms in perfect competition produce more and charge less than the firms in monopolistically competitive market.
(c) All firms in monopolistically competitive market as well as perfectly competitive market earn zero economic profit in the long run. This is because there is a free entry and exit
(d) Demand is steeper for firms in monopolistically competitive market so that demand is elastic. Demand is horizontal for any quantity which means it is perfectly elastic for a firm in competitive market.
Answer:
Total estimated cost $148,680
Fixed cost $20,680
Explanation:
Using the high-low method to estimate the amount of fixed cost that is incurred each month
Units Cost
High 207 153,160
LOW 38 45,000
Difference 169 108,160
Variable cost per unit= 108,160/169
Variable cost per unit= 640
Fixed cost = 153,160-207*640
Fixed cost = 20,680
Total estimated cost= 200*640+20,680
Total estimated cost=128,000+20,680
Total estimated cost=148,680
Therefore Total estimated cost will be $148,680 and Fixed cost will be $20,680
