The cashew industry is perfectly competitive and until now each of the identical firms in the industry have been earning zero ec

onomic profits while selling ay units of output each (for a combined industry-wide total of qy units) at a market equilibrium price of P1 per unit. An unexpected increase in the demand for cashews raises the market equilibrium price to P2, which creates a situation in which P2 exceeds MC at 91 units of output.
a. If the firms continued producing 91 units each, would their combined output of cashews be too little, too much, or just right to achieve allocative efficiency?
i. Just right
ii. Too much
iii. Too little
b. In the long run, what will happen to the supply of cashews and the price of cashews?
i. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P1.
ii. The industry's supply of cashews will be less than Q1 and the price of cashews will be less than P1.
iii. The industry's supply of cashews will equal Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P2.
iv. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P2.

Answer:

a. iii. Too little

b. i. The industry's supply of cashews will exceed Q1 and the price of cashews will equal P1.

Explanation:

Allocative efficiency refers to the point in production where Marginal Revenue equals Marginal cost. As this is a perfectly competitive market, marginal revenue is the same as price which as shown in the question, exceeds Marginal cost. The firms are therefore producing too little to achieve allocative efficiency and need to produce more to make price and marginal cost equal.

In the long run, the firms will produce more such that supply would exceed the original quantity supplied of Q1. This will lead to the price falling back to P1 as there is now less scarcity.

ohaa [14]

Answer:

The marginal cost of driving the car is $7.50 + the cost of gas.

Explanation:

Initial cost: $29.95

200 miles you drove- 150 miles free= 50 miles you have to pay for

50 miles * 15 cents per mile

50* 0.15= $7.5

What is the condition for profit maximization for a pure competitive firm?
Reika [66]
I believe this needs to come from a non monetary source. Pure competition allows for no price change between firms. So profit maximization needs to come from market share. I believe the answer would have to be in service levels or ease of business improvements. If you are forced to have the same price levels the levers to pull are few but the exist only customer service, ease of transacting, other value add initiatives. Just my thoughts
