In the short run, phew MIDTERM EXAM 2 TRUE OR FALL | ‘The difference between economic profit and accounting profit is that economic profit calculated based on both implicit and explicit costs whereas accounting profit is calculated based on explicit costs only. Although economists and accountants treat many costs differently, they both treat the cost of capital the same, Diminishing marginal product exists when the production function becomes flattty as inputs increase. \) The average fixed cost curve is constant. ‘A monopolist’s supply curve is vertical. A monopoly creates a deadweight loss to society because Ae s less output than the socially efficient level. Oy For a firm operating in a perfectly carci marginal revenue and average revenue are equal. A firm will shut down in the short run rose) not sufficient to cover its variable costs of production. The supply curve of a firm in a market is the average variable cost curve above the minimum of marg exit the industry if its marginal cost exceeds its marginal os I. PANS 'E QUESTIONS 1.

Q = 80; PS = 600; x = 800 19. A perfectly competitive firm has average variable cost function as follow AVC = Q + 1. The firm's supply function is: a P=2Q+1 b.P=Q+1 ©. P=Q+2 dg. P=2Q+2 20. A perfectly competitive firm has total cost function as follow TC (S) = Q? + 4Q + 225. The firm's break — even output and price are: a. P=15;Q=34 b.P=19;Q=15 ¢. P=34;Q=15 d. P= 30;Q=15 21. A perfectly competitive firm has total cost function as follow TC (S$) = 5@2 +125, If the market price is 80S, the firm's output and profit are: xy a. Q=6;2=55 b.Q=8:2=5 c.Q=4;x=75 d.Q= 22. A monopolist is facing with the demand curve P = +4 and FC = 8000, Price and quantity when this fi he firm's cost are AVC = Q a. P= 376; Q = 124 ». PE 124; Q = 376 c. P=421;Q= 124 (Obr-neg 214 23, A monopoly faces a demand, fa low (D): P = 80 — 2Q. The firm’s total cost ). Lerner index and deadweight loss in this case are: b. L = 0,33; DWL = 50 d. L = 0,33; DWL = 150 function is given by TC = a, L = 0,36; DWE = ¢, L=0,305 <0 24, The supply _ monopolist Le ital” d. does not exist. 25. The profit-maximization problem for a monopolist differs from that of a competitive firm in which of the following ways? a. A competi firm maximizes profit at the point where marginal revenue equals. marginal cost; a monopolist maximizes profit at the point where marginal revenue exceeds marginal cost. b. A competitive firm maximizes profit at the point where average revenue equals marginal cost; a monopolist maximizes profit at the point where average revenue exceeds marginal cost. c. For a competitive firm, marginal revenue at the profit-maximizing level of output is equal to marginal revenue at all other levels of output: for a monopolist, marginal revenue at the profit-maximizing level of output is smaller than it ®\for larger levels of output. 4. For a profit-maximizing competitive firm, thinking at the margin ‘more important than it is for a profit-maximizing monopolist. 26. A monopolist’s average revenue is always NN a. equal to marginal revenue.
