If you are an entrepreneur and working under conditions of perfect competition, when would you decide to shut down in the short-run?

Answer»

Under perfect competition, we would decide to shut down in the short-run when the marginal revenue drops below the average variable cost. In case price falls below this point, then firm will not even be able to meet its average variable cost. It will constitute more than minimum loss, and to avoid it, the firm will prefer to shut down its production. Thus, shut down price is the price below which the firm chooses not to produce at all.

30187.

What do you understand by total revenue of the firm?

According to Dooley, “Total revenue is the sum of all sales, receipts or income of a firm.”

What do you mean by Short-run period in equilibrium of firm?

Answer»

Short term is the period of time in which companies can change or decrease the number of step factors such as labour and raw materials only, while there is no change in certain factors such as capital equipment.

30189.

What do you mean by Long-run equilibrium of firm?

Answer»

There is a long term period, which is long enough to allow the firm to make changes in all the factors of production. In the long run, all the factors are variable. Economics has not been a definitive factor for a long time in that period. Every factor can be changed, the size of the firm can change, a new company can enter the industry or old companies can leave it. In this way, long-term supply can be fully adjusted with demand.

30190.

Why does a firm earn maximum profits by producing the amount of output where marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost?

Answer»

Profits will be highest at that level of output where marginal cost coincides with the marginal revenue, i.e., MC = MR. A firm will go on expanding its level of output so long as an extra unit of output adds more to revenue than to cost. Since it will be profitable to do so. The firm will not produce an additional unit of the product which adds more to cost than to revenue because to produce that unit will mean losses. Thus, a firm will go on expanding output as long as marginal revenue (MR) exceeds marginal cost (MC) of Production. The level of output where marginal revenue (MR) and marginal cost (MC) equals is the point of maximum profit.

30191.

Write down two features of perfect competition.

Answer»

Following are the two features of perfect competiton:

  1. A Large Number of Firms The first condition of perfect competition is that there are a large number of companies in the industry. The presence of a large number of firms making and selling the product ensures that no single producer or buyer can have any effect on the price of the product.
  2. Homogenous Product The products produced by all firms in the industry are fully homogeneous and identical. It means that the products of various firms are indistinguishable from each other; they are perfect substitutes for one another. The control over price is completely eliminated only when all firms are producing homogeneous products.
30192.

A firm is in a state of balance while : (a) When it is in a position to reduce the production of the goods. (b) When the production of the goods is in the condition of increasing. (c) When the production of goods neither increase nor decrease. (d) None of these
