CHAPTER 9 Perfect Competition and the Supply Curve PowerPoint® Slides by Can Erbil © 2004 Worth Publishers, all rights reserved

2 What you will learn in this chapter: Perfect competition and the characteristics of a perfectly competitive industry How a price-taking producer determines its profit-maximizing quantity of output Profits and why an unprofitable producer may continue to operate in the short run Short run versus the long run behavior of industries Industry supply curve in the short run and the long run

3 Perfect Competition A price-taking producer is a producer whose actions have no effect on the market price of the good it sells. A price-taking consumer is a consumer whose actions have no effect on the market price of the good he or she buys. A perfectly competitive market is a market in which all market participants are price-takers. A perfectly competitive industry is an industry in which producers are price-takers.

4 Two Necessary Conditions for Perfect Competition 1) Many producers, none of whom have a large market share. 2) An industry can be perfectly competitive only if consumers regard the products of all producers as equivalent (standardized product).

5 Free Entry and Exit There is free entry and exit into and from an industry when new producers can easily enter into or leave that industry.

7 Using Marginal Analysis to Choose the Profit-Maximizing Quantity of Output Marginal revenue is the change in total revenue generated by an additional unit of output. MR = ∆TR/∆Q

8 The Optimal Output Rule The optimal output rule says that profit is maximized by producing the quantity of output at which the marginal cost of the last unit produced is equal to its marginal revenue.

10 Marginal Analysis leads to Profit- Maximizing Quantity of Output The price-taking firm’s optimal output rule says that a price-taking firm’s profit is maximized by producing the quantity of output at which the marginal cost of the last unit produced is equal to the market price. The marginal revenue curve shows how marginal revenue varies as output varies.

11 The Price-Taking Firm’s Profit-Maximizing Quantity of Output The profit-maximizing point is where the marginal cost curve crosses the marginal revenue curve (which is a horizontal line at the market price).

12 When Is Production Profitable?  If TR > TC, the firm is profitable.  If TR = TC, the firm breaks even.  If TR < TC, the firm incurs a loss.

14 Profitability and Market Price

15 Profitability and Market Price

16 Profit, Break-even or Loss The break-even price of a price-taking firm is the market price at which it earns zero profits.  Whenever market price exceeds minimum average total cost, the producer is profitable.  Whenever the market price equals minimum average total cost, the producer breaks even.  Whenever market price is less than minimum average total cost, the producer is unprofitable.

17 The Short-Run Production Decision A firm will cease production in the short-run if the market price falls below the shut-down price, which is equal to minimum average variable cost.

18 Summary of the Competitive Firm’s Profitability and Production Conditions

19 Industry Supply Curve The industry supply curve shows the relationship between the price of a good and the total output of the industry as a whole.

20 The Short-Run Market Equilibrium There is a short-run market equilibrium when the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, taking the number of producers as given.

21 The Long-Run Market Equilibrium A market is in long-run market equilibrium when the quantity supplied equals the quantity demanded, given that sufficient time has elapsed for entry into and exit from the industry to occur.

22 The Effect of an Increase in Demand in the Short-Run and the Long-Run D ↑  P ↑  non-zero profits  entry  S ↑  P ↓  back to zero profit (on LRS curve)

23 Comparing the Short-Run and Long-Run Industry Supply Curves The long-run industry supply curve is always flatter—more elastic—than the short-run industry supply curve. This is because of entry and exit:

24 Three conclusions about the cost of production and efficiency in the long-run equilibrium of a perfectly competitive industry: 1) In a perfectly competitive industry in equilibrium, the value of marginal cost is the same for all firms. 2) In a perfectly competitive industry with free entry and exit, each firm will have zero economic profits in long- run equilibrium. 3) The long-run market equilibrium of a perfectly competitive industry is efficient: no mutually beneficial transactions go unexploited.
