#1 MC MR=D=AR= P ATC AVC Q $20 15 10 14 5 6 Should the firm produce?
What output should the firm produce? What is TR at that output? What is TC? How much profit or loss? Yes 10 TR=$140 TC=$100 Profit=$40 $20 15 10 5 MC MR=D=AR= P 14 ATC Cost and Revenue AVC 6 Q

What output should the firm produce? What is TR at MR=MC point? What is TC at MR=MC point? How much profit or loss? Zero Shutdown (Price below AVC) $45 $55 Loss=Only Fixed Cost $5 $20 15 10 5 MC ATC AVC 11 Cost and Revenue 9 MR=D=AR=P Q 5 7

Perfect Competition in the Long Run
5
Side-By-Side for Industry and Firm
Is the firm making a profit or a loss?
6
Where is the profit maximization point? How do you know?
What output should be produced? What is TR? What is TC? How much is the profit or loss? Where is the Shutdown Point? $25 20 15 10 MC MR=P Profit ATC Cost and Revenue AVC Total Revenue Total Cost
7
Supply (Again)
8
Marginal Cost and Supply
As price increases, the quantity increases
9
Marginal cost above average variable cost is the supply curve
10
Marginal Cost and Supply What if variable costs increase (ex: tax)?
MC2=Supply2 $50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 MC1=Supply1 AVC Cost and Revenue AVC When MC increases, SUPPLY decrease Q 10
11
Marginal Cost and Supply
What if variable costs decrease (ex: subsidy)? MC1=Supply1 $50 45 40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 MC2=Supply2 AVC Cost and Revenue AVC When MC decreases, SUPPLY increases Q 11
12
Perfect Competition in the Long Run
13
In the Long Run Firms will enter if there is a profit
Firms will leave if there is a loss Therefore, all firms break even… they make NO economic profit No economic profit = normal profit A perfectly competitive firm in long run equilibrium is EXTREMELY efficient
14
Is the firm making a profit or a loss? Why?
Side-by-side graph for perfectly completive industry and firm in the LONG RUN Is the firm making a profit or a loss? Why? P S P MC ATC MR=D $15 $15 D Q 5000 8 Q Firm (price taker) Industry 14

Firm in Long-Run Equilibrium
Price = MC = Minimum ATC Firm making a normal profit P MC ATC $15 MR=D There is no incentive to enter or leave the industry TC = TR 8 Q 15
16
Long Run Short Run
17
Is this the short run or the long run? Why?
What will firms do in the long run? What happens to P and Q in the industry? What happens to P and Q in the firm?
18
Price decreases and quantity increases
Firms enter to earn profit so supply increases in the industry Price decreases and quantity increases P S P MC S1 ATC $15 $15 MR=D $10 D Q 5000 6000 8 Q Industry Firm 18

Price falls for the firm because they are price takers.

Is this the short or long run? Why?
What will firms do in the long run? What happens to P and Q in the industry? What happens to P and Q in the firm?
