Document Summary

The amount a firm receives for the sale of its output. The market value of the inputs a firm uses in production. Includes explicit and implicit costs (money you get receipt for and money you don"t get receipt for. Economic profits: tr - tc, total costs including both implicit and explicit costs. Economic losses: when tr > tc, there is profit. When it"s the other way around, it"s a loss. Thus, economic profit is smaller than accounting profit. Zero economic profit, but there"s still normal profit. Shows relationship between quantity of inputs used to make a good and the quantity of output of that good. How many resources i use and how much i produce. Fixed inputs - cannot vary in quantity for some time (ex. Short run, sr = the period of time in which at least one input into production is fixed. Long run, lr = the period of time in which all inputs into production can vary.

You may be aware that there are three types of profit: accounting profit, economic profit, and normal profit. The difference between the total revenue and the sum of the explicit and implicit costs of an organization results in economic profit. It is commonly assumed that every firm's goal is to maximize its profit, and the economic theory of business is built on this underlying assumption. Address the following in detail: Describe the economic principles that company executives should consider when developing a strategy or strategies that will maximize profits while minimizing incentives for competitors to develop competing products. Explain why each of these economic principles is important to the company's strategy. Recommend and justify a strategy that you believe will maximize profits while minimizing incentives for increased competition.

A. A competitive firm

can consider only its location in setting the price.
must base its competitive price on product differentiation.
has the ability to set its own price.
must accept the price determined by the intersection of the market supply and demand curves.
has no supply curve.

B. If a firm is making an economic profit, then

the factors of production are being paid their opportunity costs.
there will be no change in the number of firms if the industry is perfectly competitive.
the factors of production are being paid less than their opportunity costs.
the factors of production are being paid more than their opportunity costs.
the firm will exit the industry

C. Along a downward-sloping monopoly demand curve,

marginal revenue is greater than price.
the elasticity of demand is constant.
marginal revenue decreases when the price decreases.
marginal revenue is equal to zero when the price is equal to zero

D. If, in the short run, a perfectly competitive firm is producing at a point where the total cost is greater than total revenue, then the firm should

shut down because economic profits are negative.
continue to produce as long as P > AVC.
continue to produce because accounting profits are positive.
set a higher price for its output.
set a lower price for its output

E. For a perfectly competitive firm, the demand curve is

the marginal revenue curve.
perfectly inelastic.
always equal to marginal cost.
the same as the market demand curve

F. A firm in a(n) industry will have the most elastic demand curve

monopolistic
oligopolistic
monopolistically competitive
perfectly competitive

G. If the demand curve of a monopolist is in the inelastic range, then

total revenue will fall if the price increases.
total revenue will be unchanged if the price increases.
total revenue will rise if the price increases.
the total supply will increase by an equal amount if demand increases.
the price will be unchanged if total revenue increases

H. Monopolistic competition and oligopoly are examples of

monopoly.
perfect competition.
theories of consumer behavior.
imperfect competition.
the extreme cases on the market structure continuum

I. Under which market structure do firms face the flattest (most elastic) demand curve?

perfect competition
monopolistic competition
oligopoly
monopoly

J. At the point of long-run equilibrium for a perfectly competitive firm,

economic profits are zero.
TR > TC.
TR < TC.
P = AVC.
normal profits are zero.
