7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for titanium. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every rm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. 100 80 70 4o ATC 30 COSTS (Dollars per pound) 20 10 MC AVG 0102030405060708090100 QUANTITY (Thousands of pounds) The following diagram shows the market demand for titanium. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve. ) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. 100 90 80 Supply (10 firms) 70 60 Supply (15 firms) PRICE (Dollars per pound) 50 A 40 Supply (20 firms) Demand 30 20 10 0 0 125 250 375 500 625 750 875 1000 1125 1250 QUANTITY (Thousands of pounds)If there were 15 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would be per pound. At that price, rms in this industry would V . Therefore, in the long run, firms would V the titanium market. Because you know that competitive rms earn V economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be V firms operating in the titanium industry in long-run equilibrium. True or False: Assuming implicit costs are positive, each of the firms operating in this industry in the long run earns negative accounting prot. 0 True 0 False
