Assuming no economies of scale, in which of marginal cost is equal to marginal venue in the upward sloping part of the marginal cost curve the following industries is the firm producing at the highest average total cost in the long run (at the highest point on its ATC curve)? price is equal to marginal cost in the ward part of the marginal cost curve average total cost is at the lowest point Pure competition Monopsony According to our text, which of the following is accurate about a monopoly industry? Firms in all of the listed industry types produce at higher than the minimum ATC. A monopoly does not have control over the price.

The higher education market in which approximately 30 - 40 colleges offer classes in each state At a quantity of 400 units, the firm's marginal cost reaches its lowest point at $1.80.

Which of the following companies are most likely to face a nearly horizontal demand curve? 300 clothing retail stores offering their goods on the Internet 600 Companies (like Netflix) offering program 500 The wholesale oil industry. 400 Companies offering search engines on the Internet 700 When gasoline prices rise, oil companies are often accused of collusion in order to artificially raise the price and reap exorbitant (extremely high) profits. Which of the following is a reason According to oligopoly game theory, if firm A sets a low price and firm B sets a low price, then why this is unlikely to persist in the long run? The profits of both firms will be excessive and unsustainable A high price will lower profits of the existing firms The profits of both firms will be relatively low The profits of both firms will be relatively high It is usually very easy for all the producers in the industry to come to an agreement about the price and production quotas so the agreement breaks down easily too The profits of both firms will be at a medium high level )All of the listed answers are correct. Which of the following Anti-trust acts provided more specific guidelines to anti-trust legislation A high price will invite new entrants (competitors) into the market who will undercut the price in order to (for example, price discrimination is not allowed if it hinders competition, and a person cannot establish a place in the market. serve on competing firms' board of directors)?
