Which of the following is true if typical firms in a perfectly competitive market are allocatively efficient and produce at the lowest possible cost per unit?Firms are making economic losses and more firms will exit this industry.Firms will decrease their average total costs if they increase outputThe market is in long-run equilibrium.The market supply will shift rightFirms are earning economic profits and more firms will enter this industry.14. Which of following best describes a perfectly competitive firm in the short run and the long run?Short run: productively efficient only; long run: allocatively efficient onlyShort run: neither allocatively efficient nor productively efficient; long run: neither allocatively efficient nor productively efficientShort run: allocatively efficient; long run: allocatively efficient and productively efficientShort run: allocatively efficient and productively efficient; long run: neither allocatively efficient nor productively efficientShort run: neither allocatively efficient nor productively efficient; long run: allocatively efficient and productively efficientThe market for happy face stickers is perfectly competitive, and the market price for these stickers is greater than the average total cost (ATC) of a typical firm.15. Which of the following is true about this market?Firms are earning positive economic profits and more firms will enter this industry.Firms are producing an allocatively inefficient quantity and firms will exit this industry.Firms are charging prices higher than the marginal cost of producing stickers.Firms are producing a cost-efficient quantityFirms are earning zero economic profits and the market is in long-run equilibriumFirms Short Run Decisions to Produce and Long-Run Decisions to Enter or Exit the Market.Bailey runs a water sports service in a perfectly competitive beach town.
