0 1 0
The market supply curves and market
demand curves for books are given as
follows:
Supply curve: P = 0.000002Q Demand
curve: P = 11 – 0.00002Q
The short-run marginal cost curve: MC =
0.1 + 0.0009Q
Assuming all �rms in the market are
identical, how many �rms are producing
books?
a. Given the information provided, it
cannot be determined.

The short-run marginal cost curve: MC =
0.1 + 0.0009Q
At the short-run equilibrium level, the �rm
is …
a. making zero economic pro�t
b. making a loss of R1 000 000
c. making a pro�t of R1 000 000
d. given the information provided, it
cannot be determined.

A �rm producing �ve units of output has
an average total cost of R100 and has to
pay R250 to its �xed factors of production.
The average variable cost is …
A perfect competitor found that it could
produce a maximum output of 100 units
each day, which it can sell at the market
price or AR of R100, but even at this rate, it
would make a loss. Considering this
information, under what circumstances
would it de�nitely make a smaller loss if it
shut down and produced nothing?
a. At an output level of 100 units a
day, its short-run marginal cost
(SMC) would be above R100.
b. At an output level of 100 units a
day, its average variable cost
(AVC) would be above R100.
c. At an output level of 100 units a
day, its average �xed cost (AFC)
would be above R100.
d. At an output level of 100 units a
day, its short-run average cost
(SAC) would be above R100.
Question 7
Complete
Mark 2.00 out of 2.00
In an unregulated, competitive market,
producer surplus exists because some ...
a. consumers are willing to pay
more than the equilibrium price.
b. consumers are willing to
purchase, but only at prices below
the equilibrium price.
c. producers are willing to take more
than the equilibrium price.
d. producers are willing to sell at
less than the equilibrium price.
