QUESTION 1
1 Assume that all firms in a competitive industry have cost curves given by the following: TC = 81 +4q +q2. Assume that initially the price in this market equals 18. Which of the following is true for a typical firm in the industry?
In the short run, the firm realises profits but in the long run as more firms join the market, the profits will reduce setting this firm out of business
A profit maximising firm will shut down in the short run and exit the industry in the long run.
A profit maximising firm will not shut down in the short run but will exit the industry in the long run.
A profit maximising firm will not shut down in the short run and will not exit the industry in the long run.

QUESTION 2
1 When Picasso’s Gelatos ice-creamery in Newtown increases the price of their triple waffle by 10 percent, sales decrease by 5 percent. This indicates that:
Demand decreases by less than the change in price hence inelastic at a rate of 5/10 = 1/2
Demand is elastic and own price elasticity of demand in absolute terms equals 2.
Demand is inelastic and own price elasticity of demand in absolute terms equals 2.
Demand is elastic and own price elasticity of demand in absolute terms equals ½.
Demand is inelastic and own price elasticity of demand in absolute terms equals ½.

QUESTION 3
1 Assume that the price of sorbet at Giuseppe’s Best Italian ice-creamery increases from $3.90 to $4.10. If the quantity demanded of triple waffles at Picasso’s Gelatos ice-creamery decreases by 10 percent this is consistent with:
Ice cream and waffles are complements hence demand for one leads to fall in demand for the other hence price elasticity is given by (3.9 – 4.1) / 0.1 = -2
Using the mid-point formula, sorbet and waffles having a cross price elasticity equal to -0.5 and being substitutes.
Using the mid-point formula, sorbet and waffles having a cross price elasticity equal to -2.0 and being substitutes.
Using the mid-point formula, sorbet and waffles having a cross price elasticity equal to -0.5 and being complements.

QUESTION 7
1 Consider a constant cost industry that is perfectly competitive and in which the demand curve is downward sloping. Further, starting from a long run equilibrium assume that firms experience an improvement in technology that lowers average total cost but does not change marginal cost. In the long run, we would expect:
The improvement in technology will only affect the producers hence improvement will be noticed on their parts as opposed to consumers.
