Choice 2 of 2:False
Save Answer
3. If you add two inverse supply curves, P_1left(q_1right):+:P_2left(q_2right)P1(q1)+P2(q2), you will obtain the market inverse supply curve.
Choice 1 of 2:True

Save Answer
4. The average cost curve intersects the marginal cost curve, where the marginal cost curve takes its minimum value.
Choice 1 of 2:True
Choice 2 of 2:False
Save Answer
5. The average cost curve above the marginal cost curve is the inverse supply curve for a firm that sells its output in a competitive market.
Choice 1 of 2:True
Choice 2 of 2:False
Save Answer
6. The cost curve, which shows the minimum cost needed to produce a given output, only holds for competitive firms. Firms in other types of markets will have different cost curves.
Choice 1 of 2:True
Choice 2 of 2:False
Save Answer
7. The price where the marginal cost curve takes its minimum is the lowest price where a firm can operate.
Choice 1 of 2:True
Choice 2 of 2:False
Save Answer
