Topic: Microeconomics<\/h2>\n

Order DescriptionAlthough your answers need not be lengthy (generally, 1-2 short paragraphs is fine), you should be careful to respond to all parts of the question asked. It is very important that your answers demonstrate that you have made the effort to read the chapter that relates to the question and thoroughly studied the relevant topic. Answers should be submitted in complete sentence and paragraph form, and writing presentation is important.?Please remember that late essay questions are NOT accepted.
1. How is a \u201cmarket\u201d defined? Distinguish between an industry and a market. (1 point)
2. Suppose a market becomes more competitive over time. What happens to the elasticity of demand for a particular firm\u2019s good as its market becomes more competitive? (1 point)
3. Why are the monopolist\u2019s and the monopolistically competitive firm\u2019s demand curves downward sloping while the competitive firm\u2019s demand curve is horizontal? (1 point)
4. Why is a perfectly competitive firm\u2019s long-run supply curve the same as its marginal cost curve above the average total cost curve? (1 point)
5. Explain why monopolists do not achieve efficiency. (1 point)
6. Another student advocates the forced break-up of large firms, such as Microsoft and AT&T, on the grounds that they have a lot of monopoly power, which they use to charge inefficiently high prices. According to Schumpeter, would breaking apart these gigantic firms guarantee consumers lower prices? Explain. (1 point)
7. Explain why firms should not shut down in the short run until price falls below average variable cost. (2 points)
8. Suppose your economics professor publicly states that she grades on a curve (i.e., the top 10% of the students get an A, the next 20% get a B, the next 40% get a C, the next 20% get a D, and the lowest 10% fail). The whole class could save itself a lot of work by agreeing privately not to study at all for the final exam and just letting the rankings thus far determine the final grades. Why might such an agreement be difficult to maintain and enforce? Which market structure, if any, is this situation most analogous to? (1 point)
9. Why do firms practice price discrimination? Is efficiency affected by price discrimination? If so, how? (1 point)<\/p>\n
