Class 12 Micro Economics - Chapter The Theory of the Firm under Perfect Competition NCERT Solutions | The following table shows the total reve

The market price of a good changes from Rs 5 to Rs 20. As a result, the quantity supplied by a firm increases by 15 units. The price elasticity of the firm’s supply curve is 0.5. Find the initial and final output levels of the firm.

What is the supply curve of a firm in the long run?

A firm earns a revenue of Rs 50 when the market price of a good is Rs 10. The market price increases to Rs 15 and the firm now earns a revenue of Rs 150. What is the price elasticity of the firm’s supply curve?

How does the imposition of a unit tax affect the supply curve of a firm?

What is the relation between market price and average revenue of a price-taking firm?

What is the relation between market price and marginal revenue of a price-taking firm?

How does an increase in the number of firms in a market affect the market supply curve?

How does an increase in the price of an input affect the supply curve of a firm?

How does technological progress affect the supply curve of a firm?

Will a profit-maximising firm in a competitive market ever produce a positive level of output in the range where the marginal cost is falling? Give an explanation.

Explain the concept of a production function

What would be the shape of the demand curve so that the total revenue curve is?

(a) A positively sloped straight line passing through the origin?

(b) A horizontal line?

Explain market equilibrium.

Discuss the central problems of an economy.

What do you mean by the budget set of a consumer?

What is the total product of input?

From the schedule provided below calculate the total revenue, demand curve and the price elasticity of demand:

When do we say that there is an excess demand for a commodity in the market?

What do you mean by the production possibilities of an economy?

What is budget line?

What is the reason for the long run equilibrium of a firm in monopolistic competition to be associated with zero profit?

If duo poly behavior is one that is described by Cornet, the market demand curve is given by the equation q = 200 - 4p and both the firms have zero costs, find the quantity supplied by each firm in equilibrium and the equilibrium market price. 

Why is the short-run marginal cost curve 'U'-shaped? 

Suppose there are two consumers in the market for a good and their demand functions are as follows:

d1(p) = 20 – p for any price less than or equal to 20, and d1(p) = 0 at any price greater than 20.

d2(p) = 30 – 2p for any price less than or equal to 15 and d1(p) = 0 at any price greater than 15.

Find out the market demand function.

What would be the shape of the demand curve so that the total revenue curve is?

(a) A positively sloped straight line passing through the origin?

(b) A horizontal line?

What is the law of variable proportions? 

When do we say that there is an excess demand for a commodity in the market?

From the schedule provided below calculate the total revenue, demand curve and the price elasticity of demand:

The following table shows the total cost schedule of a firm. What is the total fixed cost schedule of this firm? Calculate the TVC, AFC, AVC, SAC and SMC schedules of the firm.

List the three different ways in which oligopoly firms may have.
