Part 2: Long Answers

1. Consider a market in a perfectly competitive long run equilibrium. Draw the cost diagram for an average firm, including average fixed cost, average variable cost, average total cost, and marginal cost. Suppose advances in production technology make each product easier to make than it was before. Draw a new cost diagram including all of the same curves as before. Does this firm now make negative, zero, or positive economic profit in the short run? Based on that, should the number of firms in the market go up, down or stay the same? Draw an overall market supply and demand diagram to illustrate what happens in the market in response to this technological advancement. After the dust has settled, what profit will the firm make in the long run?
