Question 2
Complete
Use the diagram below which shows the short-run conditions of a firm in a perfectly competitive market to answer
Mark 1.00 out of
the question.
1.00
The firm is making _______.
an economic profit of R21 750.
an economic loss of R83 375.
a normal loss of R21 750.
an economic profit of R105 125.
To determine economic profit or loss, or normal profit in the short run of a perfectly competitive firm, you need to
compare P with AC. If P > AC, firms will make an economic profit; if P < AC, firms will make an economic loss and,
where P = AC, firms make a normal profit in the short run.
In the diagram, P > AC or R145 > R115 = economic profit of R30 per unit.
To determine the total economic profit, the profit-maximisation output, must be multiplied by the economic profit
per unit: R30 x 725 units = R21 750.

sales will drop to zero.
sales will stay the same.
A firm in a perfectly competitive market, is faced by a horizontal demand curve, which implies that firms can sell any
quantity at the given market price. If a firm raises its price above the market price, sales will drop to zero, because
consumers can buy any quantity at the given (lower) market price.
