PRODUCTION, ENTRY, AND EXIT 2
Imagine you own your own business. Based on what you learned from the
simulation, what factors would determine your entry and exit into a market?
A factor that would determine if I would enter or exit a market is the expected
profitability. For instance, I was willing to drive in the game if I expected to generate a profit,
and I would opt not to drive if I expected not to generate a profit. Thus, I would exit a market
if the business's revenue is less than the total costs. The decision to exit the market would
enable me to cut my losses.
Applying the concept of marginal costs, how would you, as a business owner,
decide how much to produce?
The marginal cost is the change in the total cost of production that results from
producing one additional unit. The concept of the marginal cost would inform me how much
to produce and end up with a profit. In particular, the profit will be maximized by ensuring
that the marginal cost is equal to the marginal revenue. For this reason, I would increase
production if the marginal cost is less than the marginal revenue and vice versa (Mankiw,
2018).
How does the impact of fixed costs change production decisions in the short run
and in the long run?
In the short run, fixed costs would impact production decisions by determining how
much to produce. However, considering that fixed costs remain unchanged, they will not
impact production decisions in the long run, thus allowing for economies of scale.
