TESTS Unit Test #3 OBJECTIVES Explain the relationship between marginal cost and marginal product and marginal cost and AVC and ATC. List and analyze the differences between the four major market structures. Explain the tendency towards break-even in the long-run in perfect competition. Explain entry barriers that keep competitors out of industries controlled by monopolies. Explain the gap between marginal revenue and price in noncompetitive markets. Explain how elasticity of the demand curve determines output and pricing in a monopoly. Analyze why noncompetitive markets are less efficient than perfect competition. Identify and analyze pricing problems associated with an oligopoly.
