Consider three firms, A, B and C, all producing kilos of potatoes (per year) in a perfectly competitive market. The diagrams below show marginal cost curves for each of the three firms.



FIGURE 12-1

Refer to Figure 12-1. Suppose each of Firms A, B, and C are producing 500 kilos of potatoes. Is this industry allocatively efficient?


◦ It is not possible to say whether this industry is allocatively efficient because we do not know the average costs for each firm.
◦ No, since marginal costs are not equated for all firms, the industry is not productively efficient, and thus cannot be allocatively efficient.
◦ No, because the marginal cost curve for each firm has a different slope.
◦ It is not possible to say whether this industry is allocatively efficient because we do not know the market price for kilos of potatoes.
◦ Yes, because output is equated for all firms.
