It really helped a lot especially during this period of online learning. I understood it perfectly well. Thanks and keep the good work up👍🏻👍🏻😌

[@ratankirti3185]

sir, why is the AR or demand curve not becoming more elastic i.e flatening out with the entry of new firms?

[@tonsabarillo]

Hi Mr. Khan, I really admire your work! Just a question about this video's content: Shouldn't the vertical intercept of both MR and the D curve become lower when both curves/lines shift to the left? (It's how Pindyck and Rubinfeld graphed it in their book) :)

[@markkrikelis7093]

Very helpful video. What software are you using to draw the graphs and write accurately? I am assuming it would something like a usb connected surface?

[@quriositysquared1028]

Thanks a bunch, really love it!

[@benong94]

you're like an economics god. thank you

[@tonsabarillo]

Marginal cost in the short run is the incremental change in the variable cost for every additional unit of output. In the short run, assume that only the labor input is variable and capital is fixed. This means marginal cost (MC) is related to the marginal productivity of labor (MPL). As your per unit labor contributes less and less additional productivity, your incremental cost per unit output will necessarily increase because you'll need to hire more and more people to keep on producing. :)

[@ashxx2928]

WOW its been 10 years now! 2012!!

[@mailalexjoseph]

i cant thank you enough for this video. Beautifully explained!!

[@matlanikusum.4788]

Perfectly explained. Thankyou so much:) Keep up the good work👍

[@Eman81569]

I don`t understand why when the demand curve was shifted to the right it still had the same starting point on the horizontal axis? Why it was not shifted as it is, and consequently that starting point would be different. Any help, please?

[@msksthansen]

Extremely well explained!

[@ttkia]

I was wondering about that too. Though I've been taught this way

[@ahmedkhalil1053]

how would the graph look like if the price increases in a monopolistic competition?

[@ms.makaveli5416]

I can't believe this is In 2012. I was only 11, now I'm 21 in college.

[@LaureanoLuna]

03:06 I'm inclined to think ATC should intersect MC where MC intersects Demand. Where MC intersects Demand would lie the perfect competence equilibrium with no economic profit: MC=P = ATC. Or what am I missing?

[@domlee5902]

Laureano Luna I know this is an old comment but maybe someone still needs an answer. For a monopolistic competitor to be in long-run equilibrium, ATC must intersect demand directly above MR=MC, and this will NOT be it’s lowest point. Here, the firm will be making a normal profit.

[@krin5506]

Nice

[@thesixthsense1]

Super like..

[@saraswathisaras825]

I don't know Wat is elastic and inelastic??

[@Funkaaaay]

you've got a point o_O

[@nthperson]

What about the market for land and land-like assets with an inelastic supply curve? In any region of the world some portion of the available supply of land is not available because of topography. Some is set aside by public policy for parks and recreation, for roads and public infrastructure. Privately held land is almost everywhere held by a small percentage of the population, particularly when land value is the test. Is this not a circumstance of a market plagued by monopolistic pressures?

[@anson9213]

wouldnt the new demand curve in the long run be more elastic though

[@zaidradwan4000]

I have a test in economics tomorrow

stupid: why would the MC go up when apple sends more ipads????

[@vishnuvardhan_me1892]

[@nissarali8788]

Demand curve should shift then slope remains the same and only intercept changes. You have done the opposite...
