b) What profit does the firm earn at this output level?
K A firm's profit function is (q) = R(q)-C(q)=100q- (190+40q+10q²). What is the positive output level that maximizes the firm's profit (or minimizes its loss)? What is the firm's revenue, variable cost, and profit? Should it operate or shut down in the short run? The output level at which the firm's profit is maximized is q = (Enter your response as a whole number.)
Each firm in a competitive market has a cost function of: C= 49 + q?. so its marginal cost function is MC = 2q. The market demand function is Q = 56 -p. Determine the long-run equilibrium price, quantity per firm, market quantity, and number of firms. The output per firm is. (round your answer to the nearest integer) The long-run equilibrium number of firms is (round your answer to the nearest integer) The long-run equilibrium price is $. (round your answer to the nearest penny)
Consider a competitive firm with total costs given by T C(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2. The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Graph the AT C, AV C, MC, and MR curves in a single graph, and indicate the profit maximizing level of output. If there are profits, shade the region corresponding to profit and label it. (b) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, what happens to the profit maximizing level of output, T R, T C, and π? (c) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, should the firm continue to operate in the short-run? What about the long-run?
Suppose the cost function for a firm is given by C(Q) = 100 + Q2. If the firm sells output in a perfectly competitive market and other firms in the industry sell output at a price of $10,A) What level of output should the firm produce to maximize profits or minimize losses?B) What are the profits at the optimal output amount? C) Should the company produce this optimal amount or should it shut down?
A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has fixed costs of FC = 3 and average variable costs of AVC = 2 + 8q. a) What are the firm’s variable costs (VC)? b) What is the firm’s total cost function? c) If the price is $18, how much does the firm supply? d) Does the firm continue to supply this quantity in the short run? e) Suppose there exists a standard market demand function from consumers (downward sloping). Please provide logical discussion about how the market achieves short-run equilibrium. f) Suppose the market demand was given by Qd(p) = 50 – p. Suppose further that a sales tax of £1 per unit is imposed in the market. Calculate the deadweight loss resulting from this tax. Assume the market consists of 100 firms with identical cost functions.

Assume that a firm in a competitive market faces the following cost information. If the market price for this firm's product is $40, calculate the profit maximizing level of output for this firm using marginal analysis. It may help to create your own cost table and fill in columns for Marginal Cost and Average Total Cost based on the Total Cost information below. a.What is the level of profit for this firm at the profit maximizing output? b.To convince yourself that the quantity you found is indeed the profit maximizing quantity, try calculating what the profit would be at the next higher level of output. What did you find? c. What do you predict will happen in this market over the long run?
