Perfect Competition and Monopoly Problems1. Suppose the typical firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the following long-run totalcost function:TC = 240Q – 6Q2 + 0.08Q*|What is the long-run price for product Q?2. Stanley Smith has a soft drink concession monopoly at Fort Tippecanoe, Indiana, CountyFair. He believes his total cost for supplying the drinks will beTC = 800 + 0.2Q + 0.0001Q?If the County Fair Board tells him he must charge $0.80 and demand for the drinks duringthe fair is given by the demand curveQ = 5000 – 2500Pdetermine the following:(a) The number of drinks sold and Stanley's total profit at the fixed price of $0.80 per drink.(b) Stanley's profit-maximizing output, price, and profit if he were allowed to set his ownprice instead of having to charge $0.80.

A perfectly competitive firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC on the rising portion of the firm’s marginal cost curve. At that output level, it has the following costs and revenues: TC = $830,000 VC = $525,000 TR = $428,000 Given that the firm produces the level of output at which MR=MC, calculate the amount of profit (loss) this firm earns. is it Profit=TR-TC?
2. Consider a market with 90 firms, each firm has a short-run total cost function as follows: TC(q) = 5q2, and a marginal cost function: MC(q) = 10q. Market demand is given by equation Qd(p) = 200 - p. a) What is the fixed cost? Solve the average variable cost function in the short-run. b) What is the supply function of each firm? c) Solve for the short-run equilibrium outcome: P*, Q* and q*. d) What is one firm's economic profit in this market?
Consider the following costs of a typical firm in a purely competitive industry. The firm has no fixed cost given only the available information, what would you except product price to be in the long run?
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $150, a cost curve of: C + 6q + 1,500, and a marginal cost of: MC = q² + 6. What is the firm's profit maximizing output level? units. (round your answer to two decimal places)
If the price was given what is the formula equation to figure the "profit-maximizing quantity of output" for a perfectly competitive firm?
If the short-run marginal and average variable cost curves for a competitive firm are given by SMC = 2 + 4Q and AVC = 2 + 3Q, how many units of output will it produce at a market price of 34? Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Q= At what level of fixed cost will this firm earn zero economic profit? $
A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market. Its total cost function is: TC = 900 - 20Q + Q2where TC is total cost and Q is output level.a. Find the firm’s average total cost function. b. Find the firm’s average variable cost function. c. Find the firm’s marginal cost function. d. Given the price is $100, what is the profit-maximizing output level? e. Given the price is $100, what is the profit level? f. Over time, is there going to be entry or exit in this competitive market? Why?
Lasguns are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=579+12q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=12+2q. What quantity does each firm produce in the long-run equilibrium?
Assume that the marginal revenue equals rising marginal cost at 100 units of output. At this output level, a profit-maximizing firm's total fixed cost is $700 and its average variable costs are $5. If the price of the product is $4 per unit and the firm produces the profit-maximizing level of output, How much profit firm will earn ?
2. Consider a market with 90 firms, each firm has a short-run total cost function as follows: TC(q) = 5q2, and a marginal cost function: MC(q) = 10q. Market demand is given by equation Qd(p) = 200 - p. a. What is the fixed cost? Solve the average variable cost function in the short-run. b. What is the supply function of each firm? c. Solve for the short-run equilibrium outcome: P*, Q* and q*. d. What is one firm's economic profit in this market? e. Consider a different market structure, where there is only one firm, interpreted as a monopolist, and then critically discuss the impact on equilibrium price and quantity. Discuss total surplus for these two types of market structures.
Consider the perfectly competitive market for copper. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the Industry, every firm in the industry is Identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. COSTS (Dollars per pound) PRICE (Dollars per por 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 100 10 50 0 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 The following diagram shows the market demand for copper. 0 Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the Industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plat the short-run industry supply curve when there are 30 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run Industry supply curve when there are 40 firms. MC D 0 5 10 ATC H AVC D 0 15…
