3. Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total Cost: TC = 50+ ¹/29² Marginal Cost: MC = q where q is an individual firm's quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand: QD = 120 - P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good.

10. In a competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $200 per unit. A firm that produces Q units of output in this market has a short-run Total Cost (TC) given by TC = 8000 + 40Q + Q². What is the marginal cost for this firm? How many units should the firm produce?
4) Explain why a firm should continue to operate in the short run so long as market price is greater the firm's average variable cost at the profit-maximizing level of output.
7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for ruthenium. Assume that no matter how many firms operate in the industry, every firm is identical and faces the same marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves plotted in the following graph.
