what is the market equilibrium point (in ordered pair)
New Zealand possums produce the highest quality fur, due to the large pelts per body size. Demand for New Zealand possums’ products has risen dramatically. This is partly a result of the conservation benefits of harvesting New Zealand possums. This has made the product seem more environment friendly than other fur products and boosted sales to concerned consumers. Assume that the possums market satisfies all the attributes of a competitive market. Further assume that high grade possum furs are the most expensive input into the possum fur production function. 1. Use a graph of the market for possum fur to demonstrate the effect of its environmentally friendly status on the market equilibrium. 2. Graph the reaction of an individual incumbent firm to the increase in market demand. In your graph, identify the firm’s revenue and cost structures. 3. What would you predict would happen to long-run industry supply if the price of possum fur increased as possum culling increased their…
2. Consider a competitive market where there are two types of firms, Type A and Type B, with total cost functions TC(q) = 2+4q+q² TCB (q) = 8+4q+6q² (a) Derive the short-run supply curve for each firm type (b) What is the short-run market supply, if there are 6 Type A firms, and 12 Type B firms? What is total quantity produced when p=10? (d) How does your answer at (c) change if we consider long run supply rather than short run? Here, assume again that p=10 and that there are 6 Type A firms and 12 Type B firms.
The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. We have two types of consumers in the market- Regular and Occasional readers. Each Regular reader's demand curve is given by P=74-2Q. Each Occasional reader's demand curve is given by Q=94-6P Suppose there is only 1 reader of each type. What is market demand when market price is $59? Enter a number only. Remember, fractions of goods are possible.
Assume a perfectly competitive market. Draw the average total cost, average variable cost,marginal cost, and marginal revenue curves for a good. Determine the profit-maximizing levelof output given that the price of the good is above the minimum average variable cost butbelow the minimum average total cost. Is the profit at the chosen price point positive,zero, 0r negative? Shade the area representing profit. Assume a monopoly market. Draw the average total cost, marginal cost, marginal revenue,and demand curves for a good. At what price will the monopolist sell? What is theprofit-maximizing level of output at this price? Shade the area representing profit.
Pete sells two different soups (chicken soup and beef soup) in two competitive markets. Suppose the firm's cost function is given by C = ½ q1^2 + ¼ q2^2 - 1/6 (q1)(q2) where q1 is the output of chicken soup and q2 is the output of beef soup. The price of beef soup is $3. a. Find the firm's supply curve for chicken soup. b. Find how the firm's supply of beef soup varies with the price of chicken soup Show work and explain
Consider a competitive market for red lentils with 100 identical farmers in Horsham Victoria, a competitive market price of $5 and the following MC for each farmer: MC = $0.05Q Also consider the following market demand function: QD a) Calculate the optimal level of production (in tonnes) for each farmer (show workings) = = 1000 - 40P b) Assuming 100 lentil farmers of equal size how many tonnes of lentils in total will be supplied in the entire market? (show all workings) c) Consider that the government now imposes a 25% tax on producers, calculate i) the new equilibrium level of output for each firm (hint - think about how this affects each farmer's marginal cost), and ii) new total supply in the entire market (show all workings)

The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. Suppose we have identical book readers, and each individual book reader's demand for paperback novels is given by P=130-7Q. We have 160 book readers in the market. What is the market quantity demanded when the price of a paperback novel is $21. Enter a number only. Remember, fractions of goods are possible.
