2. Consider an industry with two firms 1 and 2, each having marginal cost equal tozero. The industry demand isP(Y) = 60 – Y,where Y = y, + y2 is total output.a. What are the competitive equilibrium output and price of the market?b. Draw the demand schedule given output equals to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, andindicate the corresponding profits. What are the monopolistic output and priceif there is only one firm? If there are two firms who collude with each other todecide their quantities, what are the output quantities of two firms?c. If the two firms decide their quantities independently and simultaneously, usegame theory to show if they have incentive to increase their quantities by 5units than the above level. If so, do they have incentive to increase theirquantities by 5 units further?

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?
Consider the market for tilapia. Ripple Rock Fish Farms, a small family fishery in Ohio, and The Fishin’ Company, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of tilapia. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the accompanying graph. a. Suppose the market price of tilapia is $2.50 per pound. Move point A to Ripple Rock’s quantity sold. Move point B to The Fishin’ Company’s quantity sold. b. How many pounds of tilapia do they collectively supply?________thousand pounds c. To achieve efficient production, The Fishin’ Company should supply _____ ("more", or "less", or "the same") it is currently producing, and Ripple Rock should supply __________ ("more", or "less", or "the same") it is currently producing.
1. Two firms produce luxury sheepskin auto seat covers, Western Where (WW) and B.B.B. Sheep (BBBS). Each firm has a cost function given by C(q) = 30q+1.5q² 2 The market demand for these seat covers is represented by the inverse demand equation where Q=91 + 92, total output. Note: firms operate independently, and MC = P = 300-3Q Use MC = 30+ 3q₁ and MC =30+ 3q2 for when the 30+3() for when they collude. a. If each firm acts to maximize its profits, taking its rival's output as given (i.e., the firms behave as Cournot oligopolists), what will be the equilibrium quantities selected by each firm? What is total output, and what is the market price? What are the profits for each firm? b. It occurs to the managers of WW and BBBS that they could do a lot better by colluding. If the two firms collude, what will be the profit-maximizing choice of output? The industry price? The output and the profit for each firm in this case? c. The managers of these firms realize that explicit agreements to…
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. Solve for the short-run equilibrium outcome: P*, Q* and q*. b. What is one firm's economic profit in this market? c. 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.
Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitivemarket. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=396+17q+q^2 and MarginalCost function is MC=17+2q. Market demand is Q=489-P. If the market price is $22, what are the profits earned by each firm in theshort-run?
"A profit maximizing firm seeks to produce at an output where its marginal revenue is equal to its marginal costs." Agree or disagree with this statement.

If each of 100 firms in a competitive industry has the following Marginal Cost function (i.e., firm supply function), P = 10 +100Qi What is the short-run industry supply function? (where lowercase subscript "i" is for the firm and uppercase "I" is for the Industry) P = 100 +100QI P = 10 +100QI P = 10 +10QI P = 10 +QI
