**Consider a market for a good with the following demand function:**\[ Q = 120 - 2p \]Where $ Q $ is the quantity demanded and $ p $ is the price. Suppose the cost of producing $ Q $ units of the good is given by:\[ C(Q) = \frac{1}{4}Q^2 \]**(a)** If this market is perfectly competitive, what will be the market price ($ p_c $) of the good and total output ($ Q_c $)?

Perfectly competitive market refers to a market structure where there are large number firms with…

THIS EXERCISE FOR MATHEMATICAL ECONOMIC : Question (1): Suppose the estimated quantity demand for potato chips is Q = 140 – 15p and the quantity supply function for potato chips is Q = 115 + 10p. Find the equilibrium price and quantity for the number of bags of potato chips. Suppose that the main costs of producing potato chips are labor and potatoes. On a per unit basis, the cost of producing and manufacturing a bag of potato chips rises by $1.50. The firms are citing higher labor costs and fewer potatoes are grown due to the poor climate. What will be the new equilibrium price and quantity? Whichever curve you think a shift will occur, derive the new function. Suppose that a health news piece has been published indicating the ill effects of consuming potato chips. The news has been published after the firms incurred the higher costs of production. Consumers are being advised to consume popcorn or pretzels instead of potato chips. How would that affect the market for potato…
Suppose that the market for dress shirts is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market.

3. Consider a firm that produces a single output Q using two inputs, q₁ and production technology is the Cobb-Douglas: Q = 9tq². 2 - Let pi be the price of q1, and p2 be the price of q2. Assume that the price of the output Q is 1. (b) Find the effect of an input price p2 change on the optimal quantity, q2, of the input good 2 using the implicit function theorem.
Question #2 Consider the following demand function for frozen dinners where QD is the quantity of frozen dinners demanded per week, P is the price per frozen dinner, PF is the price per fast food meal, Y is the average yearly consumer income, and A is the number of advertisements for frozen dinners. Demand Function for Frozen Dinners: QD = 1,000 – 10P + 20PF – 0.01Y + A Suppose that a frozen dinner sells for $4, a fast food meal sells for $6, average yearly consumer income is $50,000, and that there are 20 advertisements for frozen dinners. Calculate and interpret the income elasticity of demand. Calculate and interpret the cross-price elasticity of demand with respect to fast food meals.
Assume that the demand curve D(p) given below is the market demand for widgets: Q = D(p) = 1183-12p, p > 0 Let the market supply of widgets be given by: Q = S(p) = -5 + 10p, p > 0 where p is the price and Q is the quantity. The functions D(p) and S(p) give the number of widgets demanded and supplied at a given price. What is the equilibrium price? Please round your answer to the nearest hundredth. What is the equilibrium quantity? Please round your answer to the nearest integer. What is the total revenue at equilibrium? Please round your answer to the nearest integer

Find the price-demand equation for tickets to a particular zoo when the demand is 225 tickets per day at $15.00 per ticket, given that the marginal price-demand function, p′(x), for x number of tickets per day, is given as p′(x)=−0.015e−0.01x. If the zoo only sells 150 tickets per day, what should the price be? Do not round until the end. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth and do not include a dollar sign in your answer.
