Suppose the government imposes a 4 dollar tax on each unit of good produced by each firm. Each firm's cost function is now C(g) = 200 +4g + q*/2, where the 4q reflects the tax payment. What is each firm's new supply function? Oq = p+ 40 Oq = p- 40 Og = p - 4 Oq = Suppose we are in a short-run equilibrium after the government tax and there are no firm entrants/exits. What is the new equilibrium price and market-level quantity? Note that the market-level demand curve is still the same, Qp = 2000 – 50p. Op = 16, q = 500 Op = 20, q = 800 Op = 22, q = 900 Op = 24, q = 1000 Suppose we are now in a new long-run equilibrium with the government taxes in place. Relative to the short-run equilibrium after the tax, which of the following statements is true? Oprice decreases, market-level quantity increases, and each firm's quantity increases Oprice increases, market-level quantity decreases, and each firm's quantity increases Onew firms enter the market
A firm produces two substitute goods . Their demand curves and total cost function are given below : P1 = 130 - 4Q1-Q 2 P2 = 160-2Q1-5Q2 TC = 2Q1 +2Q1Q2 + 4Q 2 ( a ) Determine the profit maximizing outputs of both goods . ( Restrict your answers to 2 decimal points ) ( b ) Find the price elasticity of demand . ( c ) Evaluate the second order " Hessian " required for profit to be maximized .

Suppose that the market demand curve for your product is given by: Q=$25-0.5P. Assume that the marginal cost and average total cost equal $34 for all levels of production. The marginal revenue curve would be given by the equation: MR= (Carefully enter your response as an algebraic expression, using the proper notation in the proper format.) The adjacent figure shows the demand curve (D) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) for your product. Using the line drawing tool, plot the marginal cost (MC) and the average total cost (ATC) curves. Using the point drawing tool, show the profit-maximizing price and quantity for your firm. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects. Economic profit earned by your firm will be equal to $. Price (dollars/unit) $60 $50- $40- $30- $20- $10- $0- 0 MR 12 Quantity (units) 16 D 20
The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…

Determining the Effect of Taxes on a Market Suppose all firms in a constant cost industry have identical costs of C(q)=5q²+6q+20. The market demand is Qo=256 – 2p. (a) Find the long-run equilibrium: Q*, q*, p*, and N*. (b) Suppose the government restricts the market to 41 firms. To do so, firms are required to get i permit to operate, but only 41 permits are issued in total. Find the equilibrium price and quantity. (c) Suppose instead of permits, the government simply charges all firms a fixed fee to operate of F=60. What is the resulting equilibrium price, quantity, and number of firms?
