8. Each firm belonging to a competitive industry has the following long-run cost function 9² q³ 2 16 C(q) = 10q + where q denotes the output of a representative firm. Firms can enter and exit the industry freely. The industry has constant costs: input prices do not change as industry output changes. The market demand facing the industry is given by Q = 21 - P where Q denotes industry output and P is the market price of output. (a) Derive the long-run market equilibrium price and quantity. (b) Suppose the government introduces a quota of 6 units on the industry. Free entry ensures that the market price does not change from part (a). Given this, calculate the deadweight loss from the quota assuming the most pessimistic scenario: out of the set of consumers with willingness- to-pay above the market price, those with the lowest willingness to pay obtain the object. (c) Suppose the agents who obtain the object in part (b) can resell. Specify the demand function and supply function in the resale market and calculate the equilibrium resale price. (d) Once resale takes place, what is the deadweight loss from the quota?

HELP PLEASE!!! There are two questions here. 1. Is the firm maximizing profit? 2. What quantity of output should the firm produce in the long run?
Market Representative Firm MC АТС $8 AVC A $6 MR = P %3D D1 20,000 100 125 Quantity (Q) Output (Q) The diagram above depicts overall market supply and demand on the left, and the cost curves for a representative firm supplying in that market on the right. When the market reaches its Long Run Equilibrium, we should expect the firm to produce and the equilibrium quantity in the market to be 125; less than 20,000 125; more than 20,000 100; less than 20,000 O 100; more than 20,000 Price
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $12 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curve at an output level of 1,800 units. If the firm produces 1,800 units, its average variable costs equal $7.00 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $1.00 per unit. What is the firm's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output level? What is the amount of its economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
Start from a market with perfect competition. For a representative producer, the long-term marginal cost is given by LMC=9Q2−20Q+50LMC=9Q2−20Q+50 and the long-term total cost function is LTC=3Q3−10Q2+50QLTC=3Q3−10Q2+50Q Assume that the price on the market right now is SEK 50. a) How much profit or loss does the producer make in the initial situation? b) Describe in detail what will happen in the market and why c) What will the equilibrium price be? d) how much will our producer produce at market equilibrium?
Consider a competitive constant-cost industry in which each firm's marginal and average costs are given by the formulas MC = 4q and AC = 2q + 50/q, where q represents the quantity supplied by the firm. i) Determine the quantity supplied by each firm in long-run equilibrium, and determine the firms' break-even price.
I need solution of a,b,c
Please plot any curves needed. Thank you
1. Assume a perfectly competitive market is represented by the functions Qd=-4p+ 400 and Qs=p. If a firm produces in this market subject to a total cost function of = TC 2Q2+25Q+ 100 determine the amount of revenue, the total cost, profit this firm will make. Note: this is not a realistic TC function, it is used for easy math purposes only)
A firm in a perfectly competitive market has a fixed cost of $5 and a MC function of 9X, where X is the firm's output choice, for X = 0,1,2,3 and 4 units. The current market price of X is P = $30. In this case, the optimal X* for the firm is ______ units, and at this output, the firm faces a total cost of _____. Group of answer choices 3; $59 3; $95 4; $59 4; $95
11.6 #2. PLEASE ANSWER LETTERS A, B, C, PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK. DO NOT SKIP ANY LETTERS, EVERYTHING MUST BE ANSWERED. THANK YOU
Suppose there is a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identical with identical cost curves. Furthermore, suppose that a representative firm's total cost is given by the equation TC = 100+ q² + 2q where q is the quantity of output produced by the firm. You also know that the market demand for this product is given by the equation P= 1000 - 2Q where Q is the market quantity. In addition you are told that the market supply curve is given by the equation P = 100+ Q. What is the firm's profit maximizing level of production? (Note: 1. If your answer is 100, please key in 100. There is no need to key in 100.0 or 100.00. 2. Please key in a number directly. Please do not key in "unit")
The market determined price in a perfectly competitive industry is P = Rs. 10. Suppose that the total cost equation of an individual firm in the industry is given by the expressionTC 1000+2Q+0.01Q2 What is the firm’s profit-maximizing output level and profit? Is this profit normal profit or supper normal profit? Justify your answer
