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 the market for cat food is perfectly competitive, with each firm having the total cost function TC (Q) = 36Q -Q2 +³, where Q is the firm's output of cat food in tens of 100 pounds. The associated average cost and marginal cost functions are AC(Q) = 36 –Q + m 0? and MC(Q) = 36 –Q +Q?. Total demand in the market is given by D(P) = 100 100 2400 – 40P, where P is the price of ten pounds of cat food. Find the long run competitive equilibrium in the cat food market, i.e. the equilibrium price, quantity supplied by each firm and number of firms operating in the market.

This question deals with cost curves Keep in mind that the formula for a firm's cost function is: TC= FC + C(Q) TC → Total Costs: FC →Fixed Costs: C(Q) → Cost of production*Quantity produced → also known as Variable Costs Q1: Firms A and B are two firms supplying products in two separate differentiated goods markets. Equations (1) and (2) give the total cost functions of the two firms: - Firm A: TC = 2Q --- Equation (1) - Firm B: TC = 10 + 2Q --- Equation (2) Each firm has the ability to produce a maximum quantity of 80,000 units in ten batches of 8,000. The cost per unit in each firm is $2. Firm B has a fixed cost of $10. (a) Explain the relationship between the zero-profit curve and the marginal cost curve for the two firms using the quantity schedule of the two firms and the relevant plots of equations (1) and (2).
Suppose a firm engaged in the illegal copying of DVD’s has a daily short run total cost function given by: STC = (q^2)+25 If pirated DVD’s sell for $20, how many will the firm copy each day? What will its profits be? What is the firm’s short run producer surplus at P=20? Develop a general expression for this firm’s producer surplus as a function of the price of pirated DVD’s.
A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.

(a) Use the information given about firm A and appropriate diagrams/figures (hint:think isoprofit curves, demand curves) to explain how the equilibrium will change for firm A if it's cost of production falls by $1 Assume demand curves to be linear
On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.
