Is this a short-run or long-run situation? How do you know? c. Assuming that this firm's total cost curve is the same as all other producers, find the long-run price for this good.
A firm operates in a perfectly competitive industry with the following totoal production function: π (q) TR(q) - TC(q) = 20q - TC(q) where TC(q) = 50 + 4q + 2q2 a) find the firm's demand and supply functions b)Find the profit maximizing output. Is the firm making above normal profits? c)What is the long-run equilibrium?
Explain it early but correctly.
A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market. Its total cost function is: TC = 900 - 20Q + Q2where TC is total cost and Q is output level.a. Find the firm’s average total cost function. b. Find the firm’s average variable cost function. c. Find the firm’s marginal cost function. d. Given the price is $100, what is the profit-maximizing output level? e. Given the price is $100, what is the profit level? f. Over time, is there going to be entry or exit in this competitive market? Why?
If a firm in a perfectly competitive market faces an equilibrium price of $5, its marginal revenue A) will be greater than $5. B) will be any amount but $5. C) will also be $5. D) will be less than $5. E) maybe either greater or less than $5.
A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market where other firms charge a price of $90 per unit. The firm’s total costs are C(Q) = 50 + 10Q + 2Q2. [NOTE à MC(Q) = 10+4Q] a) How much output should the firm produce in the short run? b) What price should the firm charge in the short run? c) What are the firm’s short run profits?
In a perfectly competitive market, economic profit can be positive in the long run. MR = MC because of the entry/exit adjustment process in the long-run. In the long-run, firms shut down if the market price is lower than average total cost. in the short-run, firms can stay in business when they earn negative profit.
A firm producing ice pop in a perfectly competitive market with an equilibrium price of $1.50 has the following Quantity of ice Total Cost pops 0 $3 10 $8.00 20 20 $10.50 30 $15.50 59 40 $30.50 50 $50.50 60 60 $75.50 70 70 $105.50 What is this firm's marginal revenue from the 50th unit? MR(50) = $ What is this firm's marginal revenue from the 60th unit? MR(60) = $
5. A firm in a perfectly competitive market has the following total cost function: TC(q) = 100q -4q² + 0.2q³ + 450 For the representative firm, what is the smallest amount of output it will а. produce in the short run? b. If the market price is $115, how many q will the firm supply in the short run?
A firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a market price of $80, and has a total cost function: TC(Q) = Q3 – 28Q2 + 245Q + 1000. A. If the firm charges $85, how many units will they sell? B. If this firm produces Q = 15, is their profit maximized? C. If these are short run conditions and the firm is producing Q = 15, should the firm stay open or shut down temporarily? Clearly show or explain your reasoning.
