Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity. If the shop is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. If the shop is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing its loss.

a) Find the long run equilibrium price. Find the minimum efficient scale of the typical firm. Find the typical firm’s average cost when it operates at minimum efficient scale. In the long run, what price will prevail in this market? In words, clearly justify your answer. Suppose demand is QD = 3,200 – 100P. (b) Explain why you expect the number of firms in this market to be fifty-five. In this market, what is the short run supply function of the typical firm? What is the short run market supply function? Suppose the local government introduced a $90 licensing fee that raised the fixed cost from $160 to $250. c) Would the introduction of the licensing fee affect the short run equilibrium price or quantity? Justify your answer? Clearly explain why you expect that in the long run fewer larger firms will operate in this market. After the introduction of the licensing fee, what is the new long run equilibrium price? How many firms will survive in this market?

Assume a firm is producing at a quantity where marginal cost is higher than marginal revenue. Which of the following is true? 1) To maximize profit. the firm should produce a lower quantity. 2) To maximize profit, the firm should produce a higher quantity. 3) The firm is currently maximizing profit. 4) To maximize profit, the firm should double production.

A company produces a special new type of TV. The company has fixed costs of $468,000, and it costs $1400 to produce each TV. The company projects that if it charges a price of $2400 for the TV, it will be able to sell 750 TVs. If the company wants to sell 800 TVs, however, it must lower the price to $2100. Assume a linear demand. What price should the company charge to earn a profit of $742,000?
