The next three problems are from Unit 10. You are provided with a pair of demand and cost functions. P=20,000-15.60 TC = 400,000 + 4640 Q + 100 Use the above functions and derive the maximum profits for the firm: Optimal Q = Optimal P = Optimal TR = Optimal profits - =
Problem 2. Suppose the market demand and inverse-demand for pizza in East Lansing is given by: Demand: Qd 1100-5P 220-2₁ Inverse-Demand: P = 220- Currently, there are 100 pizza stores in the East Lansing area that produce identical pizzas and as such the market is perfectly competitive. Suppose each pizza store has identical cost function given by: C(q) = 100 +g+q², fixed-cost I MC(q)=1+2q where C(q) is the total cost, and MC(q) is the marginal cost function. As shown in the total cost function, each pizza store incurs a $100 fixed cost which is a sunk-cost in the short-run but avoidable in the long-run. Recall that the market supply is the sum of individual firm's supply functions, and that individual's (inverse) supply curve is given by its marginal cost function i.e. Individual firm's inverse-supply: P= mc(q) = 1 + 2q Individual firm's supply: 9,= 0.5P - 0.5 Market Supply: 2, 100q, = 50P - 50 (a) What is the short-run equilibrium market price/quantity of pizza in East Lansing?

Consider a competitive firm with total costs given by T C(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2. The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Graph the AT C, AV C, MC, and MR curves in a single graph, and indicate the profit maximizing level of output. If there are profits, shade the region corresponding to profit and label it. (b) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, what happens to the profit maximizing level of output, T R, T C, and π? (c) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, should the firm continue to operate in the short-run? What about the long-run?

Problem 3 A furniture maker builds and sells wooden benches. The demand function for the benches is given by the function p = 1600 -x where p is the price per bench and x is the number of benches sold. The furniture maker also knows that the fixed costs for the business are $20,000 and each bench costs $75 to make. Part a) Create a function that represents revenue as a function of the number of benches produced and create a function that represents the cost as a function of the number of benches produced. Make sure to label your input and output variables. Part b) How many benches should be produced and sold in order to maximize revenue? What price should the furniture maker sell them? (Make sure to show your work) Part c) How many benches should be produced and sold in order to maximize profit? What is the maximum profit? (Make sure to show your work)
