The table below shows the average cost (AC) for a purely competitive market. The average revenue (AR) is constant at RM5 per unit and the firm’s total fixed cost (TFC) is RM4. If the average revenue falls to RM3 per unit, calculate the firm’s new profit or loss at the equilibrium. Based on your answer, should the firm continue or stop the production? Justify. Output (Units) Total Revenue (RM) Average Cost (RM) Total Cost (RM) Marginal Cost (RM) Marginal Revenue (RM) 1 8.0 2 5.5 3 4.0 4 3.5 5 3.8 6 4.5 7 6.0
***If the demand function is: P+ 2Q = 50 The fixed cost is 30, the variable cost per unit is: Q +3 Find the value of Q that break even O a. Q=0.67, Q=15 O b. Q=0.55, Q=13 Oc. Q=0.26, Q=15 O d. Q=0.67, Q=19 e. None of the above
Consider a competitive market where there are two types of firms, Type A and Type B, with total cost functions TC^(q) =1+2q + q² TC (g) = 6+2q + 3q? (a) Derive the short-run supply curve for each firm type (b) What is the short-run market supply, if there are 10 Type A firms, and 6 Type B firms? (c) What is total quantity produced when p=5? (d) How does your answer at (c) change if we consider long run supply rather than short run? Here, assume again that p=5 and that there are 10 Type A firms and 6 Type B firms.
Flora sells flowers in a perfectly competitive market. These cost functions represent her daily cost functions. TC = 100 + 0.50 + .2502 MC = 0.5 + 0.50 The current price is $9.50 Determine the profit/loss for Flora. Round to the penny. Suppose this is Flora's daily cost functions. This (profit/loss) value is expected to be constant for the next two weeks.What advice you would give her for these next two weeks related to running her business? Explain why.
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?
Consider a company that operates in a competitive market, with a typical set of cost curves (Marginal Cost, Average Variable Cost, Average Fixed Cost and Average Cost with typical formats of Microeconomics theory). Consider further that Marginal Costs coincide with Average Total Costs when the firm's output is 200 units of output, at a market price of 50. If market prices fall to 40, the company will produce 180 units of product to maximize its profit. If at this point the Average Fixed Costs per unit of output equals 27 per unit of output, what are your recommendations for this company in the short term? And in the long run?
Consider a perfectly competitive market in which each firm's short-run total cost function is C= 25+ 11q+q 2, where q is the number of units of output produced. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 11+2q. In the short run each fim is willing to supply a positive amount of output at any price above $____. (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places.)
Suppose a typical (representative) corn farm has a short run production technology which results in the outcome of U-shaped Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Cost (MC). Further, suppose this firm sells its product in a market where the price of the good is determined by the interaction of market Demand and Supply. Because an individual firm is very small compared to the rest of the market, we treat the market price as the price given to the firm, and the individual firm cannot impact that price. assume we are in the Short Run for this firm. In graphing, put $ on the vertical axis and lower-case q (firm output) on the horizontal axis. Start with the AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves . show shifts in any of the cost curves, reflecting the higher cost of land (keeping in mind that this higher cost is independent of how much or how little corn is actually produced) and labeling the changed cost curves with a subscript 1. On the graph with $ on the…
A market has N=35 firms each with identical costs C(q)=1q2+70. Demand is QD=200-5p. What will be the short-run equilibrium price? Round to the nearest cent (0.01)
A firm faces the demand curve: P = 3,591 - 19Q. What is the firm's revenue maximizing price? Enter as a value (round to two decimal places if necessary).
10. Given a qmes = 100 and a minimum long-run average total cost of $2. (a) If the quantity demanded at p = $2 is 10, 000. How many firms can enter the market and at least break-even? (b) If technology gets better and reduces the minimum long-run average total cost of $1 and increases qmes = 9,000. At p = $1 the quantity demanded is 14, 000. How many firms || can enter the market and at least break-even? What market structure will describe this market better, perfect competition or monopoly?
1) Suppose you have a job analyzing a perfectly competitive market. The aggregate demand is D Q (p)= 72- 3 And the cost function for the (identical) firms is C(g)= 6q2+54 (a) Consider first a short scenario, and setup and solve the profit maximization problem over quantity. Write the quantity an individual firm will produce as a function of the sale price. (b) Solve for the price, quantity, and profits for each individual firm and then also for aggregate quantity in equilibrium when the number of firms is fixed at N = 32 (show your work) (c) Will these firms shutdown in the short run? Explain. (d) Imagine now that that we are in the long run. What will be the equilibrium in this market if the free entry assumption holds? Solve for the equilibrium price, individual quantity, Aggregate quantity, number of firms, and individual firm profit. (e) Explain why N is different from the number of firms in the long run.
