As in the previous problem, suppose Gi-hun's cost function is C(Q) = 32+2Q?, and that Gi-hun is one of many chauffeurs with identical costs in a competitive industry. Suppose the market demand curve for rides is Qd=1000-P. %3| a. Find the individual seller's supply curve. b. In long-run equilibrium, what must each seller's profits be? Find the long-run equilibrium price that satisfies this profit condition. c. In long-run equilibrium, what is the market quantity, and what is the quantity supplied by an individual seller? d. How many sellers will be in the market in long-run equilibrium? Given this number and your answer from part (a), find the market supply curve.

***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.
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?
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?
