Suppose that all firms in a constant-cost industry have the following long-run cost curve:c(q) = 4q2 + 100q + 100The demand in this market is given by QD = 1280 - 2p. Suppose the number of firms in the market is restricted to 80a. Derive the supply curve with this restriction. Find the market equilibrium price and quantity with the restriction.b. If firms are allowed to buy and sell these permits in an open market, what will be the rental price of permits? Will firm’s that own permits make profit? Briefly explain.c. How much deadweight loss is generated by the permit system? Provide a graph showing the region of this deadweight loss.d. Suppose the government abandons the permit system and simply imposes a fixed fee on firms in the market. If the fee is set equal to the permit price you found in c., what will be the equilibrium price, quantity, number of firms and deadweight loss?
Suppose the daily demand function for pizza in St. Catharines is Qd = 1525 – 5P. For one pizza store, the variable cost of making q pizzas per day is C(q) = 3q+0.01q^2, there is a $100 fixed cost, and the marginal cost is MC = 3 + 0.02q. There is free entry in the long run. (a) What is the long-run market equilibrium in this market? Assume in the short run, the number of firms is fixed (so that neither entry or exit is possible) and fixed costs are sunk. Also assume there is free entry in the long run. Consider the following scenarios: (b) The fixed costs decrease to $81. (c) The marginal costs rise by $5 per pizza. (d) The market demand decreases to Qd = 1325 – 5P %3D %3D (e) The marginal cost decrease by $1 per pizza and the fixed cost decreased to 81 at the same time For each scenario, calculate the new short-run market equilibrium, the profit of the firms, the new long-run market equilibrium (i.e., the equilibrium price and quantity, and the number of firms in the equilibrium), and…
On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 6, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.
In a market, in the long run (free entry/exit), firms share a production function which results in costs following C(q)=0.1q3- 4q2 + 60q , where is the quantity produced by each firm Given a market demand of QD(P)=1,500 - 10P A) What is the equilibrium price? B) What is the market quantity supplied/demanded? C) How many firms will supply in this market, and how many units would each firm supply?

Can you show how Qsc is = 2Pc? Which is the answer for this.
3) A competitive firm's cost of producing q units of output is C = 18 + 4q + q2 Its corresponding marginal cost is MC = 2q + 4 The firm faces a market price Create a spreadsheet with 1, 2, ..., ., 15, where the columns are q, R, C, VC, AVC, MC, and profit. Determine the profit - maximizing output for the firm and the corresponding profit at p $24. Should the firm produce this level of output, or should it shut down? Explain briefly. ( =
2. Consider a competitive market where there are two types of firms, Type A and Type B, with total cost functions TC(q) = 2+4q+q² TCB (q) = 8+4q+6q² (a) Derive the short-run supply curve for each firm type (b) What is the short-run market supply, if there are 6 Type A firms, and 12 Type B firms? What is total quantity produced when p=10? (d) How does your answer at (c) change if we consider long run supply rather than short run? Here, assume again that p=10 and that there are 6 Type A firms and 12 Type B firms.
An industry has the following cost function: C(X, Y ) = 1500+20X +20Y . Market demands for the 2 goods are given by PX =80−X, and PY =140−2Y Suppose the government wished to use two part tariffs in these markets, and suppose further that two part tariffs are feasible. Imagine that there are 10 consumer in each market. Solve for a set of two part tariffs (one for each martket) that pay the firm zero profits in total, yet achieves efficiency.

Window cleaning is a perfectly competitive market in Boston. The daily market demand for window cleaning in Boston is Q(P) = 360 ‒ 4P, where Q represents the daily number of houses served and P is the price per house; and (2) the current market price per house served is 30. Each window-cleaning firm faces a daily total cost of TC(q) 72+ 1/2 q2, where q represents the number of houses served per day. What is the current daily profit for each window-cleaning firm?
