A highly competitive market is made up of 100 identical firms. Each firm has a short-run marginal cost function as follows: MC = 10 + q, where q represents units of output per unit of time. The firm's average variable cost curve intersects the marginal cost at a vertical distance of 10 above the horizontal axis. Given the market short-run supply curve: MC= aQ + b where Q is market output Solve for a: __1__ Solve for b: __2__ What is the price that would make 500 units forthcoming per time period? __3__
Could you solve the 4. question as follows shut down and operate TR= TFC= TVC= TC = PROFİT= The demand curve and supply curve for a perfectly competitive market are: Q = 500 – 5P and Q = 320 + P. The short run cost function of a representative firm in this market is TC = 150 + 3q2. According to these information Calculate the equilibrium price and quantity for this market. Calculate the profit maximizing output of this representative firm. Calculate the profit of this firm. Analyze this firm’s position in terms of shut down condition. Should this firm operate or shut-down in the short run. If all firms had the same cost structure, how many firms would compete at the equilibrium price computed in (a) above?
Question: At a price of $16 per CD, a firm sells 70 cds. If the slope of the demand curve is -$0.10, marginal revenue for the 71st CD is $ Marginal revenue It is the change in revenue due to change in output. The marginal revenue curve is horizontal for a perfectly competitive firm. It is downward sloping and less than average revenue curve in imperfect competition.
Suppose a competitive firm has the following cost: output(units): 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Total cost: $50 $52 $56 $62 $70 $80 $92 $106 $122 $140 3. If the market price dropped to $8, how much should this profit maximizing firm produce?
20) What will a firm in a perfectly competitive industry do in the short-run if the price of its product decreases below the firm's average variable costs but still above average total costs? A) Do nothing B) Increase production C) Decrease production D) Shut down
In a perfectly competitive market, suppose that there are 1280 firms. Market demand is given by Q-1600-4P. All fixed costs are sunk and Total fixed cost is $120 and average variable cost is 160q. Find the equilibrium market price and market output, respectively: $160, 960 $300, 400 $100, 1200 $200, 800
Questión 7 óf 20 The graph presents the costs and revenue for a purely competitive firm, where the market price is equal to $300 per unit of output. This firm has a fixed cost equal to $3,600.

Round your answer to the nearest positive Unit of output or negative whole number. maximum level of profits: $ 3. 2.
Question 23 A competitive firm has a total cost function in dollars of the form C(q)= 100–4q + q^2, where q is output. Suppose the market price is $10 per unit of output. What is the firm’s short run point elasticity of supply? a) 20/7 b) 5/7 c) 10/7 d) 0.5 e) 2
Suppose that a competitive industry is buying and selling at an equilibrium price of $12. Now suppose that demand increases. If the market is an increasing cost industry, which of the following would we expect to happen in the long run? (select all that apply) The equilibrium price will be lower than $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be at the minimum firm's LAC 0 The equilibrium price will stay at $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be higher than $12 in the long run
In the above figure, if the price is $16 per unit, how many units will a profit maximizing perfectly competitive firm produce?
