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.
An incumbent firm has a cost function C = 100 + 1.5 q2, so its MC = 3 q. An upstart firm has entered the market with a cost function C = 100 + 75 q. Suppose the incumbent firm sets a price of 74 and meets all demand at that price. Market demand is given by P = 100 - Q. Does the incumbent’s behavior violate the Areeda-Turner rule?
A food manufacturer is trying to maximize profit by selling wheat-based cereal (C) and wheat bread(B) with raw wheat (W). The production functions are: Cereal: Bread: Constraint: C=36Wc-1.5Wc² B = 65WB - 2WB² Wc+WB = 5,195 Profit is $1.00 per box of cereal and $0.50 per pack of wheat bread. There are 5,195 units of raw wheat available. How much wheat should go to the cereal (WC)? Enter as a value. ROUND TO THE NEAREST WHOLE NUMBER.
The production function of a competitive firm is L = q - q2 + q3, where L is the only input of the firm and q is the output. And the input price is 1. Suppose that output price is Rs.1. What will the firm do if levy of Rs 0.5 is imposed on the firm? Suppose a profit tax of 25 percent is imposed on the firm. How much tax will the firm pay if output price is Rs. 1?
Producer surplus will be the same in a monopoly and in a competitive market if aggregate demand and cost functions are identical in both markets. (a) True. (b) False.

Consider a competitive industry with a perfectly elastic supply curve given by p = 20. The demand curve facing this industry is p(q) = 60-q. Find the per-unit tax that will maximize tax revenue to the government.
