A microbrewery operates next to the Bushville Lake and uses water from the lake during production. The marginal cost of beer production is: MC = 8 + 2Q where Q is the quantity of beer produced (keg). The brewery sells its output at a market price of $40/keg. Because the industry is perfectly competitive, the brewery’s action does not affect the market price. The Bushville Lake is also used for kayaking and recreational fishing, but pollution from the brewery reduces the quantity of fish available and makes the lake very unpleasant. Each keg of beer produced emits a pound of pollutants that causes a loss of recreation opportunities worth $3. a) How much beer will be produced? b) What is the efficient level of beer production? If the government used a Pigouvian tax to achieve this goal, what would the tax be?
The production manager of a clothing manufacturer estimates that the daily total cost of producing men's suits is given by the equation: TC = 2,000+ 396Q + 0.8Q² The market price of suits is $300. Should the firm shut down? Select one: O No O Yes
In a competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $100 per unit. A firm that produces Q units of output in this market has a short-run Total Cost (TC) given by ?? = 1000 + 20? + 2?2. What is the marginal cost for this firm? How many units should the firm produce?
A competitive firm's total cost is TC(Q)=2Q2+3Q+34 when the output level is Q. Accordingly, its marginal cost is MC(Q)=2*2*Q+3. The market price is P=72. You are told that the firm will not shut down in the short run. Please find the revenue of the firm at its optimal output level.
A firm operates two plants. The total cost schedules for the respective plants are TC1 = 5*Q1 + .1*Q12 and TC2= 2*Q2 + .1*Q22. The firm’s demand schedule is Q = 160 – 10*P. What is the profit maximizing output for the firm?
Question 19 3.33 pts A firm faces the following demand function for its product: Q = 25 - 2P1 + 0.5P2. If this firm has marginal costs equal to 3; what price should this firm set? Round your answer to two decimal places.
Suppose there is a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identical with identical cost curves. Furthermore, suppose that a representative firm's total cost is given by the equation TC = 100+ q² + q where q is the quantity of output produced by the firm. You also know that the market demand for this product is given by the equation P = 1000 - 2Q where Q is the market quantity. In addition you are told that the market supply curve is given by the equation P = 100+ Q. What is the equilibrium price in this market given this information? a) What is the equilibrium price in this market given this information b) What is the firm's profit-maximizing level of production?
A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market where other firms charge a price of $110 per unit. The firm estimates its total costs as C(Q) = 70 + 14Q + 2Q2 What are the firm’s short-run profits? What adjustments should be anticipated in the long run? Given these adjustments, calculate the new optimal quantity and price.
PQR Ltd operates in a perfectly competitive market. The following equations were developed for the company to assist in its analysis of demand and supply conditions in the market.

(f) Calculate the price at which there is a surplus of 40 units.
