Suppose you are given the following information about a particular industry:

QD = 6500 – 100P         Market Demand

QS = 1200P                  Market Supply

TC(q) = 722 + q2/200    Individual firm’s total cost function

MC(q) = q/100             Individual firm’s marginal cost function

 

Assume that all firms are identical and that the market is characterized by perfect competition.

  1. Find an individual firm’s supply curve.
  2. How many firms are there currently in the market?
  3. Find the equilibrium price and equilibrium market quantity.
  4. How much is output supplied by each firm, and how much profit does each firm make in the short run?
  5. Would you expect to see entry into or exit from the industry in the long run? Explain.
  6. What effect will entry or exit have on the market equilibrium? Find the long-run equilibrium price, the number of firms, and the amount of output each firm produces in the long run.
