Firm 1 has a cost function C₁ (91) = 40q1, and firm 2 has a cost functionC2 (92) = 5092. Answer the following questions.1) Assume the game lasts only one period. Compute the approximate equilibrium profits forboth firms.2) If firm 1 becomes the monopolist on this market, what quantities will firm 1 choose to produce?Denote this quantity as QM.3) One possible strategy is that each firm produces. This gives a more Pareto efficientoutcome. But given that firm 2 produces this quantity, how much does firm 1 want toproduce?4) Assume this game is infinitely repeated and the interest rate in this economy is r. For whatvalues of r the strategy in (3) is sustainable by using a "Grim Trigger" strategy?

This question deals with cost curves Keep in mind that the formula for a firm's cost function is: TC= FC + C(Q) TC → Total Costs: FC →Fixed Costs: C(Q) → Cost of production*Quantity produced → also known as Variable Costs Q1: Firms A and B are two firms supplying products in two separate differentiated goods markets. Equations (1) and (2) give the total cost functions of the two firms: - Firm A: TC = 2Q --- Equation (1) - Firm B: TC = 10 + 2Q --- Equation (2) Each firm has the ability to produce a maximum quantity of 80,000 units in ten batches of 8,000. The cost per unit in each firm is $2. Firm B has a fixed cost of $10. (a) Explain the relationship between the zero-profit curve and the marginal cost curve for the two firms using the quantity schedule of the two firms and the relevant plots of equations (1) and (2).
A manufacturer of fine pens produces in two plants. The total cost of producing in the first plant is given by TC1 = yi + 100. The total cost of producing in the second plant is given by TC2 + 200. 3 In these cost functions, y1 corresponds to the number of pens produced in the first plant, and y2 corresponds to the number of pens produced in the second plant. Suppose the firm's marginal cost is $256. If the firm is minimizing costs, the firm must be producing pens.
Keep in mind that the formula for a firm's cost function is: TC = FC+ C(Q) TC → Total Costs: FC → Fixed Costs: C(Q) → Cost of production*Quantity produced → also known as Variable Costs Q3: Firms A and B are two firms supplying products in two separate differentiated goods markets. Equations (1) and (2) give the total cost functions of the two firms: - Firm A: TC = 2Q --- Equation (1) - Firm B: TC = 10 + 2Q --- Equation (2) Each firm has the ability to produce a maximum quantity of 80,000 units in ten batches of 8,000. The cost of production per unit for each firm is $2. Firm B has a fixed cost of $10. (a) Use the information given about firm A and appropriate diagrams/figures (hint:think isoprofit curves, demand curves) to explain how the equilibrium will change for firm A if it's cost of production falls by $1 Assume demand curves to be linear

The market demand for a type of carpet has been estimated as P= 75 – 1.5Q Where P is price ($/yard) and Q is output per time period ( thousands of yards per month). The market supply is expressed as P= 25 + 0.5 Q. a typical competitive firm that markets this type of carpet has a marginal cost of production of MC= 2.5 + 10q Determine the market equilibrium price for this type of carpet. Also determine the production rate in the market, Determine how much the typical firm will produce per week at the equilibrium price. If all firms had the same cost structure, how many firms would compete at the equilibrium price computed in (a) above?

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.
Given the cost function underlying the figure, would two firms producing output Q (>0) always incur more total cost than one firm producing Q? 60- 55 Let q, be the output of Firm 1 and q, be the output of Firm 2. 50- According to the figure, the total cost of two firms producing Q (as a function of Q) is 45- 40- C(q+) + C(q2)=[]. 35- A 30- The total cost of one firm producing Q (as a function of Q) is E 25 C(Q) =]. く 20- 15- Thus, compared to one firm producing output Q, two firms producing output Q incur V total cost. 10- HAC MC 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Q, Units per day Enter your answer in each of the answer boxes.

Katie's Quilts is a small retailer of quilts and other bed linen products. Katie currently purchases quilts from a large producer for $100 each and sells them in her store at a price that does not change with the number of quilts that she sells.

Suppose a typical (representative) corn farm has a short run production technology which results in the outcome of U-shaped Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Cost (MC). Further, suppose this firm sells its product in a market where the price of the good is determined by the interaction of market Demand and Supply. Because an individual firm is very small compared to the rest of the market, we treat the market price as the price given to the firm, and the individual firm cannot impact that price. assume we are in the Short Run for this firm. In graphing, put $ on the vertical axis and lower-case q (firm output) on the horizontal axis. Start with the AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves . show shifts in any of the cost curves, reflecting the higher cost of land (keeping in mind that this higher cost is independent of how much or how little corn is actually produced) and labeling the changed cost curves with a subscript 1. On the graph with $ on the…
Continuing from the previous questions where you are a manager of a firm is the exclusive manufacturer of a unique pair of rainbow shorts with demand and cost functions that are Q=100−2P; C=40+2Q2. Now assume that the firm incurs a one-time cost of $10 for a zoning violation. What is the price that the manager should now charge to maximize profits? (Just give the number, no need to include "$")
