Suppose that the quantity demanded for Windows 11 operating system is given by q = 320 − 2p, where p is the price of the Windows 11. Let us assume that the total cost of producing q units of Windows 11 is given by C(q) = 500 + 10q. a. Find marginal revenue, marginal cost, and average cost in terms of quantity q produced. Graphically illustrate the demand curve, marginal revenue curve, marginal cost curve, and average cost curve. b. What is the price that Microsoft charges for Windows 11? How many Windows 11 will Microsoft sell? How much profit it will make? Identify Microsoft’s profit maximizing price and quantity on your graph; and show the amount of profit that Microsoft will make. Please show all work and graphs, thank you!
The graph below shows a perfectly competitive firm in short run equilibrium, where the firm has chosen the output level maximizing its profit. Consider the level of profits being earned here, and what will happen over time. What will happen in the long run? Note that the horizontal demand curve, D1, is also equivalent to marginal revenue and price. Group of answer choices The market price will increase causing economic profits to increase Demand will increase causing economic profits to increase The market price will decrease until economic profit is zero
The graph below depicts the cost structure for a firm in a competitive market. Use the graph to answer the following questions. Figure 14-2 Price P₂ P₁ Q₁Q₂ MC AVC ATC Quantity Refer to Figure 14-2. When price falls from P3 to P₁, the firm finds that fixed cost is higher at a production level of Q₁ than it is at Q3. it should produce Q₁ units of output. it should produce Q3 units of output. it is unwilling to produce any output.
In the US cotton market, each farm having the cost function c(q)=0.5q^(2)+ 10 q+162 where q is the quantity of cotton in tons produced by each farm. The market demand curve is given by Q^(d)=10,400-50 p. Suppose the government gives each farm a subsidy of $8 per ton. Calculate the long-run market price assume the market is perfect competition. $20 $25 $30 $35 With all steps clearly
A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market where other firms charge a price of $90 per unit. The firm’s total costs are C(Q) = 50 + 10Q + 2Q2. [NOTE à MC(Q) = 10+4Q] a) How much output should the firm produce in the short run? b) What price should the firm charge in the short run? c) What are the firm’s short run profits?
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?
