Assume that a competitive firm has the total cost function: TC=1q3−40q2+820q+1900TC=1q3-40q2+820q+1900 Suppose the price of the firm's output (sold in integer units) is $650 per unit. Using tables (but not calculus) to find a solution, what is the total profit at the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer.
Can you show how Qsc is = 2Pc? Which is the answer for this.
There are only two driveway paving companies in a small town, Asphalt, Inc. and Blacktop Bros. The inverse demand curve for paving services is ?= 2040 ―20? where quantity is measured in pave jobs per month and price is measured in dollars per job. Assume Asphalt, Inc. has a marginal cost of $100 per driveway and Blacktop Bros. has a marginal cost of $150. Answer the following questions: Determine each firm’s reaction curve and graph it. How many paving jobs will each firm produce in Cournot equilibrium? What will the market price of a pave job be? How much profit does each firm earn?
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. Katie is considering vertically integrating by making her own quilts. If the fixed cost of vertically integrating is $25,000 and she can produce quilts at Homework: Homework 7 (Lecture 6) Save Score: 0 of 1 pt 6 of 10 (8 complete) HW Score: 80%, 8 of 10 pts Text Question 4.2 Ques $50 per quilt, her total cost of producing quilts, q, herself is C=25,000+50q. How many quilts does Katie need to sell for vertical integration to be a profitable decision? For vertical integration to be profitable, Katie must sell at least nothing quilts. (Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number.)
consider a market with inverse demand P(Q) = 10 − Q and two firms with cost curves C1(q1) = 2q1 and C2(q2) = 2q2 (that is, they have the same marginal costs and no fixed costs). They compete by choosing quantities. Suppose that Firm 1 chooses quantity first and is able to credibly commit to this choice. Then firm 2 choose its quantity after observing firm 1’s quantity. In the SPNE of this game, what is the price faced by consumers?- p = 3- p = 4- p = 5- p = 6- p = 7
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 $10 for a zoning violation. What is the price that the manager should now charge to maximize profits? (Just give the number, no need to include "$")
Suppose that demand for a particular style of handmade Rwandan baskets is Qd = 1700 – 10P. Each basket maker has the following cost function: TCi = 1000 + 50 qi + .1 qi^2. Given this information, find the market outcomes under the various market structures below Perfect competition, long-run. Given the same cost functions above, find the long-run equilibrium quantity per firm, the LR market price, market quantity and equilibrium number of firms. What is the profit or loss per firm? What is MCi and ATCi?
choose the right answer: a) q=4, profit=4 b) q=6, profit=2 c) q=3, profit=6 d) q=2,profit=4.
A firm is a perfectly competitive producer and sells two goods X and Y, has demand function 0.1Px – 1.2 + 0.2X = 0 and 10P, – 320+40Y = 0 respectively. The total cost of producing these goods is given by : TC = x2 – 2XY – Y Find the maximum profit and the values of Q1 and Q2 at which this is achieved.
Suppose that the market inverse demand function is p(yT)=80-yT and the firm's total cost functions are C1(y1)=y21 and C2 (Y2)=10y2+y22. What is firm 1's best response to y2?
