Fruit market (a perfectly competitive market), the industry demand and supply of tomato (a homogenous product) is given by the following equations respectively: Qd = 50 − P Qs = 1 + 3P The typical firm’s total cost is given by the following equation: TC = 10 + 0.5Q2 + 5Q What is the profit maximizing level of output for the firm? How much profit is this firm earning? Show it graphically Is it short run or long run? Explain!
A) Suppose that Quinoa is produced with labor (L) and land (K). The markets for labor, land, and quinoaare all perfectly competitive, but the supply of labor and land are both upward sloping (i.e. not perfectlyelastic). As a result, the long-run industry supply curve for quinoa is upward sloping.i) Is producer surplus positive or zero in the long-run?ii) If all firms producing quinoa have identical production technology, do quinoa producers earn aprofit in the long-run?iii) In the long-run, where does producer surplus go in the quinoa market? B) Suppose the market for shoelaces is perfectly competitive and all firms have identical productiontechnology. If short-run profits for shoelace manufacturers are positive, what will happen to the supplyof shoelaces in the long-run? The price of shoelaces?
7. A honey farm is located next to an apple orchard and each acts as a competitive firm. Let the number of apples produced be measured by A and the amount of honey produced by H. The cost functions of the two firms are CH (H) = H²/100 and C₁(A)=4-H. The price of honey is £2 and the price of apples is £3. 100 a. If the firms operate independently, what is the equilibrium number of apples and amount of honey produced? Are these amounts the Pareto-efficient? Explain. b. Suppose the two firms merge. What is the profit maximising amount of apples and honey that the merged firm produce? Explain. c. What is the socially optimum amount of honey and apples? Discuss methods to induce the independent firms to produce the socially optimal number of apples and amount of honey. Explain.
Consider the weekly market for gyros in a popular neighborhood close to campus. Suppose this market is operating in long-run competitive equilibrium with many gyro vendors in the neighborhood, each offering basically the same gyros. Due to the structure of the market, the vendors act as price takers and each individual vendor has no market power. The following graph displays the supply (S = MC) and demand (D) curves in the weekly market for gyros. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from competition. Competitive Market 4.0 S-MC 35 30 X 2.0 1.5 1.0 + 20 30 PRICE (Dollars per gyra) 5.0 0.5 RICE (Dollars per gyro) 0 5.0 4.5 4.0 3.5 3.0 2.5 Now assume that one of the gyro vendors successfully petitions the neighborhood development board to obtain exclusive rights to sell gyros in the neighborhood. This firm buys up all the rest of the gyro food trucks in the area and begins to operate as a monopoly. Assume that this…
Consider the market for tilapia. Ripple Rock Fish Farms, a small family fishery in Ohio, and The Fishin’ Company, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of tilapia. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the accompanying graph. a. Suppose the market price of tilapia is $2.50 per pound. Move point A to Ripple Rock’s quantity sold. Move point B to The Fishin’ Company’s quantity sold. b. How many pounds of tilapia do they collectively supply?________thousand pounds c. To achieve efficient production, The Fishin’ Company should supply _____ ("more", or "less", or "the same") it is currently producing, and Ripple Rock should supply __________ ("more", or "less", or "the same") it is currently producing.
Compute the equilibrium prices, quantities, and profits for both firms. Consider now the first stage.
Figure 14-4 In the following figure, graph (a) depicts the linear marginal cost (MC) of a firm in a competitive market, and graph (b) depicts the linear market supply curve for a market with a fixed number of identical firms. Graph (a): Firm Graph (b): Market Refer to Figure 14 -4. If at a market price of $1.75,52,500 units of output are supplied to this market, how many identical firms are participating in this market? 250 75 100 300 Please give me correct answer with Calculation and full explanation; otherwise, i give multiple downvote
If the market for donuts is perfectly competitive and all firms are producing a quantity that generates no deadweight loss and the cost per unit is minimized, which of the following is most likely true? Firms are making economic losses and more firms will exit this industry. Firms are earning economic profits and more firms will enter this industry. Firms will decrease their average total costs if they increase output The market is in long-run equilibrium.
Initially, all firms in a perfectly competitive market are in long-run equilibrium. Assume that the market demand for the product produced by the firms in the market suddenly rises. Suppose the following graph shows the marginal revenue (MR) and marginal cost (MC) curves of a firm in this market at its initial long-run equilibrium, with an equilibrium price of P₁ and a profit-maximizing quantity of output of Q₁. Show the short-run effect of the increase in market demand on this firm by shifting the marginal revenue curve, the marginal cost curve, or both on the following graph. PRICE AND COST 2 MC Q₂ QUANTITY In the short run, the firm will respond by producing In the long run, some firms will respond by PRICE MR QUANTITY Supply MR Demand O Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate both the short-run effects and the new long-run equilibrium after firms finish adjusting to the increase in market demand. MC the industry. Demand goods and…
