- If the price was given what is the formula equation to figure the "profit-maximizing quantity of output" for a perfectly competitive firm?Consider the perfectly competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves for a typical firm in the industry.“That segment of a competitive firm’s marginal-cost curve that lies above its average-variable-cost curve constitutes the shortrun supply curve for the firm.” Explain using a graph and words.
- A firm sells its product in a perfectly competitive market. Its total cost function is: TC = 900 - 20Q + Q2where TC is total cost and Q is output level.a. Find the firm’s average total cost function. b. Find the firm’s average variable cost function. c. Find the firm’s marginal cost function. d. Given the price is $100, what is the profit-maximizing output level? e. Given the price is $100, what is the profit level? f. Over time, is there going to be entry or exit in this competitive market? Why?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?Consider the following cost curves faced by each firm: TC = 60 +0.5q and MC = q, where q is the individual output for each firm in a perfectly competitive market. Assume the market demand is described by theequation: Q = 100 - 2P where Q is the market output in 100s of units. Currently, the market price is $10. What would one expect to happen in this market in the long run? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. Forko In the long run, firms will either enter or exit the market. a b. In the long run, firms will enter the market. In the long run, firms will exit the market. In the long run, firms will neither enter nor exit the market.
- After serving as President of the United States for eight years, Dena has retired from politics and has decided to become a wheat farmer. The market for wheat is perfectly competitive and the current market price for wheat is $10 per bushel. Dena is currently producing 8 bushels (Dena can only produce this good in whole units). Her total cost at 8 units of output is $88 and her variable cost at 8 units of output is $64. Dena knows that if she produces a 9th unit her total cost will become $97, and if she produces a 10th unit her total cost will become $110. Dena’s goal is to maximize her profits. Based on this information, identify whether each of the following would be true or false and briefly explain your reasoning. Dena is currently losing money in the short-run and she would be better off if she shutdown and produced zero. Dena is not currently profit maximizing at 8 units of output and she could increase her profits if she expanded output by one unit. Dena would increase her…Consider the market for solar power. Assume the market is perfectly competitive and initially in long-run equilibrium; solar power sells for $.25 per kwh (kilowatt hour, a unit of power). What happens to the market and the firm in the long run? Indicate clearly what happens to price, quantity, and profit, for each the market and the firm.In a perfectly competitive market: the market price is 28 Marginal cost (MC) = 2(Q) + 8 average total cost at equilibrium is 28, and average variable cost at equilibrium is 7 The profit maximizing price is Number The profit maximizing quantity is Number :Total revenue is Number Total cost is Number Average fixed cost is Number Total fixed cost is Number Total profit/loss is Number Marginal ravenue is Number At this market price,over time, firms would: 1. Enter the industry 2. leave the industry 3. There is no incentive to enter or leave the industry. Number (assume all firms have the same cost structure) :At the market price, could this be a long run equilibrium price? (if yes=1, no=D2) (assume all firms have the same cost structure) Number
- 7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the perfectly competitive market for copper. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. COSTS (Dollars per kilogram) 80 72 64 56 48 40 32 16 8 0 0 4 MC 8 ATC AVC □ 12 16 20 24 28 32 QUANTITY (Thousands of kilograms) 36 The following diagram shows the market demand for copper. □ 40 ? Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry…Suppose that a competitive industry is buying and selling at an equilibrium price of $12. Now suppose that demand increases. If the market is an increasing cost industry, which of the following would we expect to happen in the long run? (select all that apply) The equilibrium price will be lower than $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be at the minimum firm's LAC 0 The equilibrium price will stay at $12 in the long run The equilibrium price will be higher than $12 in the long run
