Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $80, a cost curve of: C = 0.004q³ + 50q + 1000, and a marginal cost of: MC = 0.012q? + + 50. The firm's profit maximizing output level is 50.00 units (enter your response rounded to two decimal places), and the per unit profit at this output level is $0 (enter your response rounded to two decimal places-include the minus sign if necessary). This firm will may or may not produce in the short-run. The firm will realize zero economic profit , and will not have a business profit. In the long-run, if circumstances do not change, this firm will may or may not produce
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!
Consider a competitive firm with total costs given by T C(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2. The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Graph the AT C, AV C, MC, and MR curves in a single graph, and indicate the profit maximizing level of output. If there are profits, shade the region corresponding to profit and label it. (b) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, what happens to the profit maximizing level of output, T R, T C, and π? (c) If fixed costs increase from 100 to 500, should the firm continue to operate in the short-run? What about the long-run?
The profit-maximising output will never be greater than the (profit-satisficing) sales revenue maximising output. True O False
There are 80 firms of type A and 60 firms of type B in a perfectly competitive market. On one hand, type A firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $12 and average variable cost is 2q. On the other hand type B firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $100 and the variable cost is 3g. Market demand function is given by Q=1200-70P Find the equilibrium quantity of a type A firm and its profit, respectively. Oq=4, profit-$4 Oq=2, profit=$4 q-3, profit=$6 q=5, profit-$23

For this case, let's assume that marginal costs are positive.a) demand is perfectly inelastic b) demand is inelastic but not perfectly inelastic c) demand is unit-elastic d) demand is elastic but not perfectly elastice) demand is perfectly elastic

"A profit maximizing firm seeks to produce at an output where its marginal revenue is equal to its marginal costs." Agree or disagree with this statement.
There are 80 firms of type A and 60 firms of type B in a perfectly competitive market. On one hand, type A firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $12 and average variable cost is 2q. On the other hand type B firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $10 and the variable cost is 3q. Market demand function is given by Q=1200-70 P. Find the equilibrium price in the market. $7 $8 $12 $10
