10. In a competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $200 per unit. A firm that produces Q units of output in this market has a short-run Total Cost (TC) given by TC = 8000 + 40Q + Q². What is the marginal cost for this firm? How many units should the firm produce?

4) Explain why a firm should continue to operate in the short run so long as market price is greater the firm's average variable cost at the profit-maximizing level of output.
A company in a competitive market has fixed costs of $200. A total cost curve is given in the table below. Given the data, answer the questions below. Output: 10 20 30 40 50 60 Total Cost:300 420 560 720 900 1100 a. Given the price is $20, what is the profit-maximizing output? What is the profit? b. Given the price is $20, what will happen in the long run? c. At the long-run equilibrium, what will the price be in the long run? What is the profit-maximizing output? What is the profit of the company? d. Prepare marginal cost schedule cost schedule for the firm.

Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve for the wheat industry. Specifically, place an orange point at the lowest point of the supply curve and another orange point at the highest point of the supply curve. (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. Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) 2. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market.

Question: At a price of $16 per CD, a firm sells 70 cds. If the slope of the demand curve is -$0.10, marginal revenue for the 71st CD is $ Marginal revenue It is the change in revenue due to change in output. The marginal revenue curve is horizontal for a perfectly competitive firm. It is downward sloping and less than average revenue curve in imperfect competition.
A firm operates in a perfectly competitive market. The firm’s total cost of production is given by the following equation: TC(q) = 100 + 48q2 + 5q, where q is the quantity supplied. What is the shutdown point for this firm in the short run, or in other words, what is the market price below which a firm is better off not supplying any units in the short run? [Advice: draw AVC and MC]
Consider the cost curves of a firm in a perfectly competitive market shown above. If the market price is $24, how much profit will the firm make: Question 14 options: $52 $65 $156 $ 78
Suppose a competitive firm has the following cost: output(units): 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Total cost: $50 $52 $56 $62 $70 $80 $92 $106 $122 $140 3. If the market price dropped to $8, how much should this profit maximizing firm produce?

Assume that no matter how many firms operate in the Industry, every firm is identical and faces the same marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves plotted in the following graph. COSTS (Dollars per pound) 30,90 100 90 80 70 60 50 40 ATC 30 20 AVC 10 MC 0 0 + 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 QUANTITY (Thousands of pounds) The following graph plots the market demand curve for rhodium. 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…
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
Question 23 A competitive firm has a total cost function in dollars of the form C(q)= 100–4q + q^2, where q is output. Suppose the market price is $10 per unit of output. What is the firm’s short run point elasticity of supply? a) 20/7 b) 5/7 c) 10/7 d) 0.5 e) 2
