The graph shown displays the cost curves for a firm in a perfectly competitive market. If the market price is $100, which of the following statements is true?graph_q10 This firm will earn positive profits in the short run. In the long run, the market supply curve will increase. Profits for this firm will decrease in the long run. I only I and II I and III I, II and III
A firm operates in a perfectly competitive industry with the following totoal production function: π (q) TR(q) - TC(q) = 20q - TC(q) where TC(q) = 50 + 4q + 2q2 a) find the firm's demand and supply functions b)Find the profit maximizing output. Is the firm making above normal profits? c)What is the long-run equilibrium?
Assume the natural gas industry is still living with the short-run supply disruption. Then, unusually warm weather causes demand for natural gas to decrease unexpectedly. Analyze the impact of this reduction in demand in for natural gas. graphically depict any changes affecting the market for natural gas and any changes that impact the individual firm. Show the movements of the curves (if any) and the new Short Run Equilibrium (SRE). assume the natural gas industry is perfectly competitive, demand is downward sloping, supply is upward sloping, and production technology results in traditional U-shaped ATC and AVC curves. market price is always greater than the minimum of the AVC curve.
If the short-run marginal and average variable cost curves for a competitive firm are given by SMC = 2 + 4Q and AVC = 2 + 3Q, how many units of output will it produce at a market price of 34? Instructions: Round your answers to the nearest whole number. Q= At what level of fixed cost will this firm earn zero economic profit? $

Suppose the cost of renting a snowy bus were to fall from $30 per hour to $20 per hour. What do you expect would happen in the short-run (stage 1 equilibrium) to (a) the number of cones produced by each snowy bus; (b) total production of cones in the market, and (c) economic profits of snowy bus businesses? Briefly explain (you don't need to do any calculations, just explain inwords).
2. Consider a market with 90 firms, each firm has a short-run total cost function as follows: TC(q) = 5q2, and a marginal cost function: MC(q) = 10q. Market demand is given by equation Qd(p) = 200 - p. a. What is the fixed cost? Solve the average variable cost function in the short-run. b. What is the supply function of each firm? c. Solve for the short-run equilibrium outcome: P*, Q* and q*. d. What is one firm's economic profit in this market? e. Consider a different market structure, where there is only one firm, interpreted as a monopolist, and then critically discuss the impact on equilibrium price and quantity. Discuss total surplus for these two types of market structures.
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…
Annie owns a florist and operates in a perfectly competitive market. Suppose that price per unit is 16. If at the point where MC and MR curves intersect, ATC = $18 and AVC = $15, then Annie will stay open in short run. Shut down in the short run Earn zero profits in the short run earn positive profits in the short run
Suppose a firm has a fixed cost of F > 0 and a constant marginal cost of c> 0. What can we infer about the short run and long run supply curves? Both the short run and long run supply curves will be downward sloping. Both the short run and long run supply curves will be upward sloping. The short run supply curve will be upward sloping, but the long run supply curve will be downward sloping. O The short run and long run supply curves will be identical. O None of the above.
