Problem 2: Suppose in a perfectly competitive industry that the market supply and demand forces combine to produce a short-run equilibrium price of $70. Suppose further that a single firm in this industry has a weekly total cost function expressed by the equation: (b) TC=200+50q - 6q² + (1/3)q³. What is this firm's profit maximizing level of output? What are its profits? At what level of (q) will this firm shut down its operations? At what level of (q) will the firm break even.
Start from a market with perfect competition. For a representative producer, the long-term marginal cost is given by LMC=9Q2−20Q+50LMC=9Q2−20Q+50 and the long-term total cost function is LTC=3Q3−10Q2+50QLTC=3Q3−10Q2+50Q Assume that the price on the market right now is SEK 50. a) How much profit or loss does the producer make in the initial situation? b) Describe in detail what will happen in the market and why c) What will the equilibrium price be? d) how much will our producer produce at market equilibrium?
A competitive industry consists of identical 100 producers, all of whom operate with the identical short-run total cost curve TC(Q) = 60 + 5Q², where Q is the annual output of a fırm. The market demand curve is Qº = 600 – 50P, where P is the market price. %3D 1. What is the each firm's short-run supply curve? 2. What is the short-run industry supply curve? 3. Determine the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this industry.
The market determined price in a perfectly competitive industry is P = Rs. 10. Suppose that the total cost equation of an individual firm in the industry is given by the expressionTC 1000+2Q+0.01Q2 At profit maximizing level what is firm total cost, total revenue and marginal cost
Suppose that a firm in a competitive market has the following cost curves: Price 13 12 11 10 MC ATC 8+- AVC 7. 6.3 4.5 2 1 2 4 6 9 10 11 Quantity The firm's short-run supply curve is its marginal cost curve above which price level? The firm should shut down if the market price equals? If the market price falls below $4.50, the firm will earn positive or negative economic profits?
In a perfectly competitive market, suppose that there are 1280 firms. Market demand is given by Q-1600-4P. All fixed costs are sunk and Total fixed cost is $120 and average variable cost is 160q. Find the equilibrium market price and market output, respectively: $160, 960 $300, 400 $100, 1200 $200, 800
Suppose there is a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identical with identical cost curves. Furthermore, suppose that a representative firm's total cost is given by the equation TC = 100+ q² + 2q where q is the quantity of output produced by the firm. You also know that the market demand for this product is given by the equation P= 1000 - 2Q where Q is the market quantity. In addition you are told that the market supply curve is given by the equation P = 100+ Q. What is the firm's profit maximizing level of production? (Note: 1. If your answer is 100, please key in 100. There is no need to key in 100.0 or 100.00. 2. Please key in a number directly. Please do not key in "unit")
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit. The output level corresponding to a marginal cost of $7 per unit is 1,000 units. At 1,000 units, its average variable costs equal $8 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $1 per unit. The firm's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output level = . Write number only. The firm's economic profit (or loss) at this output level = . Write either profit number or loss number: e.g. profit 2000.

Each firm in a perfectly competitive industry has long-run total costs C q² + 4. Market demand is D= 160 - 20p. A tax of 2 dollars per-unit is introduced. After entry/exit there will be n2 = in this industry. Use your blank paper to provide a pair of labelled diagrams showing "The Firm" and fırms "The Industry" to illustrate this question. Show equilibria po. P1 and p2.
The market determined price in a perfectly competitive industry is P = Rs. 10. Suppose that the total cost equation of an individual firm in the industry is given by the expressionTC 1000+2Q+0.01Q2 What is the firm’s profit-maximizing output level and profit? Is this profit normal profit or supper normal profit? Justify your answer
Suppose that a firm is in a perfectly competitive market has a long-run cost function given by the following: C(Q) = 400+ 0.25Q² This implies a Marginal Cost Function also given by: MC(Q) = 0.5Q 1. Plot a figure with this firm's LRAC and MC functions. Have quantity (Q) on the x-axis, and these costs on the y-axis. !
