The inverse demand for shampoo is P = 30 – 0.03Q, where P is the price per bottle in dollars and Q is the number of bottles brought to market in hundreds. There are two manufacturers in the local market. Shop 1's marginal cost function is MC1 = 0.10q1, where q1 is the number of bottles it brings to market. Shop 2's marginal cost function is MC2 = 0.10q2, where q2 is the number of bottles it brings to market. The two firms are Cournot competitors that set output so that Q = q1 + q2. In equilibrium, the market quantity is _____
Define Q to be the level of output produced and sold and assume that the firm’s cost function is given by the relationship: TC = 20 + 5Q+Q2. Furthermore, assume that the demand for the output of the firm is a function of price P given by the relationship: Q=25− P a)Define total profit as the difference between total revenue and total cost and express in terms of Q the total profit function for the firm. Note: Total revenue equals price per unit times the number of units sold. b)Determine the output level where total p rofits are maximized. c)Calculate total profits and selling price at the profit-maximizing output level. d) If fixed costs increase from $20 to $25 in the total cost relationship, determine the effects of such an increase on the profit-maximizing output level and total profits. Use the cost and demand functions in Exercise 5 to calculate the following: e)Determine the marginal revenue and marginal cost functions. f) Show that, at the profit-maximizing output level…
Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC=50 + 1/2q^2 Marginal cost: MC=q where q is an individual firm's quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand: QD = 120 - P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently, there are 9 firms in the market. a. What is each firm's fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost.
Consider a firm in a competitive industry . The firm's average cost curve and marginal cost curve are depicted below . All firms in the market are identical . Suppose the market is in equilibrium , and the firm is currently losing $ 1.200 daily . Use the point tool to indicate the quantity / price point at which this firm must be producing .
Suppose a firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry has costs in the short run given by: SRTC = 8 + ½q2 and therefore MC = q. If the minimum point of the short run ATC curve for all firms (existing and potential) is also the minimum point of the long run average cost curve (LRAC), calculate the long-run equilibrium price, market quantity, and firm quantity. What is the long-run equilibrium number of firms in the industry?
The average cost at this quantity is [ Answer53 ] dollars per unit.
A perfectly competitive industry has a large number of potential entrants. Each firm has an identical cost structure such that long-run average cost is minimized at an output of 20 units (qi) =20. The minimum average cost is $10 per unit. Total market demand is given by ? = 1,500 − 50? Calculate the short-run supply function for each firm and the industry short-run supply function.

Suppose you are managing a firm in a perfectly competitive industry. Your demand, supply and cost functions are given by: Qd = 35 – 2P ; QS = 25 + P ; and TC(Q) = C(Q) = 50 + 10Q + 2Q2 What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? What is your firm’s MC function? In the short run, what is the profit maximizing level of output of the firm (i.e. how much output should the firm produce in order to maximize profit)? How much profit is your firm earning, in the short-run? What adjustments should be anticipated in the long run?
Consider an industry with two firms producing similar products. Each firm's total cost (in dollars) is given below. Acme Manufacturing: TC= 100+ 3Q Generic Industries: TC-500+3Q When each firm is producing the same quantity, Acme's average total cost is
A firm has short-run costs such that the lowest average variable cost it has for any quantity supplied greater than zero (i.e. for Qs > 0 ) is $10 a unit. The lowest average total cost (in the short-run) for any quantity supplied is $14 a unit. That is, $10 and $14 describe the height of the AVC curve and ATC curve at their respective minimums. Suppose the firm is in a perfectly competitive market. a. What is the marginal revenue of a unit at the market price of P? b. What is the average revenue at the market price of P?
