Suppose that the market for pizzas in your town is perfectly (or purely) competitive, with a market price of $14 per pizza in longrun equilibrium. A local pizza restaurant, Pizzazzy, signs a one-year lease in a new building in town and continues selling pizzasat this price. People in your town view Pizzazzy pizzas as the same as other pizzas.Suppose that a couple of months after the new pizza restaurant opens, the local government institutes a $8 per pizza priceceiling. If you buy a $8 pizza from Pizzazzy a week later (and assuming Pizzazzy is behaving rationally), what do you knowabout the marginal cost, average total cost, and average variable cost at the profit maximizing point of production after the priceceiling is imposed?Answer Bankmarginal costno higher than $8no higher than $14 butdefinitely higher than $8average total costhigher than $14no higher than $14 butaverage variable costmaybe higher than $8

Assume the market for tortillas is perfectly competitive. The market supply and demand curves for tortillas are given as follows: Supply curve: P = 5Q Demand curve: P = 120 - 10Q The short run marginal cost curve for a typical tortilla factory is: MC = 20q Assuming all tortilla factories are identical, calculate the following: Equilibrium price for tortillas: __1__ Profit maximizing short run equilibrium level of output for a tortilla factory: __2__ Given profit maximizing output as above, a tortilla factory is: __3__ Total number of tortilla factories: __4__ Producer surplus of a tortilla factory: __5__
Consider the perfectly competitive market for fire extinguishers in the town of Emberton. The demand for fire extinguishers is Pp = 100 – 2Q and the supply of fire extinguishers is Ps = 10 + Q. The equilibrium price in this market is P = $40 and at that price, 30 fire extinguishers are bought and sold. Suppose the government of Emberton imposes a $6 per unit tax on fire extinguishers. Under this tax fire extinguishers are bought and sold. Of the $6 tax, V will be borne by consumers and v will be borne by producers. The tax causes consumer surplus to change from an initial level of V to a new level of
After moving into Schine, Dunkin’ reported that their (donut) market equilibrium occurs when 450 donuts are sold at a price of $1.50 per donut. They also reported that the producer will supply no donuts when the price is $0.50 and the customers will demand no donuts at $2.00, what are that supply and demand equations, assuming that both are linear
Problem 2. Suppose the market demand and inverse-demand for pizza in East Lansing is given by: Demand: Qd 1100-5P 220-2₁ Inverse-Demand: P = 220- Currently, there are 100 pizza stores in the East Lansing area that produce identical pizzas and as such the market is perfectly competitive. Suppose each pizza store has identical cost function given by: C(q) = 100 +g+q², fixed-cost I MC(q)=1+2q where C(q) is the total cost, and MC(q) is the marginal cost function. As shown in the total cost function, each pizza store incurs a $100 fixed cost which is a sunk-cost in the short-run but avoidable in the long-run. Recall that the market supply is the sum of individual firm's supply functions, and that individual's (inverse) supply curve is given by its marginal cost function i.e. Individual firm's inverse-supply: P= mc(q) = 1 + 2q Individual firm's supply: 9,= 0.5P - 0.5 Market Supply: 2, 100q, = 50P - 50 (a) What is the short-run equilibrium market price/quantity of pizza in East Lansing?

Suppose the market for sourdough is perfectly competitive, so sellers take the market price as given. Darnell manages a restaurant that offers sourdough for sale. The following graph plots Darnell's weekly supply curve (orange line). Point A represents a point along his supply curve. The price of sourdough is $2.25 per slice, which is given by the black horizontal line. PRICE (Dollars per slice) 9.00 8.25 7.50 6.75 6.00 5.25 4.50 3.75 3.00 2.25 1.50 0.75 Price Supply 0 2 4 XXX Darnell's Weekly Supply 6 A 8 10 12 14 16 18 QUANTITY (Slices of sourdough) 20 22 24 ? Using the previous graph, you can determine that Darnell is willing to supply his 6th weekly slice of sourdough for $ $2.25 per slice, the producer surplus earned from supplying the 6th slice of sourdough is $ Since he receives Suppose the price of sourdough were to rise to $3.00 per slice. At this higher price, Darnell would receive a producer surplus of $ 6th slice of sourdough he sells. The following graph plots the weekly…
In the competitive market for a particular good there are two types of producers: Type A and Type B. Type A producers use a better production technology than Type B producers, so Type A's average cost curve is lower than Type B's for any output level. Both types have upward-sloping marginal cost curves. Assume that the market demand is large enough so that both types of firms produce in the short-run (when the number of firms is fixed) and in the long-run (when the number of firms can change). Which of the following statements is correct regarding the short-run and the long-run equilibria of this competitive market? O a. In the long-run equilibrium, the marginal Type B firm produces where price equals its average cost and makes an economic rent. O b. All firms produce less in the long-run equilibrium than in the short-run equilibrium. O c. In the long-run equilibrium, MC = AC for Type A firms and MC = AC for Type B firms. d. In the short-run equilibrium, Type B firms produce at where…
