Suppose that the perfectly competitive for market for milk is made up of identical firms with long-run total cost functions given by: TC = 4 q³-24 q² + 40 q Where, q = litres of milk. Assume that these cost functions are independent of the number of firms in the market and that firms may enter or exist the market freely. If the market demand is : 1. What is the long-run equilibrium price? Number Qd = 6,000 120 P 2. What is the quantity produced by each firm? Number 3. What is the number of firms in the industry? Number 4. Suppose that market demand increases to Qd = 11,000 - 157.14 P. What is the new long-run equilibrium number of firms?

Suppose a perfectly competitive market with 5 firms in the market. Each firm has supply characterized by P(q)=MC(q)=2+q/2. If 160 units were transacted in total, what was the market price?
Assume that a competitive firm has the total cost function: TC=1q3−40q2+820q+1900TC=1q3-40q2+820q+1900 Suppose the price of the firm's output (sold in integer units) is $650 per unit. Using tables (but not calculus) to find a solution, what is the total profit at the optimal output level? Please specify your answer as an integer.
2. Consider a competitive market where there are two types of firms, Type A and Type B, with total cost functions TC(q) = 2+4q+q² TCB (q) = 8+4q+6q² (a) Derive the short-run supply curve for each firm type (b) What is the short-run market supply, if there are 6 Type A firms, and 12 Type B firms? What is total quantity produced when p=10? (d) How does your answer at (c) change if we consider long run supply rather than short run? Here, assume again that p=10 and that there are 6 Type A firms and 12 Type B firms.
If there were 60 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would be $________ per kilogram. At that price, firms in this industry would (earn a positive profit, shut down, earn zero profit, operate at a loss). Therefore, in the long run, firms would ( enter, exit, neither enter nor exit) the titanium market. Because you know that perfectly competitive firms earn (positive, zero, negative) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_______ per kilogram. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be (20, 40, 60) firms operating in the titanium industry in long-run equilibrium.
Consider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 121 – Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market. In the short run there are 4 firms in the industry, and each firm has a total cost function of TC = 25 + 6q + q2, where q is output of the individual firm. In the long-run market equilibrium what is the number of firms in the industry? Group of answer choices 26 15 5 110 21

Consider a housing market in which the rental properties are owned by 10 price-taking compa- nies. The cost function for each company is Jo C(q) = if q ≤ 10 if q> 10. That is, each company can offer any quantity up to its available rental space 10 at no cost, but it cannot offer any more than 10. Suppose the market demand is given by D(p) = 1000 p if p 1000, (c) Determine the point-price elasticities of demand and supply and state whether at the equilibrium price, they are elastic or inelastic. (d) Suppose the government imposes a 20% value added tax on rent. Calculate the equilibrium supply of housing, and determine the price paid by tenants and the price received by housing companies in equilibrium. Does the tax hurt tenants or create a dead- weight loss? Explain your answer!
choose the right answer: a) q=4, profit=4 b) q=6, profit=2 c) q=3, profit=6 d) q=2,profit=4.
A firm is a perfectly competitive producer and sells two goods X and Y, has demand function 0.1Px – 1.2 + 0.2X = 0 and 10P, – 320+40Y = 0 respectively. The total cost of producing these goods is given by : TC = x2 – 2XY – Y Find the maximum profit and the values of Q1 and Q2 at which this is achieved.
Wakanda is a firm that solely supplies vibranium to Marley and Paradis. The demand function of the Marley market is given as QM=110-PM , and the demand function of the Paradis market is QP=30-PP . Wakanda’s total cost in producing vibranium is given as TC=100+10Q , where represents a ton of vibranium. 1. Calculate the equilibrium price and output for each market. 2. How much is the total revenue in each market?
Consider a perfectly competitive market where the demand for the good is given by Q-769-5p, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. On the supply side, the good can be produced by identical firms. The total cost of the industry as a function of total output, Q, is given by C(Q) = 5 Q What is the (long run) equilibrium quantity in this market?
