Suppose we have many firms each with an individual supply curve of g$= ½ P). Assume that firms have a quasi-fixed cost of $5000 (that is COST = 0 if they exit but COSTS = 5000 + variable costs if they are open). Hence Cost = q² + 5000 if active. Individual demand is Qº= 100 - ½ P (a)_Let there be n = 100 firms and 500 consumers. What is the equilibrium market price, output per firm, and consumption per consumer given the fixed number of firms? Show and explain. (b)_Find each consumer's Consumer Surplus. Show your work.< (c) Find profits per firm. What does this imply for entry/exit decisions? Show your work. < (d) Now let the number of firms change so that each firm's profits are zero. How many firms will there be in the long-run equilibrium? Show and explain why the long-run equilibrium price is $141.42. <
The market demand for a month's supply of a generic medicine is: Q = 400-0.5P. The demand can be rewritten as P= 800-2Q, so that the marginal revenue is MR = 800-4Q. The marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) are constant, and both equal $40. Consequently, the supply curve is P=MC = $40. Suppose that the firms' managers compete. The quantity produced by them will be ☐ units. The price of the product will be $ The total economic profit made by all of the firms combined will be $
6. A record company estimates the industry demand for "hard alternative rock" albums to be: QD-1000 -125 P. It estimates the industry supply to be: QS = 125-P a. Given these estimates, what does it expect the industry output and price to be? b. A government commission announces that lyrics on "hard alternative rock" albums are offensive and should be banned. This causes consumers to purchase 20% more of such albums at any given price, compared to question 6a. What effect will this have on industry output and the price? c. Calculate the consumer surplus for parts a and b above. Are consumers better or worse off given the commission's recommendation?
Demand for Corn Flakes is: P = 14 - Q. Supply of Kellogg's Corn Flakes is: P = 2 + Q. Now a generic company enters the market, selling generic Corn Flakes for $4. Assume consumers are indifferent between generic and Kellogg's Corn Flakes. When the generic corn flakes enter the market, Kellogg's will sell how many less boxes of their own cereal?
Suppose Tyco International has complete control over the plastic hangar market. Suppose the inverse demand for hangars is given by: P(Q) = 3 – Q/16000. Suppose that the total cost is given by: TC(Q) = 100 + Q What is the equilibrium price and quantity of hangars in the market if the market is competitive?
CareRight Medical Company has invented and received a patent for a new drug to treat a rare and fatal disease. It charges $5,000 for a year’s supply of the drug. Critics claim that this amount is excessive, as it does not cost that much to produce. They believe the company is taking advantage of sick people. CareRight responds that they are losing money on this drug. The critics are right: It does not cost CareRight $5,000 to produce a year’s supply for one person. However, CareRight’s statement is also correct in that they are losing money on the drug. How can both statements be true? Consider the different types of costs in your answer.
A mechanical pencil manufacturer sells 3570 pencils per quarter for $0 per pencil. The price elasticity for the product was estimated to be 3.7. If the manufacturer decides to change the price by 18 percent then by what percentage should the quantity sold change? Report your percentage as a whole number such that 20 percent would be reported as 20 NOT 0.2
(b) You are the CEO for a lightweight compasses manufacturer. The demand function for the lightweight compasses is given by p = 40−4q2where q is the number of lightweight compasses produced in millions. It costs the company $15 to make a lightweight compass. (i) Write an equation giving profit as a function of the number of lightweight compasses produced. (ii) At the moment the company produces 2 million lightweight compasses and makes a profit of $18,000,000, but you would like to reduce production. What smaller number of lightweight compasses could the company produce to yield the same profit?
you are an accountant for a manufacterer of radios. the demand function for the tablets is p= 40-4x2 where x is the number of tablets produced in millions. it costs the company $15 to make a tablet. write an equation for the manufactures profit as a function of the number of tablets produced. the company currently produces 1 million tablets and makes a profit of $21000000, but you would like to scale up production a bit, what greater number of tablets could the company produce to yield the same profit
Miron Floren, of Lawrence Welk Show fame, now tours the country performing at accordion concerts. A careful analysis of demand for tickets to Mr. Floren’s concerts reveals a strange segmentation in the market. Demand for tickets by senior citizens is described by Qo = 500P^–3/2 , while demand by those under 65 years old is Qy = 50P^–4. If the marginal cost of a ticket is £3, how should tickets to Mr. Floren’s concerts be priced to maximize profits? A. £3 for senior citizens and £8 for those younger B. £6 for senior citizens and £12 for those younger C. £9 for senior citizens and £4 for those younger D. £4.71 for all tickets E. £12 for senior citizens and £4.50 for those younger
Due to a decline in demand and popularity. Ford Motor Company is planning to phase out traditional sedans such as Fusion' and 'Taurus' to focus on SUVs and trucks. Ford's sedans and trucks/SUVs are substitutes-in-production, inputs in production complements-in-production. products that do not follow the law of supply. 10000
Suppose that you are in charge of a toll bridge over the Mississippi River. The demand for bridge crossing Q is given by the following: 2P = 20 - Q a) How many people would cross the bridge if there were no toll? (YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT) b) The toll bridge operator is considering setting up a price of $5.00. At that price, how many people will cross the bridge? (YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT) c) How many people would cross the bridge if the toll is set at $10.00? (YOU MUST SHOW YOUR WORK TO RECEIVE CREDIT)
