Hint: After placing the rectangle on the graph, you can select an endpoint to see the coordinates of that point.3.

- Consider the following graph of the average and marginal cost functions for a firm in a perfectly competitive market. At a price of P=10: (iii) the marginal cost of production is . (iv) the firm's total profit is . (v) the firm's variable profit is .The supply curves for the only two firms in a competitive industry are given by: S₁: P = 2Q1 S2: P = 2 + Q2, where Q1 is the output of firm 1 and Q2 is the output of firm 2. These two supply curves are shown in the graph below. Draw the market supply curve for this industry.

Find the typical firm’s average cost when it operates at minimum efficient scale. In the long run, what price will prevail in this market? In words, clearly justify your answer. Suppose demand is QD = 3,200 – 100P. (b) Explain why you expect the number of firms in this market to be fifty-five. In this market, what is the short run supply function of the typical firm? What is the short run market supply function? Suppose the local government introduced a $90 licensing fee that raised the fixed cost from $160 to $250. c) Would the introduction of the licensing fee affect the short run equilibrium price or quantity? Justify your answer? Clearly explain why you expect that in the long run fewer larger firms will operate in this market. After the introduction of the licensing fee, what is the new long run equilibrium price? How many firms will survive in this market?
- The curves show the marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and average total cost (ATC) functions for a firm in a competitive market. Use the area tool to draw the area representing the maximum profit the firm could earn—that is, the profit the firm would earn if it produced the optimal quantity.Suppose a typical (representative) corn farm has a short run production technology which results in the outcome of U-shaped Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Cost (MC). Further, suppose this firm sells its product in a market where the price of the good is determined by the interaction of market Demand and Supply. Because an individual firm is very small compared to the rest of the market, we treat the market price as the price given to the firm, and the individual firm cannot impact that price. assume we are in the Short Run for this firm. In graphing, put $ on the vertical axis and lower-case q (firm output) on the horizontal axis. Start with the AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves . show shifts in any of the cost curves, reflecting the higher cost of land (keeping in mind that this higher cost is independent of how much or how little corn is actually produced) and labeling the changed cost curves with a subscript 1. On the graph with $ on the…The graph below depicts the cost structure for a firm in a competitive market. Use the graph to answer the following questions. Figure 14-2 Price P₂ P₁ Q₁Q₂ MC AVC ATC Quantity Refer to Figure 14-2. When price falls from P3 to P₁, the firm finds that fixed cost is higher at a production level of Q₁ than it is at Q3. it should produce Q₁ units of output. it should produce Q3 units of output. it is unwilling to produce any output.

In this case, the firm's fixed cost is $44,000 per day. In other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $44,000 per day until its fixed costs end (such as the expiration of a building lease).
