Suppose there is a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identical with identical cost curves. Furthermore, suppose that a representative firm's total cost is given by the equation TC = 100+ q² + q where q is the quantity of output produced by the firm. You also know that the market demand for this product is given by the equation P = 1000 - 2Q where Q is the market quantity. In addition you are told that the market supply curve is given by the equation P = 100+ Q. What is the equilibrium price in this market given this information? (Note: 1. If your answer is 100, please key in 100. There is no need to key in 100.0 or 100.00. 2. Please key in a number directly. For price, there is no need to input "$" or "dollar" in your answer.)

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?

A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has fixed costs of FC = 3 and average variable costs of AVC = 2 + 8q. a) What are the firm’s variable costs (VC)? b) What is the firm’s total cost function? c) If the price is $18, how much does the firm supply? d) Does the firm continue to supply this quantity in the short run? e) Suppose there exists a standard market demand function from consumers (downward sloping). Please provide logical discussion about how the market achieves short-run equilibrium. f) Suppose the market demand was given by Qd(p) = 50 – p. Suppose further that a sales tax of £1 per unit is imposed in the market. Calculate the deadweight loss resulting from this tax. Assume the market consists of 100 firms with identical cost functions.
Consider the perfectly competitive market for titanium. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves shown on the following graph
Consider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 252 - Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market. Each firm in the industry has a cost function of TC = 196 + q^2, if q > 0 where q is output of the individual firm (TC = 0 if q = 0). The market is initially in long-run equilibrium. The government decides to regulate the industry by issuing licences to all firms currently in the industry. and not to allow any further entry by other firms without a licence. That is, the number of licences is fixed, and entry requires that an existing licence holder sells their licence to the potential entrant, leaving the number of firms producing in the industry fixed. Subsequent to the introduction of this regulation, the market demand curve shifts to P = 432 - Q. What is the value of the licence?
Initially, all firms in a perfectly competitive market are in long-run equilibrium. Assume that the market demand for the product produced by the firms in the market suddenly rises. Suppose the following graph shows the marginal revenue (MR) and marginal cost (MC) curves of a firm in this market at its initial long-run equilibrium, with an equilibrium price of P₁ and a profit-maximizing quantity of output of Q₁. Show the short-run effect of the increase in market demand on this firm by shifting the marginal revenue curve, the marginal cost curve, or both on the following graph. PRICE AND COST 2 MC Q₂ QUANTITY In the short run, the firm will respond by producing In the long run, some firms will respond by PRICE MR QUANTITY Supply MR Demand O Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate both the short-run effects and the new long-run equilibrium after firms finish adjusting to the increase in market demand.

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 with U-shaped average cost curves. 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 price in this market? (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number. Don't round, even if rounding makes sense...)

Consider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 252 – Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market. Each firm in the industry has a cost function of TC = 196 + q2, if q > 0 where q is output of the individual firm (TC = 0 if q = 0). The market is initially in long-run equilibrium. The government decides to regulate the industry by issuing licences to all firms currently in the industry, and not to allow any further entry by other firms without a licence.

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.
The first graph depicts the industry supply and demand for yoga classes. Assume that the market is initially in equilibrium at the intersection of lines D and S. The second graph is the cost information for a single firm in this perfectly competitive industry. Assume there is an increase in the industry demand for yoga classes and the industry demand curve moves from D to D1. Furthermore, assume this is a constant cost industry. Shift the supply (S) curve to the correct positions to reflect long-run equilibrium in this constant cost industry. Next, use the interactive line to trace out the long-run industry supply curve (LRIS) for this industry.
