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.)

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.

a) Find the long run equilibrium price. Find the minimum efficient scale of the typical firm. 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?
An industry currently has 100 firms, each of which has fixed costs of $8 and average variable costs as follows: The equilibrium price is currently $15. Each firm produces units, so the total quantity supplied in the market is units. In the long run, firms can enter and exit the market, and all entrants have the same costs as in the previous table. As this market makes the transition to its long-run equilibrium, the price will , quantity demanded will , and the quantity supplied by each firm will .
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…
In the US cotton market, each farm having the cost function c(q)=0.5q^(2)+ 10 q+162 where q is the quantity of cotton in tons produced by each farm. The market demand curve is given by Q^(d)=10,400-50 p. Suppose the government gives each farm a subsidy of $8 per ton. Calculate the long-run market price assume the market is perfect competition. $20 $25 $30 $35 With all steps clearly
A firm faces the following average revenue (demand) curve: P = 100 - 0.01Q where Q is weekly production and P is price, measured in cents per unit. The firm's cost function is given by C = 50Q + 30,000. Assuming the firm maximizes profits, the firm's level of production is price in cents is and total profit per week in dollars is (please put your answer for price, quantity and profit in numerical values without any dollar sign, comma or decimal place). If the government decides to levy a tax of 10 cents per unit on this product, the new level of production is the price received by the monopolists after tax in cents is and total profit per week in dollars is the price facing the consumer after the imposition of the tax in cents is (please put your answer for price, quantity and profit in numerical values without any dollar sign, comma or decimal place).
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 + 2q 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 firm's profit maximizing level of production? (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. Please do not key in "unit")
For each lettered space in the following table, determine the appropriate dollar amount (See the chart attached) Assume that the above cost data is for a perfectly competitive firm. Using this data answer the following: (a) If the market equilibrium price that this firm charges is $50, what level of output must this firm produce to maximize its profit? (b) What would be the amount of profit that this firm would earn if it produced at the profit-maximizing level of output? 3. You read in a business magazine that farmers are reaping high profits. With the theory of perfect competition in mind, what do you expect to happen over time (in the long run) to each of the following? a. The prices of agricultural products b. The profits of farmers c. The equilibrium output in agricultural markets d. The number of farms 4. Distinguish between economies of scale and diseconomies of scale. Give examples of why a…
The inverse demand for tea is given by P= 10 – 0.04Q, where Pis the price per a gram of tea and Qis the total number of grams of tea brought to market. There are two tea shops in the market. Shop 1's cost function is given by C = 0.01q,?, where qı is the number of grams of tea it brings to market. Shop 2's cost function is given by C2 = 0.01q2², where qp is the number of grams of tea it brings to market. Given that the two shops compete by setting output (Cournot), answer the following. a) Identify shop 1's reaction function to shop 2's output to within 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.33). 91= Number - Number 92 b) Identify shop 2's reaction function to shop 1's output to within 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.71). q2= Number Number 91 c) To within two decimal places (e.g. 0.63) what is the equilibrium output level of each shop and the equilibrium per gram price for tea. Shop 1 will produce Number grams of tea and shop 2 will produce Number grams of tea. The equilibrium market price is £ Number
Consider the competitive market for steel. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for steel. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms.
