Consider the market for ice cream. Suppose that this market is perfectly competitive. The cost structure of the typical ice cream producer is as follows. Average total cost is equal to 50 1 1 ATC(Q) +÷Q, average variable cost is equal to AVC(Q) =;Q, and marginal cost is equal to 2 MC(Q) = Q. Now, suppose that a new scientific study comes out that shows that soil pollution from rock salt (a key input for making ice cream) is extremely hazardous to human health. In response, the government decides to impose harsh re-zoning restrictions on any land once used for making ice cream. This reduces the market rent for land used to make ice cream, which in turn lowers the opportunity cost of operating an ice cream factory. This reduction in the opportunity cost of capital causes the total fixed cost of ice cream production to fall to 32, but there is no change to variable cost. Give formulas for the typical ice cream producer's new average total cost curve ATC(Q) and marginal cost curve MC(Q).

Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $100, a cost curve of: C = 0.25q + 50q + 1,600 and a marginal cost curve of: MC = 0.50g + 50. The firm's profit maximizing output level is 100.00 units, the profit per unit is $9.00, and total profit is: $900.00. However, if the firm wanted to maximize the profit per unit, how much would it produce? It would produce units. (round your answer to two decimal places) If the firm produced this output level, what would be the profit? Its profit would be S. (round your answer to the nearest penny)
In a certain perfectly competitive market, there are 150 firms, and the short-run total cost function of each is given by Short Term Total Cost (q) = 3q³ - 16q² + 40q + 432 (note that "q" is the quantity produced by the firm). Besides that, any firm (active or potential entrant) can produce according to the total cost function Short Term Total Cost (q) = 2q³ - 16q² + 148q (desconsidering the entrance or exit of firms). Furthermore, the inverse aggregate demand function of this market corresponds to Pd(Q) = 676 - 0.56Q (which "Q" is the total quantity demanded). Based on this information, please check True or False in the arguments below: 1-The profit that each producer makes in the short-run competitive equilibrium is greater than the profit that each producer makes in the long-run competitive equilibrium. True or False? 2-In the long-term competitive equilibrium, there are 200 active firms in this market. True or False? 3-The price p* = 105 and the quantity Q* = 750 composes the…

The demand curve and supply curve for carpet cleaning in the local market are currently as follows: Demand: Q = 1,000 - 1OP Supply: Q = 640 + 2P The total cost function for the typical carpet cleaning company is: TC= 75 + 3q2 (so that FC=75, VC=3q2 and MC= 6q), where costs are measured in dollars and q is output per year. The market is perfectly competitive. First question how do I calculate the optimal output for the typical carpet cleaning firm in the short run and how many firms would operate in the market in the short run? Second, how would I compute operating profits and total profits for the typical firm in the short run. Based on the results so far, would you say that this market is at the long-run equilibrium?
