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.

Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $100, a cost curve of: C= 1.00g + 25g + 1,600 and a marginal cost curve of: MC = 2.00g + 25. The firm's profit maximizing output level is 37.50 units, the profit per unit is $-5.17, and total profit is: $-193.88. However, if the firm wanted to maximize the profit per unit, how much would it produce? It would produceunits. (round your answer to two decimal places) If the firm produced this output level, what woulid be the profit? Its profit would be $. (round your answer to the nearest penny)

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?
In competitive markets, there are many small firms with each firm unable to influence the market price. Suppose company ABX operates in the wheat market. The company produces and markets wheats at a Price = $20 per container. The firm’s total costs are given as: TC = 50 +2Q + 3Q2 What is the firm Fixed Cost? Why?

You are the owner of a firm in a perfectly competitive market. The market supply and demand are given by the equations: D: P=8 - 0.1Q S: P = 0.2 + 0.05Q Your firm's marginal cost curve and total cost curve are: MC = 0.1 + 0. 2q TC = 20.425 + 0. 1q +0.1q?

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…
