Figure 14-4 In the following figure, graph (a) depicts the linear marginal cost (MC) of a firm in a competitive market, and graph (b) depicts the linear market supply curve for a market with a fixed number of identical firms. Graph (a): Firm Graph (b): Market Refer to Figure 14 -4. If at a market price of $1.75,52,500 units of output are supplied to this market, how many identical firms are participating in this market? 250 75 100 300 Please give me correct answer with Calculation and full explanation; otherwise, i give multiple downvote
Please no written by hand and no emage Two firms compete in a homogeneous product market where the inverse demand function is P = 20 −5Q (quantity is measured in millions). Firm 1 has been in business for one year, while Firm 2 just recently entered the market. Each firm has a legal obligation to pay one year’s rent of $1.6 million regardless of its production decision. Firm 1’s marginal cost is $2, and Firm 2’s marginal cost is $10. The current market price is $15 and was set optimally last year when Firm 1 was the only firm in the market. At present, each firm has a 50 percent share of the market.Determine the current profits of the two firms. Firm 1's profits: $Firm 2's profits: $What would each firm’s current profits be if Firm 1 reduced its price to $10 while Firm 2 continued to charge $15?Firm 1's profits: $Firm 2's profits: $Suppose that, by cutting its price to $10, Firm 1 is able to drive Firm 2 completely out of the market. After Firm 2 exits the market, does Firm 1 have an…

3. Consider a market for an identical product with four firms. The inverse demand for this product is P = 150-2Q where P is price and Q is aggregate output. The production costs for firms 1 and 2 is given by C(qi) = 5qi where qi is the output of firm i and the production costs for firms 3 and 4 is given by C(q) = 10qį. That is, firms 1 and 2 have a constant marginal cost of 5 per unit and firms 3 and 4 have a constant marginal cost of 10 per unit. Assume that the firms each choose their outputs to maximize profits (Cournot competition) a. Find the Cournot equilibrium output for each firm, the market price and the profits of each of the four firms. (10 pts) b. Suppose that firms 1 and 2 merge and the merged firm's variable cost is the lower of the two firms' costs. Assume that all other firms continue to act as Cournot competitors after the merger. Calculate the Cournot equilibrium output for each firm, the market price and the profits of each of the three firms. Is this merger…
In class we talked about clothing makers that concentrate (cluster) around a button maker. Figure 1 below is a graph that we drew. I have labeled the curves ambiguously (1 and 2) on purpose. The variable N represents the number of firms in the cluster. 5 Use this information to answer the questions below. Figure 1 Curve 1 -Curve 2 N
