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?
Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. There are 18 firms in the market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=538+2q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=2+2q. Market demand is Q=488-P. What is the quantity produced by each firm in the short-run?
In a competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $100 per unit. A firm that produces Q units of output in this market has a short-run Total Cost (TC) given by ?? = 1000 + 20? + 2?2. What is the marginal cost for this firm? How many units should the firm produce?
Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. There are 22 firms in the market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=284+3q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=3+2q. Market demand is Q=326-P. What is the short-run equilibrium market price?
Cardboard boxes are produced in a perfectly competitive market. Each identical firm has a short-run total cost curve of TC = 4Q3 – 10Q2 + 40Q + 50 where quantity is measured in thousands of boxes per week. The marginal cost of production is given by MC = 12Q2 – 20Q + 40. Calculate the price below which a firm in the market will not produce any output (the shut-down price) in short run.
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
Assume the price of a product in a perfectly competitive firm is $20 and currently it is making minimum loses. What is the marginal cost (MC) and marginal revenue (MR) at this production level?
There are 80 firms of type A and 60 firms of type B in a perfectly competitive market. On one hand, type A firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $12 and average variable cost is 2q. On the other hand type B firm faces a fixed cost (all sunk) of $10 and the variable cost is 3q. Market demand function is given by Q=1200-70 P. Find the equilibrium price in the market. $7 $8 $12 $10
Equilibrium in Competitive Market in the Long Run The long-run average cost function of a competitive firm is AC(Q)= 40 − 6Q + Q2/3. The market demand curve is D(P) = 2200 − 100P. What is the long-run equilibrium price in this industry, and at thisprice, how much would an individual firm produce? How manyactive producers are in the market?
If there were 20 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would be $_______ per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would________ (operate at a loss/ shut down/ earn zero profit/ earn a positive profit). Therefore, in the long run, firms would ________ (enter/exit/ neither enter nor exit) the titanium market. Because you know that competitive firms earn ________ (zero/ negative/ positive) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_____ per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be ______ (10/ 15/ 20) firms operating in the titanium industry in long-run equilibrium.
d, e, & f Consider a perfectly competitive industry where the typical firm has long run Total Cost TCLR = q2 + 2q + 196.a) Find the minimum efficient scale of the typical firm. MES = 30 b) Find the long run equilibrium price. P = 30 Suppose demand in this industry is Qd = 1,700 – 10P.c) Find the long run equilibrium quantity and how many firms can survive in this industry in the long run. Equilibrium Quantity = 1400 and # of firms = 100 Suppose government introduces a $10 per unit tax collected from sellers.d) The tax alters the long run total cost of the typical firm. In which way?e) Does the tax affect the minimum efficient scale of the typical firm?f) In the long run, by how much will the equilibrium price increase in response to the tax?
Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. There are 19 firms in the market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=396+2q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=2+2q. Market demand is Q=484-P. What is the profit earned by each firm in the short-run?
