Question 34 Consider a firm in a perfectly competitive market. The long run average total cost is described by the equation: ATC = Q² - 160Q + 6600. What is the market equilibrium price in the long run? 200 80 100 150
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?
Why is the marginal revenue of a perfectly competitive firm equal the 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.
A perfectly competitive firm will choose to shut down when the average total cost intersects the marginal cost curve below the average variable cost curve
Consider a perfectly-competitive industry where each firm has the following long run cost function C(q) = q3 − 12q2 + 105q, where q is the firm’s output. What is the long-run equilibrium price in this market? (Round your final answer to two decimal places, if necessary.)
Suppose a perfectly competitive industry has 300 identical firms in the short run. Each firm faces a marginal cost curve given by MC = 2 + 0.1Q. If the price in the market is $7, what is the individual firm's supply quantity? A) 30 B) 50 C) 40 D) 20
On a graph for a representative firm in a perfectly competitive industry, depict the three cost curves AVC, ATC, and MC (assume typical U-shaped cost curves). Now assume the market price, P, is such that it intersects the upward-sloping portion of MC above ATC. Graphically depict the short-run equilibrium q (representative firm's output) and π (representative firm's profit) under this price scenario.
Consider the following costs of a typical firm in a purely competitive industry. The firm has no fixed cost given only the available information, what would you except product price to be in the long run?
Suppose that each firm in a perfectly competitive market has a cost of TC = 75 + 500Q - 5Q2 + 0.5Q3 Calculate the output that minimizes the firm's AVC.
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $150, a cost curve of: C + 6q + 1,500, and a marginal cost of: MC = q² + 6. What is the firm's profit maximizing output level? units. (round your answer to two decimal places)
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?
