Consider a perfectly competitive market inwhich there are 100 firms (producers) and 50consumers (buyers). Each of the 100 firms hasan identical total cost function ofTC(q) = 100+ 4q+5q². Each firm's marginalcost is, therefore, MC(q) = 4 + 10q. Each ofthe 50 consumers has the identical demandcurve given by q = 1 – 0.1P.If the market price in this market is $6, howmany units will each individual firm produce? Ifthe market price is $3.50, how many units?(Make sure they don't want to shut down.) Ingeneral, for any market price P, write down the"supply function" that describes how many unitseach individual firm will produce at that price.

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?

I DO NOT NEED THE CHART I ONLY NEED THE QUESTIONS Quantity of Output Total Cost Marginal Cost Average Total Cost 0 $100 1 $120 2 $135 3 $145 4 $160 5 $180 6 $205 7 $240 8 $285 9 $350 10 $440 Approximately where do you think the price will end up in this market over the long run? Explain your answer. Last, instead of assuming a given price, how would you go about finding the equilibrium price if you were given information on market demand? Assume that this market is made up of 10 identical sellers with costs as above, and that market demand can be given as below. It may be useful to construct a column for market supply knowing the cost information per seller and that there are ten identical sellers in the market.

Give an example of a price at which this firm would want to produce and sell output in the short run, but not in the long run.
Suppose the cost of renting a snowy bus were to fall from $30 per hour to $20 per hour. What do you expect would happen in the short-run (stage 1 equilibrium) to (a) the number of cones produced by each snowy bus; (b) total production of cones in the market, and (c) economic profits of snowy bus businesses? Briefly explain (you don't need to do any calculations, just explain inwords).
