The table gives the demand schedule for balloon rides (columns 1 and 2) and HotAir's total cost schedule (columns 2 and 3). Now suppose that the government places a fixed tax of $40,000 a month on HotAir. What is HotAir's new profit-maximizing output, price, and economic profit? >>> Remember that the amounts in the table are given in thousands of dollars. C When HotAir is producing its new profit-maximizing output, the number of rides it produces is a month. >>> Answer to 1 decimal place.

7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the 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 (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for titanium. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms. If there were 20 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would…

If there were 20 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of copper would be ______________ per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would ____________ . Therefore, in the long run, firms would ____________ the copper market. Because you know that perfectly competitive firms earn 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 ___________ firms operating in the copper industry in long-run equilibrium. True or False: Each of the firms operating in this industry in the long run earns negative accounting profit.
To show that the marginal revenue curve always lies below the demand curve, consider the following points on a demand curve. (1) Graph the demand curve (2) Calculate TR (total revenue) and MR (marginal revenue) for each quantity (as indicated in the table below) (3) On the same graph as your demand curve, graph the marginal revenue curve using your calculations of MR (Hint: just as the demand curve shows the price at for each quantity level), the MR curve shows the MR for each quantity level.

5. Kyle operates a transportation company that produces travel services using Cars (C), Drivers (D) and gasoline (G). His production technology is: q=10C ½ D ¼ G ¼. In the short run he has 16 cars for which he pays a total fee of R in rent. He can hire Drivers for wage w and buy gas for price v in competitive markets. He sells his travel services in a price taking market for price P. A. Set up an expression for Kyle’s short run Profits as a function of his input choices. B. Find Kyle’s first order conditions for profit maximization. Express Kyle’s optimum choice of Drivers and Gasoline as functions of (P, v, w). C. Find Kyle’s short run supply curve. Then, given w=v=4 graph the curve.

3. Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total Cost: TC = 50+ ¹/29² Marginal Cost: MC = q where q is an individual firm's quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand: QD = 120-P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently, there are 9 firms in the market. a) What is each firm's fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost. b) At q=10, the average-total-cost curve is at its minimum. What is marginal cost and average total cost at that quantity? c) With free enter and exit, give the equation for each firm's long run supply curve. d) Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the number of firms is fixed. e) f) What is the equilibrium price and quantity for this market in the short run? In this equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? Calculate each firm's profit or loss. Do firms have an incentive to enter or exit? g) In the long…
