In a perfectly competitive market, a firm has the following short-run total cost function:
C(q)=16+4q+q2
The market demand is
Q(p)=220-p
a. Show that marginal cost curve passes through the minimum point of average cost curve. Draw a figure to show it.
b. Find the firm’s individual short-run supply function. Draw it on the above figure. For the following questions, suppose that there are currently 10 identical firms in this market.
c. What is the market supply curve? What are the market equilibrium price and quantity?
d. In equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? How much is its profit? (It is short run, so it is possible for a firm to earn positive profit)

Exercise 1. Short-Run Industry Supply Curve In a perfectly competitive market there are n firms with identical technology: yi=Li½Ki½. Each firm’s cost function is Ci=wLi+rKi where w=r=1. a) In the short run all firms have a fixed level of Ki=100, so that yi=10Li½ and Ci=Li+100. What is the cost function Ci(yi)? What is the short-run average cost function ACi(yi)? b) What is each firm’s marginal cost function MCi(yi)? What is each firm’s short-run supply function si(p)? Find the inverse of...

Consider a perfectly competitive market with many identical firms. Each firm has a long-run marginal cost function given by LRMC(y) = y ^2 + 1. We do not know the firms’ LRAT C function, but we know that at a quantity of 3 it is equal to LRMC. In other words: LRAT C(3) = LRMC(3). (a) Find an expression for an individual firm’s long-run inverse supply curve: this will be p as a function of y. Note that it will...
