Perfect Competition 2. Afirm operates in a perfectly competitive industry. Suppose it has a short run total cost function given by c(q) = 10,000+ 0.049". If the market price is $56, find the firm's profit-maximizing level of production and calculate their profits.
1. Suppose that a firm operating in perfectly competitive industry has short-run cost function given by C(q) = 5+2q+9. The market price is $10. (a) What is the profit-maximizing output level for this firm? (b) What is the firm's total revenue and profits at the profit-maximizing output? (c) What is the minimum price at which the firm will produce a positive level of output in the short run?
2. Profit maximization. Suppose that each perfectly competitive firmi in an industry has the short-run cost function TC 20 +4q+, and the market price is S20. What is the profit-maximizing output level for each firm? What is the total revenue? What are the profits?
A firm operates in a perfectly competitive industry. Suppose it has a total cost function of C = 25 + 0.25Q2. a) If the market price is $15, what is the firm’s profit-maximizing level of output? b) If the fixed costs increase from $25 to $75, what is the firm’s profit maximizing level of output? c) If the market price increases to $22, what is the firm’s profit maximizing level of output (with fixed costs at $75)?
13. If Firm A operates in a perfectly competitive industry, with market price = $1,200/unit. If Firm A’s total cost function is given by TC(q)= 20q^2+ 80q + 200, find Firm A’s profit maximizing level of output. 14. Using the information from the above question: is the market in which Firm A is selling its output currently in long run equilibrium?
Suppose that 3W is a representative firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry. 3W's total cost of production is given by TC = 100+q+. a. If the output price is $400, what is 3W's short-run profit-maximizing level of output? b. What is 3W's profit at that price? Graph your results from a) and b). (Hint: your graph needs to include the MR, MC, and ATC curves.)
Numerical Example A representative firm is operating in a perfectly competitive industry. The firm’s total cost, TC, is given by the equation TC = 50 + 5q2 , where q is output. Based on this equation, the marginal cost, MC, is 10q. 1. If the output price is $100, what is the short-run profit-maximizing output? 2. How much profit does this firm make at that level of output? 3. What do you expect to happen in the market in the...
Long Run Equilibrium 4. Suppose each firm in a perfectly competitive industry has the same long run total cost function T C(q) = 16+q^2 . The market demand curve is QD = 100−P. (a) What 3 equations define a Long Run Perfectly Competitive Equilibrium? (b) How much quantity q ∗ does each firm produce in Long Run Perfectly Competitive Equilibrium? (c) What is the market price P ∗ in this equilibrium? (d) Find the market quantity Q∗ . ( e)...
cardboard boxes are produced in a perfectly
competitive market. each identical firm has a short run total cost
curve of TC= 3Q^3 - 12Q^2 +16Q + 100, where Q is measured in
thousands of boxes per week. calculate the output for the price
below which a firm in the market will not produce any output in the
short run. ( i.e., the output for the shut down price)
