Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C = 100+ 0 + 2q? where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q; the fixed cost, FC, is $100). If the price of a watch is $80, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits? You should produce watches. (Enter your response as an integer.)

Suppose the inverse demand curve for a commodity in a perfectly competitive market takes the functional...
Suppose the inverse demand curve for a commodity in a perfectly competitive market takes the functional form: P (Q) = -.1Q + 10. Additionally, the firm’s marginal cost (MC) takes the following functional form: MC = 4 + 2Q. Recalling that a perfectly competitive firm is a price-taker in the market and its profit-maximizing output level (Qe) is always found by equating its price with its marginal cost: P = MC. Given all this, how much output (Qe) should the...

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...
