Find the marginal revenue, the marginal cost, and the profit maximization output level form the following...
1) A perfectly competitive firm faces the following Total revenue, Total cost and Marginal cost functions: TR = 10Q TC = 2 + 2Q + Q2 MC = 2 + 2Q At the level of output maximizing profit , the above firm's level of economic profit is A) $0 B) $4 C) $6 D) $8 *Additional information after I did the math: The price this firm charges for its product is $10, the level of output maximizing profit is 4...
TR = 42Q -0.5Q2 TC=Q3-8Q2+57Q+50 Find the profit maximizing Output level.
Assume that the total revenue (TR), marginal revenue (MR), total cost (TC), and marginal cost (MC) functions of a monopoly firm are: T R=220Q–0.001Q2 MR=∂TR=220–0.002Q ∂Q T C =1,000,000+20Q+0.004Q2 MC=∂TC=20+0.008Q ∂Q (1). Compute the optimal monopoly price/output combination. (10 points) (2). Calculate the firm’s maximised profit. If the company has $5 million invested in plant and equipment, what is the rate of return on investment? (10 points) (3). Assuming that the public utility commissions want the firm to provide more...
Monopolies supply a level of output where their marginal cost equals their marginal revenue. If a pandemic somehow increases their cost of production (including marginal costs), what will happen to their level of output, profit level, and deadweight loss to society? Word limit is 50-150 words.
Consider a competitive rm with total costs given by TC(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2, The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Write expressions for total revenue TR and marginal revenue MR as functions of output q. (b) Write expressions for average total cost ATC, average variable cost AVC, and marginal cost MC as functions of output q. (c) For what value of output is ATC minimized? (d) Find the profit maximizing level of output q...
6. Given the following function TR(R) 6000 -40 TCQ) 1000 +10,200 a. Find the revenue maximizing level of output (check 2d order conditions also), b. Find the maximum revenue c. Find the corresponding profit function d. Find the profit maximizing level of output (check 2nd order conditions also) e. Find the maximum profit 7. Given the following function TR(x)-3x260x TC(x) = 5,500 + 50x a. Find the revenue maximizing level of output check 2d order conditions also), b. Find the...
1. According to the marginal approach to profit maximization, a) firms should equate total revenue and marginal cost when choosing the optimal output level. b) firms should take any action that increases revenue more than costs. c) economic profit is zero in the long run. d) marginal cost declines until it reaches marginal revenue at the profit-maximizing output level. e) marginal costs eventually diminish as more output is produced. 2. Jerry operates in the perfectly competitive paper clip industry, where...
profit maximization occurs where a. marginal cost crosses marginal revenue b. marginal cost crosses average revenue c. average variable cost crosses average revenue d. average variable cost crosses marginal revenue the main difference between the short run and long run is that: a. firms earn zero profits in the long run b. the long run always refers to a time period of one year or longer c. in the long run, only one variable can be fixed d. in the...
8. Consider the following Demand (Price and Marginal Revenue) and Cost (Total and Marginal) relationships expressed as functions of Q: Price = P(Q) = 310 – 2Q TC = TC(Q) = 3500 + 70Q + Q2 MR = MR(Q) = 310 – 4Q MC = MC(Q) = 70 + 2Q a. What is the profit-maximizing level of output? What is the price at that level? b. Should the firm continue operating in the short run? In the long run? c....
3. Why is the equality of marginal revenue and marginal cost essential for profit maximization in all market structures? Explain why price can be substituted for marginal revenue in the MR - MC rule when an industry is purely competitive. 4. Many firms in the United States file for bankruptcy every year, yet they still continue operating. Why would they do this instead of completely shutting down? Explain using concepts covered in class
