The market for wheat consists of 500 identical firms, each with the total cost functions shown: TC = 90,000 + 0.00001??2 Where Q is measured in bushels per year. The market demand curve for wheat is Q = 90,000,000 − 20,000,000P, Where Q is again measured in bushels and P is the Price per bushel.
a. (8 points) Determine the short-run equilibrium price and quantity that would exist in the market
b. (6 points) Calculate the profit maximizing quantity for the individual firm.
c. (6 points) Calculate the short-run profit (loss) at that quantity.
d.Assume that the short-run profit or loss is representative of
the
current long-run prospects in this market. You may further assume
that
there are no barriers to entry or exit in the market. Describe the
expected
long-run response to the conditions.
