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...
5. Suppose that a competitive firm's marginal cost of pro- ducing output q is given by MC(q) = 3 + 2q. Assume that the market price of the firm's product is $9. a. What level of output will the firm produce? b. What is the firm's producer surplus? c. Suppose that the average variable cost of the firm is given by AVC(q) = 3 + q. Suppose that the firm's fixed costs are known to be $3. Will the firm...
Suppose that a competitive firm's marginal cost of producing output q (MC) is given by MC(q) = 3 + 2q. Assume that the market price (P) of the firm's product is $15. What level of output (q) will the firm produce? The firm will produce units of output. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) What is the firm's producer surplus? Producer surplus (PS) is $ . (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose that the average...
Suppose the cost function for a firm is given byC(Q) = 60 + 4Q+ 2Q2.(a)If the firm sells output in a perfectly competitive market and other firms in the industry sell output at a price of $20, what level of output should the firm produce to maximize profits or minimize losses?(b)What will be the level of profits or losses if the firm makes the optimal decision?(c)After you’ve worked the problem, reconsider the original situation (with price of $20) but with...
Suppose that a competitive firm's marginal cost of producing output q (MC) is given by MC(q) = 6 +29. Assume that the market price (P) of the firm's product is $18. What level of output (q) will the firm produce? The firm will produce 6.00 units of output. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) What is the firm's producer surplus? Producer surplus (PS) is $ 36.00. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.) Suppose that the average...
i) The long run cost function for each firm in a perfectly competitive market is c(q) = 2^1.5+16q^0.5, LMC = 1.59^0.5+ 8q^-0.5, market demand curve is Q=1600-2p. Find price (p) of output and the level of output (q) produced by the firm in a long run equilibrium. Find the long run average cost curve for the firm. ii) what happens in the long run if the market demand curve shifts to Q=160-20p?/ -A competitive industry is in long run equilibrium....

Assume that the market price of the firm's product is $9. i) What level of output will the firm produce? (2p) ii) What is the firm's producer surplus? (4p) ii) Suppose that the average variable cost of the firm is given by AVC(g)-3+q. Suppose that the firm's fixed costs are known to be $3. Will the firm be earning a positive, negative, or...
3) Suppose the cost curve for a firm producing sneakers is TC 1010 q - 4q- + 3.1 (10 points) What are the firm's fixed costs, variable costs, average costs, average fixed cost, average variable costs, and marginal costs? 3.2 (10 points) Graph all 7 cost functions (TC, VC, FC, AC, AVC, AFC, MC) for quantities q 0 to q 10. You can use the Excel program to generate these graphs, plot C, VC, and FC in one graph and...
A representative firm in a perfectly competitive, constant cost industry has a cost function T C = 100+4Q 2+ 100Q. (a) What are this firm fixed cost, variable cost and marginal cost? (b) What is the long-run equilibrium price for this industry? (c) If the market demand is Q = 1000 − P , how many firms will operate in this long-run equilibrium? (d) What is the most that this firm would be willing to pay for the exclusive right...
3. Illustrate graphically Suppose that a competitive firms marginal cost of producing output q is given by MC(q)= 70+6q Assume that the market price of the firm's product is $145. A. At what level of output will the firm produce? B. How much is the firm's producer surplus? C. Illustrate graphically profit maximization point and producer surplus. D. Illustrate this market at a loss. Explain.
