A bakery sells specialty handmade loaves of bread. Daily fixed costs of product on are $125, while the marginal cost per loaf is $1.60. A bit of experimenting with their pricing structure has determined that 40 loaves will be sold if the selling price per loaf is $7.00; while 60 loaves will be sold if the selling price per loaf is $5.50. Assuming a linear price-demand relationship : (1) Show that the maximum daily profit is $110.20 when the price...

Assume a perfectly competitive firm has positive fixed costs and marginal costs that initially fall and then rise. Draw a diagram showing this firm’s marginal cost, average variable cost, and average total cost. (Hint: Pay careful attention to where the marginal cost curve intersects the others). Identify the minimum price the firm must receive before it shuts down, and the minimum price before it exits in the long run. Now, show what would happen if this firm experienced an increase...

2. In the local cabbage market, there are 5,000 producers that have identical short-run cost functions. They are: where q is the number of bushels produced each period. Out of the fixed cost, 50% is sunk and 50% is non-sunk. The short-run marginal cost function for each producer is: MC(q) = 0.05q. (3*2.5 = 7.5) a) If the local cabbage market is perfectly competitive, what is each cabbage producer's short-run supply curve? Derive the local market supply curve of cabbage....

Consider the competitive market for dress shirts. The following
graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and
average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the
industry.
On the following graph, use the orange points (square
symbol) to plot points along the portion of the
firm's short-run supply curve that corresponds to
prices where there is positive output. (Note: You
are given more points to plot than you need.)
At the current short-run market price,...

Deriving the short-run supply curve
Consider the competitive market for halogen lamps. The following
graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and
average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the
industry.
For each price in the following table, use the graph to
determine the number of lamps this firm would produce in order to
maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to
the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent...

4. Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the perfectly competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run....
