Suppose a perfectly competitive firm's cost function is C(q)-4q*+16. Marginal cost for the firm is given by MC=8q. 1) Find equations for variable cost, fixed cost, average total cost, average variable cost and average fixed cost for this firm. Illustrate on a graph the firm's average variable cost curve, average total cost curve, and marginal cost curve. 2) Find the outputs that minimize average total cost, average variable cost and average fixed cost. 3)...

A local electric utility provider is a considered by regulators to be a natural monopoly. It has fixed costs of $100 million and a constant marginal cost of $0.25 per KWH. Its demand curve is linear: ?=160−0.00001? where ? is the price per KWH and Q is the quantity demanded by consumers in KWH per year. a. Confirm that this utility provider is a natural monopoly. [HINT: It might be helpful to use Excel for this exercise.] b. Find the...

A natural monopolist has the total cost function c(y) = 350 + 20y, where y is its output. The inverse demand function for the monopolist’s product is p = 100 – 2y. a) The firm is required by law to meet demand at a price equal to its marginal costs. Calculate the output, the price, profits of the firm, consumers’ surplus and the deadweight loss in the market if the firm To complies with this law. b) Suppose now that...
