3) Monopolistic Competition Long-Run (7 points) The marginal costs (MC), average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a monopolistically competitive firm are shown in the figure below. Price/Cost (S) a. What is the firm's profit-maximizing output level? b. What is its profit-maximizing price? c. What is the firm's economic profit? d. What would the output level be that is productively efficient (minimizes ATC)? e. At what price and output level would this outcome be allocatively efficient? (Hint...
Econ 308 Fall 2019 Assignment 5 Deadline: Tuesday, Dec. 10th, 2019 1. Suppose a firm's total cost function is given by TC = 6,000 + 20 +0.250, where MC- 2 +0.50 a. What is the output level that minimizes total cost? b. What is the output level that minimizes average total cost? 2. A perfectly competitive industry in long-run equilibrium comprises 200 identical firms. In one of the firms, the workers unionize and receive a 20% wage increase. What happens...

3) Perfect Competition (5 points) The data in the table below are the monthly average variable costs (AVC), average total costs (ATC), and marginal costs (MC) for Alpacky, a typical alpaca wool-manufacturing firm in Peru. The alpaca wool industry is competitive.For each market price given below, give the profit-maximizing output level and state whether Alpacky's profits are positive, negative, or zero. Also state whether Alpacky should produce or shut down in the short run. a. If the market price is $22... i. what...
a) Why is a monopolistically competitive firm less efficient than a perfectly competitive firm? It produces at an output that is lower than its minimum efficient scale (MES) It earns positive economic profits in the long run It deters entry of new firms by putting up entry barriers All of the answers are correct b) Suppose a monopolistically competitive firm has MC=4Q+5. Its demand is P=145-3Q and marginal revenue is MR=145-6Q. What is its profit-maximizing output level? 17 14 16...

Question 7 5 pts Let's say that you know the following information for an oligopoly firm: Total Revenue equals $200 million. Variable Costs are $170 million. Fixed Costs equal $20 million. The firm is currently producing 2,000 products at the MC = MR point (and the MC curve is rising). What recommendation do you have for this firm? Assuming the firm's costs remain the same, the firm should produce fewer products in order to decrease its marginal costs. The profit...
