2. (40 points) A monopolistically competitive company assembles and installs solar panels it imports at $10 per unit. All remaining costs of the company, denoted RC, is given by the following (as a function of per unit solar panel): RC(Q) = 1,000+5Q2 The demand faced by this company is given by Q-16.67-xP where P denotes the price, Q denotes the quantity and x is currently equal to 1/30. a) (10) points) What is the optimal production level, Q*, and what...
Question 2 (15 points) Continuing your analysis of the competitive US manufacturing industry from Question 1, with demand of Q = 200-P and supply of Q. = P-20, suppose a technological innovation causes the supply curve to shift down by $20 for every given quantity Q. • Depict the original supply, the new supply, and the original demand curves on the usual P, Q diagram. Label all intercepts. Clearly indicate and label the new market equilibrium. 2/8/2 compass 20 Mlinois.edu/bbcswebdavipid-4037356-dt-con020%20ECON528%20M6...
