4. Assume that 1000 competitive farms produce rice from a fixed amount of land with variable labor. Labor costs required to produce q bushels of rice is VC = 1/2q2. a. Determine an individual firm's short-run supply curve
Determine the market supply curve. 4. Assume that 1000 competitive farms produce rice from a fixed amount of land with variable labor. Labor costs required to produce q bushels of rice is VC = 1/2q2.
1. Assume a perfectly competitive market. Let C = Q3 - 4Q2 + 4Q be the cost function of a hypothetical firm. Find its supply function and specify the price and quantity at its lowest point. (Use this for questions 3 and 4) Let Q denote the quantity of pizza. A pizza producer has variable cost (VC) and fixed cost (FC) as VC = Q? FC = 4. 3. Assume a perfectly competitive market. What happens if the market price...
Short-run Equilibrium: Bumper sticker firms produce bumper stickers in a perfectly competitive market. Each identical firm has a short-run total cost function equal to: STC (Q) = 3 + 2q + 2Q2. Suppose that there are 100 firms, and the market demand is D(P) = 100 - 5P where D(P) is the quantity consumed in the market when the market price is P. 1. What is the short-run equilibrium price? 2. How much does each firm produce? 3. Are they...
produce 16000 units of output. What is the cost minimizing combination of capital and labor for this firm? What is it's minimized cost of producing 16000 units of output? 2.2 Problem 2 In a perfectly competitive market all firms (including potential entrants) have a total cost function given by TC(Q) = 100Q - QP + ', where Q is that firm's output. Therefore, each firm's average cost function is AC(Q) = 100-Q+ Qand each firm's marginal cost function is given...
PROBLEM I. Suppose that there are 6 price-taker milk farms in a town They produce milk of the same quality, and each has a cost function C() 0.04q2. The market demand function for milk in this town is given by Q(p)- 1600 325p. 1. The market supply function for milk in this town is (a) Q(p)1600 (b) Qs(p) = 75p (c) Q"(p) = 125p (d) Q(p 1200 (e) Q"(p)=25p 325p. 400p Q2. What is the competitive equilibrium price of milk...

PROBLEM I. Suppose that there are 9 price-taker milk farms in a town. They produce milk of the same quality, and each has a cost function C(g)- 0.03q2. The market demand function for milk in this town is given by Qd(p) 1,500 -450p Q1. The market supply function for milk in this town is (a) Qs(p)= 175p (b) Qs(p)= 1500-450p (c) Qs(p) = 150p (d) Q"(p)= 1200-4001) (e) Q"(p)= 200p Q2.

2. A competitive industry has 12 identical firms, each one has a total variable cost function TVC(a) 402 and a marginal cost function MC(a) 40+q, the firm's fixed cost.s are entirely non-sunk (that is, must be paid only if q >0) and equal to 50. (a) Calculate the price below which the firm will produce q 0. (b) The market demand is QD(p) 360-2p. What is the short-run equilibrium price and quantity supplied by each firm? Calculate each firm's proft...
1. Let the market demand curve be P=1000 - 10Q. Assume the market is controlled by a monopolist. Let fixed cost be $10,000 and Marginal Costs (MC)=20Q. a) What is the profit maximizing output? b) What is the monopolist's total revenue at the profit maximizing output? c) How much profit is the monopolist earning? d) Assume the government breaks up the monopolist in order to create a perfectly competitive market of identical firms. Assume the MC curve is now the...
