STC = 40 + 10Q + 0.1Q^2 . SMC = 10 + 0.2Q. The market price is $20.
a. Find the profit maximizing Q.
b. Calculate the maximum profit.
c. Find the average variable cost.
d. In the short run, at what price will this firm close?
e. Find the firm’s short run supply curve and express it as a function of price: Qs (P) = ?
a) Profit maximizing condition; MR = MC
TR = PQ = 20Q
MR = 20
MC = 10 + 0.2Q
MR = MC
20 = 10 + 0.2Q
0.2Q = 10
Q = 10/0.2
Q = 50 units
b) Profit = PQ - (40 + 10Q + 0.1Q2)
Profit = 20 x 50 - 40 - 10(50) - 0.1(50)2 = 1000 - 40 - 500 - 250 = 1000 - 790
Profit = 210
c) TC = 40 + 10Q + 0.1Q2
TVC = 10Q + 0.1Q2
AVC = TVC/Q = (10Q + 0.1Q2)/Q
AVC = 10 + 0.1Q
AVC = 10 + 0.1(50) = 10 + 5 = 15
d) Firm will choose to close the firm when firm is not able to cover all its variable costs.
AVC is 15 so when price is less than 15 then firm will choose to close the firm.
e) Supply curve is the upward sloping MC curve of firm.
P = 10 + 0.2Q

The equation for a firm’s short-run total cost is STC = 10 + 5q + 0.1q^2. Its short-run marginal cost is SMC = 5 + 0.2q. The market price is $25 per unit. a. What is the firm’s maximum profit? b. If all of the firm’s fixed costs are sunk, what is the equation for the firm’s short-run supply curve? c. If all of the firm’s fixed costs are non-sunk, what is the equation for the firm’s short-run supply curve?

Market demand curve is D(P)=400-5P.
The oil drilling industry consists of 60 producers, all of whom have an identical short- run total cost curve, STC(Q) = 64 + 2Q2, where Q is the monthly output of a firm and $64 is the monthly fixed cost. The corresponding short-run marginal cost curve is SMC(Q) 4Q. Assume that $32 of the firm's monthly $64 fixed cost can be avoided if the firm produces zero output...
