Long-Run Firm Supply. The retail market for unleaded gasoline is fiercely price competitive. Consider the situation faced by a typical gasoline retailer when the local market price for unleaded gasoline is $1.80 per gallon and total cost (TC) and marginal cost (MC) relations are TC = $40,000 + $1.64Q + $0.0000001 Q2 MC = ƏTC/2Q = $1.64 + $0.0000002Q and Q is gallons of gasoline. Total costs include a normal profit. A. Using the firm's marginal cost curve, calculate the...

[1] A perfectly competitive aluminum producer is currently producing a quantity where the market price is $0.67 per pound (i.e., 67 cents per pound), average total cost is $0.70, and average variable cost of $0.60 (which corresponds to the minimum point on the average variable cost curve). Would you recommend this firm expand output, contract output, or shut down in the short-run? Provide a graph to illustrate your answer. [2] Suppose the local crawfish market is perfectly competitive, with the...

Suppose gizmos are produced in a perfectly competitive industry where two types of managers oversee the production. One type of the managers are called as alpha-type and the other as omega- type. There are only 100 alpha managers, whereas there is unlimited supply of omega managers Both types of managers are willing to work for a salary of $144,000 per year. The long-run total cost of a firm with an alpha manager at this salary is: TCAlpha (9)=144+q2 if q=0...
