2. Profit maximization. Suppose that each perfectly competitive firmi in an industry has the short-run cost function TC 20 +4q+, and the market price is S20. What is the profit-maximizing output level for each firm? What is the total revenue? What are the profits?
A firm operates in a perfectly competitive industry. Suppose it has a short run total cost function given by TC = 1200 + 2Q + 0.03Q2. If the market price is $38, what is the firm’s profit maximizing quantity?
2. A firm operates in a perfectly competitive industry. Suppose it has a short run total cost function given by TC= 10000 +0.04q?. If the market price is 56, the firm's profit-maximizing quantity is?
q2 Perfect Competition 2. Afirm operates in a perfectly competitive industry. Suppose it has a short run total cost function given by c(q) = 10,000+ 0.049". If the market price is $56, find the firm's profit-maximizing level of production and calculate their profits.
Suppose that 3W is a representative firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry. 3W's total cost of production is given by TC = 100+q+. a. If the output price is $400, what is 3W's short-run profit-maximizing level of output? b. What is 3W's profit at that price? Graph your results from a) and b). (Hint: your graph needs to include the MR, MC, and ATC curves.)
The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market. Suppose the market price for the good is $80 per unit Use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to shade the area representing the firm's profit or loss at the market price of $80 per unit if the firm chooses to produce the profit-maximizing quantity of output Profit or Loss PRICE AND COST (Dollars) QUANTITY (Thousands of units) At the market price of $80...
1. (18pts) Suppose there are 100 firms in a perfectly competitive industry. Short run marginal costs for each firm are given by SMC = q + 2 and market demand is given by Qd = 1000-20P (5pts) Calculate the short run equilibrium price and quantity for each firm.. b. (3pts) Suppose each firm has a U-shaped, long-run average cost curve that reaches a minimum of $10. Calculate the long run equilibrium price and the total industry output.. (4pts) What is...
1) A perfectly competitive firm faces the following Total revenue, Total cost and Marginal cost functions: TR = 10Q TC = 2 + 2Q + Q2 MC = 2 + 2Q At the level of output maximizing profit , the above firm's level of economic profit is A) $0 B) $4 C) $6 D) $8 *Additional information after I did the math: The price this firm charges for its product is $10, the level of output maximizing profit is 4...
1. Suppose a perfectly competitive firm has a cost function described by TC = 200Q + Q 2 + 225 Each firm’s marginal revenue is $240. a. Find the profit maximizing level of output. b. Is this a short-run or long-run situation? How do you know? c. Assuming that this firm’s total cost curve is the same as all other producers, find the long-run price for this good.
In a perfectly competitive market, a firm has the following short-run total cost function: C(q)=16+4q+q2 The market demand is Q(p)=220-p a. Show that marginal cost curve passes through the minimum point of average cost curve. Draw a figure to show it. b. Find the firm’s individual short-run supply function. Draw it on the above figure. For the following questions, suppose that there are currently 10 identical firms in this market. c. What is the market supply curve? What are the...
