Assume quantities need not be integers. Market demand is
MWTP=80-Q. Each firm in a constant-cost industry has total costs
and marginal costs are MC(q)=40+10q. If there are currently 10
firms in the market, what is short-run
equilibrium price? Enter a number only, no $ sign.
Answer
the individual firm supply curve is the MC curve
MC=40+10q
P=40+10q
converting to normal form
10q=40+P
q=-4+0.1P
the market supply is
Q=q*10=40+P
Q=-40+P
converting to the inverse supply of market
P=Q+40
equating with demand
80-Q=Q+40
2Q=40
Q=20 units
P=80-20=60
the price is $60

For a constant cost industry in which all firms the same cost functions, their long-run average cost is minimized at $10 per unit output and 20 units (i.e. q = 20). Market demand is given by QD=DP=1,500-50P. Find the long-run market supply function Find the long-run equilibrium price (P*), market quantity (Q*), firm output (q*), number of firms (n), and each firm’s profit. The short-run total cost function associated with each firm’s long-run costs is SCq=0.5q2-10q+200. Calculate the short-run average...
Problem 1: Suppose that the market demand function is given by q-80-2p. All firms in the industry have marginal cost of 10 and no fixed cost. In this problem, the firms compete in quantities. (a) What is the equilibrium price, quantity, consumer surplus, profit (producer surplus) and deadweight loss if there is only one firm in the industry? (b) Now answer the same question if there are two firms in the industry (duopoly). How does your answer compare to the...
Please be descriptive.
The market demand curve in a commodity chemical industry is given by Q 600 - 3P, where Q is the quantity demanded per month and P is the market price in dollars. Firms in this industry supply quantities every month, and the resulting market price occurs at the point at which the quantity demanded equals the total quantity supplied. Suppose there are two firms in this industry, Firm 1 and Firm 2. Each firm has an identical...

7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for copper. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for copper. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market. (Hint:...

Suppose that a particular firm is in a perfectly competitive constant-cost industry. When it is using the optimal amount of capital for the long-run, total cost is C(q)=1000+(q2/10), ATC(q)=(1000/q)+q/10, and marginal cost is MC(q)=2q/10. This implies that ATC=MC at a quantity of 100 and a per unit cost of $20. 1. At what quantity is average total cost minimized? 2. What is the long-run competitive equilibrium price? 3. If market demand is QD=12,000-200P and short-run market supply is QS=300P, what...
Each firm in a perfectly competitive market has long run average cost represented as AC(q) = 100q- 10+100/q. Long run marginal cost is MC=200q-10. The market demand is Qd = 2150-5P. Find the long run equilibrium output per firm, q*, the long run equilibrium price, P*, and the number of firms in the industry, n*. P = 190; Q = 1200; q =1 , n = 1200
