A firm's market demand for its product in the company’s country, a, is given by Qa(Pa) = 1,050 − 4Pa, where Qa is the quantity of products produced per year and Pa is the price product. Cost of producing this product is ?(Q) = 70,125 + 0.0125Q2. This implies a marginal cost of production of ?C(q) = 0.025Q. a) Find the profit-maximizing price and quantity. Compute the firm’s profit in this case. Should the firm shut down in the short...
Name: Consider the market for a good where the demand curve facing a firm who has considerable market power is given by P = 80 -0.05Q, the marginal revenue curve is given by MR = 80 -0.1Q, and the firm's marginal cost curve is given by MC = 17 + 0.020. a. If the firm behaves like a competitive firm, find equilibrium price and quantity. Graphically identify and calculate consumer and producer surplus. b. If the firm behaves like a...
2. Consider a dominant firm in a market with a competitive fringe. The market demand curve is given by P = 100 − Q.The supply curve of the competitive fringe is perfectly elastic and given by P=Pf. The dominant firm has a marginal cost c where Pf > c (a) For what value of Pf is the presence of the competitive fringe binding on the dominant firm? (b) Suppose the dominant firm has c = 0 and the competitive fringe...
The inverse demand curve for a firm with market power is P = 120 – Q, and its marginal cost is given by MC = 2Q. If the firm is able to practice perfect first-degree price discrimination (instead of behaving as a single-price monopolist), the deadweight loss will _________ (increase or decrease) from $ _______ to $ _______ .
A monopolist firm has the cost function c(y)=3y2 The market demand for the monopolist's product is given by D(p=10 – 0.5p What are the firm's profits?
