Ans) Monopolistic competition is where there are many sellers selling homogeneous but differentiated products. A profit maximising firm produces the quantity where MR and MC curve intersect and then uses demand curve to determine the price.

Based on the level of output being produced, is this firm maximizing profit? What is the dollar value of the profit being earned by the firm? Use the lettering on the graph to identify the area of profit. How does the demand curve let you know this is a firm operating in perfect competition? What is the significance of Point E? Point F? How much additional cost did the 500thunit add to total cost? How do you know? Explain how the market will adjust...

Consider a competitive rm with total costs given by TC(q) = 100 + 10q + q^2, The firm faces a market price p = 50. (a) Write expressions for total revenue TR and marginal revenue MR as functions of output q. (b) Write expressions for average total cost ATC, average variable cost AVC, and marginal cost MC as functions of output q. (c) For what value of output is ATC minimized? (d) Find the profit maximizing level of output q...

1. Draw two graphs. On the first, show the short-run profit maximizing output of an individual firm earning an economic profit, including MR, MC, AVC, and ATC. On the second, show the short-run market equilibrium price and quantity. Explain how the industry supply curve and the market equilibrium price and quantity are determined. 2. What is the relationship between the price on the two graphs? Why does this relationship exist? 3. Explain why a firm in a perfectly competitive industry...
Consider a firm whose production function is Q = 0.4K0.5 L0.5. Its level of capital is fixed at 100 units, the price of labor is PL = $4 per unit, and the price of capital is PK = $2 per unit. Given this information, the firm's cost structure is given by: Group of answer choices TFC = 200, TVC = Q2/4, TC = 200 + Q2/4, AFC = 200/Q, AVC = Q/4, ATC = 200/Q + Q/4, MC = Q/2...
Consider a competitive firm with total costs given by TC(q) = 100 + 10q + q 2 The firm faces a market price p = 50. (d) Find the profit-maximizing level of output q^*. At this level of output, what are TR, TC, ATC, and π? (e) Graph the ATC, AVC, MC, and MR curves in a single graph, and indicate the profit-maximizing level of output. If there are profits, shade the region corresponding to profit and label it.
