Consider a representative firm with total cost of TC=16+Q^2 (and a marginal cost of of 2Q, MC=2Q). The market demand curve is given by P=18-(1/2)Q and the starting market price is $12. 1) Graph the starting condition of a comparative static scenario. 2) Annotate what happens in order to transition to the long run. 3) Graph the long run equilibrium using comparative statics. 4) How many firms are in the market in the long run?

Suppose that a monopoly faces inverse market demand function as P = 70−2Q, and its marginal cost function is MC = 40 – Q. Please answer the following two questions: a. What should be the monopoly’s profit-maximizing output? b. What is the monopoly’s price?

A monopolist’s inverse demand is P=500-2Q, the total cost function is TC=50Q2 + 1000Q and Marginal cost is MC=100Q+100, where Q is thousands of units. a). what price would the monopolist charge to maximize profits and how many units will the monopolist sell? (hint, recall that the slope of the MARGINAL Revenue is twice as steep as the inverse demand curve. b). at the profit-maximizing price, how much profit would the monopolist earn? c). find consumer surplus and Producer surplus...

1. Suppose that demand is given by P=100-Q, marginal revenue is MR=100-2Q, and marginal cost (and average cost) is constant at 20. a. What single price will maximize a monopolist's profit? b. What will be the prices and quantity under two-part pricing? It involves a lump sum fee (e.g., membership fee) equal to the consumer surplus at competitive prices and user fees (i.e., unit price) equal to the competitive price. c.

The demand function for an oligopolistic market is given by the equation, Q = 275 – 4P, where Q is quantity demanded and P is price (Note: inverse demand for the dominant firm here is P = 50 - .2Q). The industry has one dominant firm whose marginal cost function is: MC = 12 + 0.7QD, and many small firms, with a total supply function: QS = 25 + P. In equilibrium, the total output of all small firms is
