The above graph shows two possible marginal cost curves for the production of hoodies (hooded sweatshirts). Assume that the hoodie market is perfectly competitive. If a hoodie industry consists of 10 firms with a marginal cost curve of MC 1 and 20 firms with a marginal cost curve of MC 2, what is the quantity of hoodies supplied at a price of $12 per hoodie? $14 $13 MC 1 $12 $11 MC 2 $10 $9 $8 Marginal Cost of Hoodies...
The graph to the right shows the Marginal Cost (MC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Revenue (MR) curves for a perfectly (or purely) competitive firm. Note that the Demand (D) curve is the same as the MR curve for such a MR/MC ($) firm. Assume that the cost curves here are representative of other firms in the industry. Given the current price, this firm will: earn a positive profit. earn a negative profit. earn zero economic profit. In the...
A monopolist faces a demand curve P = 210 - 3Q and faces a constant marginal cost MC = 15. a) Calculate the profit-maximizing monopoly quantity and compute the monopolist's total revenue at the optimal price. d) Suppose that this monopoly opens for competition and the market becomes perfectly competitive. The firms face constant marginal cost MC = 15. Find the long-run perfectly competitive industry price and quantity.

MC ATC Cost ($ per unit) ONWA0BB 9 10 Quantity The figure above gives the marginal cost (MC) and average total cost (ATC) curves for a firm operating in a perfectly competitive market with a market price of $7. Use this figure to answer the questions below. a. What is the profit maximizing quantity of output? b. When profit is maximized, what is the economic profit?

A competitive industry consists of 100 firms. The short-run marginal cost curve for each firm is given by MC = 200 + .3Q. The demand curve faced by the industry is given as P = 400 - .1Q. What is the producer surplus for each firm?
