The handmade snuffbox industry is composed of 100 identical firms, each having short-run total costs given by 9.8. STC 0.5104 +5 and short-run marginal costs given by SMC q+10 where q is the output of snuffboxes per day. a. What is the short-run supply curve for each snuff. box maker? What is the short-run supply curve for the market as a whole? b. Suppose the demand for total snuffbox production is given by Q 1,100-50P What is the equilibrium in...
Suppose you are given the following information about a particular industry in the short run (perfect competition): QD = 200 − 2P Market demand QS = −120 + 6P Market supply C(q) = 4 + 30q + q2 Firm total cost function for an individual firm (10 pts) Find the equilibrium price & quantity in the market in the short run. (20 pts) Find the output supplied by the individual firm, and the number of firms in...
3. A market consists of 100 identical firms and the market demand curve is given by D(P) = 60 - P. Each firm has a short-run total cost curve STC(q)-0.1+150q2. What is the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market? 4. The short-run marginal cost curves of two types of firms in an industry are given as MC1 = 3q and MC2 = 5q respectively. There are 100 firms of each type. If these firms behave competitively, determine the...
1. Which of the following best explains why the number of firms is fixed in the short run in perfect competition? Marginal costs are too high to allow firms to operate profitably. Firms would wait to see how the long run develops. Capital is fixed in the short run. Firms would never want to enter a perfectly competitive industry. 2. Which of the following best explains why the number of firms is fixed in the short run in perfect competition?...
1. (25 points) The market for study desks is characterized by perfect competition. Firms and consumers are price takers and in the long run there is free entry and exit of firms in this industry. All firms are identical in terms of their technological capabilities. Thus the cost function as given below for a representative firm can be assumed to function faced by each firm in the industry. The total cost and marginal cost functions t the representative firm are...
6. Short-run equilibrium Consider a perfectly competitive market for wheat in Halifax. There are 120 firms in the industry, each of which has the cost curves shown on the following graph: 100 90 мс о 80 60 АТС 50 40 AVC 20 10 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 OUTPUT (Thousands of bushels) COST (Cents per bushel) 70 The following graph shows the market demand for wheat. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot...
3. There are two types of firms in an industry. Type 1 firms have the costs TC(n) = 625+ 0.25qi and type 2 firms have costs TC(2) 50000.52 The fixed costs for both types of firms are NOT sunk. (a) Derive each firm's ATC(g), AVC() and MC() functions and plot the curves on separate diagrams (b) Derive each firm's supply function q(p) and show the corresponding curves in the diagrams (c Suppose that there are 10 firms of each type....
5. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the perfectly competitive market for steel. 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. COSTS (Dollars per ton) + MC D AVC 0 10 90 100 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QUANTITY (Thousands of tons) The following diagram shows the...
