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?
The market for sweet potatoes consists of 1,000 identical firms. The market demand curve is given by Qd = 1000 – 5P. Each firm has a short-run total cost, SRTC = 100 + 100q + 100q^2 , where q is output. In short-run market equilibrium, each individual firm will a. earn a profit. b. earn a loss. c. earn zero economic profit. d. produce an output of q = 4.
2. An industry consists of many identical firms, each with the cost function C(q) = 100 + 30q – 8q2 + q3 a. Derive the average cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost curves of a firm. b. Compute the outputs at which the AC and AVC curves reach their minimums. C. If the market price is $40, and each firm is a price-taker, how much output will each firm supply? d. How much profit or loss is each firm...
Please answer me in detail. Thank you. Market demand curve is D(P)=400-5P. The oil drilling industry consists of 60 producers, all of whom have an identical short- run total cost curve, STC(Q) = 64 + 2Q2, where Q is the monthly output of a firm and $64 is the monthly fixed cost. The corresponding short-run marginal cost curve is SMC(Q) 4Q. Assume that $32 of the firm's monthly $64 fixed cost can be avoided if the firm produces zero output...
Suppose the market for watermelons is perfectly competitive and that there are 100 identical firms currently in the market. Each firm as a short run total cost curve of STC=2Q^2+150, with $150 of the fixed costs sunk. calculate the shutdown price for a typical firm.
Consider the competitive market for titanium. 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 above. Use the orange points to plot the initial short run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. Next, use the purple points to plot the short run industry supply curve...
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...
Question 27 A perfectly competitive industry is composed of 100 firms. Each firm has an identical short-run marginal cost function SMC = 5+10q (where q is the firm's level of output). If Q denotes industry output, what is the short-run market supply curve for output? a) Q = -50 + 10p if p > 5 and 0 if p 5 5 α Q = -5 + TOP p if p > 5 and 0 if p < 5 + α...
Exercise 1. Short-Run Industry Supply Curve In a perfectly competitive market there are n firms with identical technology: yi=Li½Ki½. Each firm’s cost function is Ci=wLi+rKi where w=r=1. a) In the short run all firms have a fixed level of Ki=100, so that yi=10Li½ and Ci=Li+100. What is the cost function Ci(yi)? What is the short-run average cost function ACi(yi)? b) What is each firm’s marginal cost function MCi(yi)? What is each firm’s short-run supply function si(p)? Find the inverse of...
7. Short-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consider the competitive market for copper. 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. The following diagram shows the market demand for copper. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market. (Hint:...
