cardboard boxes are produced in a perfectly
competitive market. each identical firm has a short run total cost
curve of TC= 3Q^3 - 12Q^2 +16Q + 100, where Q is measured in
thousands of boxes per week. calculate the output for the price
below which a firm in the market will not produce any output in the
short run. ( i.e., the output for the shut down price)

Each firm in a perfectly competitive market has long run average cost represented as AC(q) = 100q- 10+100/q. Long run marginal cost is MC=200q-10. The market demand is Qd = 2150-5P. Find the long run equilibrium output per firm, q*, the long run equilibrium price, P*, and the number of firms in the industry, n*. P = 190; Q = 1200; q =1 , n = 1200
A representative firm in a perfectly competitive, constant cost industry has a cost function T C = 100+4Q 2+ 100Q. (a) What are this firm fixed cost, variable cost and marginal cost? (b) What is the long-run equilibrium price for this industry? (c) If the market demand is Q = 1000 − P , how many firms will operate in this long-run equilibrium? (d) What is the most that this firm would be willing to pay for the exclusive right...
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...

) Looking at differences between a single firm within a perfectly competitive market and a monopoly, which of the following is true? a) A single firm within a perfectly competitive market, sees the entire downward sloping demand curve of the perfectly competitive market. b) A single firm within the perfectly competitive market can set its price at any level and will not see a change in the demand. c) Because it is the only producer in the market, the monopoly...
29. A firm produces in a perfectly competitive market and hires labor in a perfectly competitive labor market. The firm hires four workers, the marginal product of the fourth worker is 4, and the wage rate is $40. The firm produces 100 units of the product, which sell for a price of $10. This firm is a. maximizing profit when it hires four workers. b. not maximizing profit and should hire more workers to increase profit. c. not maximizing profit...
