2. (10 points) You are the manager of a monopolistically competitive firm. The present demand curve you face is P = 100 – 4Q. Your cost function is C(Q) = 50 + 8.5Q2. a. (3 points) What level of output should you choose to maximize profits? b. (2 points) What price should you charge? c. (5 points) What will happen in your market in the long run? Explain.
You are the manager of a monopolistically competitive firm, and your demand and cost func- tions are given by Q = 18 - 3P C(Q) = 120 – 12Q + 3Q2 Find the inverse demand function. Determine the profit maximizing price and level of production. Calculate your firm's maximum profits.
You the newly appointed manager of a profit maximizing monopolistically competitive firm. You decided to ensure that the firm is actually charging the profit maximizing price for its product and is producing the profit maximizing quantity. Your marketing group estimates that the demand curve faced by your firm is expressed as: P = 900 – 2Q and its total costs is expressed as: C(Q) = 2Q + Q2 a. What price would you charge? And what level of output would...

Find the price and quantity that maximizes profits for the monopolistically competitive firm b. How much profits does the monopolistically competitive firm make at the profit-maximizing level of quantity? c. Explain the following: What adjustments do you expect to happen in the market in the long-run? What will happen to the demand curve of the firm (will it...
4. Suppose you are the manager of a watch making firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C200+2q, where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production is 4q; the fixed cost is $200.) (a Ifthe price of watches is$100, how many watches should you produce to maximize profit? (b) What will the profit level be? (c) At what minimum price will the firm produce a...
The graph below represents the costs of production for a monopolistically competitive firm. Assuming the firm is producing at the profit-maximizing level of output, (Q*,P*) , where Q = 40 and P * =$16 . Assume average cost is $14.50 Question 9 The graph below represents the costs of production for a monopolisticall competitive firm. Assuming the firm is producing at the profit-maximizing level of output, (Q.,P), where Qu=40 and P =$16. Assume average cost is $14.50. profit-$__(Please only answer...
Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C = 100+ 0 + 2q? where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q; the fixed cost, FC, is $100). If the price of a watch is $80, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits? You should produce watches. (Enter your response as an integer.)
A dry-cleaning business operates in a monopolistically competitive market with the following demand and marginal revenue curves: P = 100–5Q TR = 100Q–5Q2 MR = 100–10Q The business’s total and marginal cost curves are: TC = 4Q + Q2 + 5 MC = 4+2Q where P is in dollars per unit, output rate Q is in units per time period, and total cost C is in dollars. a) Determine the price and output rate that will allow the firm...
