Suppose there are 500 identicsl competitivd firms producing widgets and assume the total cost curve for each firm is given as, TC= 5q2+wq+10 and marginal cost is given as MC=10q + w where w is the widget maker's wage and q is the firm's output. If w=$50 what is the equation of the firms short run supply curve? 1) what is the average firm's profit (losses) at the new price of $61? 2) is the average firm in the short-run or long run? given it's profit(losses) should the firm continue to operate? 3) what would you predict, based on the perfectly competitive model of markets, will happen in this industry in the long run?

Your firm "We Work Eot U" rents access to shared open office spaces for a price of S540 per year. The market is perfectly competitive as consumers have many of these "We Work" rental companies to choose from. Your firm's total revenue function is written: TR = (540) Q. The total cost function is written: TC = 80,000+ 40Q + 0.5Q? a. To maximize profits, what is the optimal number of office spaces to rent? Show your work. b. How much (in dollars) are total profits at the profit-maximizing output level? Show your work. c. In the long run, assuming no barriers to entry and exit into this industry, what will happen to profits and to the market price?
A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has patented a newprocess for making widgets. The new process lowers the firm’saverage cost, meaning that this firm alone (although still aprice taker) can earn real economic profits in the long run. a. If the market price is $20 per widget and the firm’s marginalcost is given by MC=0.4q , where q is the dailywidget production for the firm, how many widgets willthe firm produce? b. Suppose a government study has found that the firm’snew process is polluting the air and estimates the socialmarginal cost of widget production by this firm to be. If the market price is still $20, what is thesocially optimal level of production for the firm? Whatshould be the rate of a government-imposed excise tax tobring about this optimal level of production? c. Graph your results.
