- The handmade snuffbox industry is composed of 100 identical firms each having short-run total costs given by , where q is the output per day.20.5105STCqq=++(a) What is the short-run supply curve for each firm? What is the short-run supply curve for the market?(b) Suppose the demand is given by . What will be the equilibrium (both quantity and 110050QP=-price) in this marketplace? (c) What will each firm’s short-run profits be?Consider the market for solar power. Assume the market is perfectly competitive and initially in long-run equilibrium; solar power sells for $.25 per kwh (kilowatt hour, a unit of power). Draw2graphs, oneto represent the market (supply and demand), and one to represent asingle firm (demand, marginal cost, and average cost curves). Assume a u-shaped average cost Show the equilibrium price and the quantity produced by the market (Q) and by each individual firm (q).(a) Let the industry producing soybeans be in a long-run equilibrium. What is the equilibrium price of a bushel of soybeans? How many billions of bushels are produced? How many farmers are there in the industry? What is the shipping fee per bushel of soybeans? (b) Suppose that the demand for soybeans drops due to decreased im- port by China and becomes Q = 15.3 − p. In a new long run equilibrium, what is the equilibrium price of a bushel of soybeans? How many billions of bushels are produced? How many farmers are there in the industry? What is the shipping fee per bushel? (c) Calculate the change in the producers’ surplus between the situations described in (a) and (b). (d) Show that the decrease in the producers’ surplus equals to the decrease in the total shipping fees as the industry contracts incrementally from the equilibrium output in (a) to the equilibrium output in (b).
- Suppose that over the short run (say the next 5 years), demand for OPEC oil is given by P = 165 – 2.5q. Here q is measured in millions of barrels a day. OPEC marginal cost per barrel is $15. What is OPEC’s optimal level of production? What is the prevailing price of oil at that level? Many experts contend that maximizing short-run profit is counterproductive for OPEC in the long run because high price reduces buyers to conserve energy and spur competition and new exploration that increases the overall supply of oil. Suppose that the demand curve just described will remain unchanged only if oil prices stabilize at $65 per barrel or below. If oil price exceeds this threshold, long run demand (over a second five year-period) will be curtailed to P = 135 – 2.5q. OPEC seeks to maximize its total profit over the next decade. What is the optimum output and price policy? (assume all values are present values)Suppose the competitive tablet market is in long-run equilibrium.

For this toaster, the research department’s estimates are aweekly demand of 300 toasters at a price of $25 per toaster and a weekly demand of 400 toasters at a price of $20. The financial department’s estimates are fixed weekly costs of$5,000 and variable costs of $5 per toaster. a) Assume that the relationship between price ? and demand ? is linear. Use the research department’s estimates to express ? as a function of ? and determine the domain of the function. b) Using your knowledge from Finite Math, determine the Revenue function in terms of ?. c) Determine the Marginal Revenue at 2 different production levels for example 250 and 500 units. Interpret these results. (HINT: Consider what a positive or negative first derivative implies) d) Assume that the cost function is linear. Use the financial department’s estimates to express the cost function interms of ?. e) Determinethe Marginal costand interpret the…

Price, Cost €6 (5 20 40 60 80 Quantity MC hoprofits AC 100 120 140 160 180 number of loaves Select one or more: a. The bakery would be better off raising its price up to its AC level. O b. The bakery would be minimising its loss at A. Oc. If the bakery is not yet in the market then it would not enter the market. d. If the bakery is already in the market, then it would always immediately exit the market because it is making a loss.Lasguns are produced by identical firms in a perfectly compettitve market. There are 21 firms in the market. Each firm's Total cost fucntion is TC = 206+2q+q^2 and Marginal Cost frunction is MC = 2+2q. Market demand is Q = 334 - P. What is the short-run equilibrium market price?
- for a firm with price in excess of average total cost, the presence of ecomonics profits implies that the firm should increase output in the short runeven if the price is below marginal cost . true or false explainShould a firm shut down if its revenues is TR = $1,500 per week and: a. its variable cost is TVC = $1,100 and its sunk fixed cost is TFC = $800? b. its TVC = $1,600 and is TFC = $600? c. its TVC = $1,100 and its TFC = $1000 ($800 of which is avoidable if it shuts down?)Suppose the short run market price a competitive firm faces is Birr 9 and the total cost of the firm is: TC = 200 + Q + 0.02Q 2 . Answer the questions that follow. (A) Calculate the short run equilibrium output and profit of the firm. (B) Derive the MC, ATC, and AVC and calculate the values at the short run equilibrium output. (C) Calculate the producers’ surplus at the equilibrium output. (D) Find the output level that will make the profit of the firm zero.
