Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is 10 and P1 is 11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to bleak into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firms average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues. to produce 6,000 units, how much output would the two films supply to the market? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn?

3. An industry is subject to agglomeration economies (and diseconomies). The profit per firm is £100 for an isolated firm, and increases to a maximum of £160 per firm in a cluster with 6 firms. The profit curve is linear, with a slope of +£12 in the positively-sloped part and -£10 in the negatively-sloped part. Illustrate this profit curve. What will be the equilibrium number of firms in the cluster and how much profit will each firm make? Will this be greater than the efficient number of firms? Explain why. How will an increase in transport costs affect the profit curve and the optimal cluster size? Briefly explain your answer.
COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - PERFECT COMPETITION AND MONOPOLY (RESUBMITION QUESTION) We appreciate a perfect competition market where there is a predetermined limit number of firms with 20 total firms.Each has the cost function such that: CTi = qi2 + 4qi + 3 where qi indicates numbers of firms (i = 20) The demand in the market is: Q = 100 - 4pa) What is the individual supply of each firm?b) What is the supply of the whole industry?c) Obtain the market equilibriumIn the case where a new firm intended to enter a monopolist's market:(a) What kind of legitimate entry barriers can the firm face understanding the nature of the market it wishes to enter?b) What type of anticompetitive barriers could the firm already in the market present?
Adani Shantigram is a picturesque township on Ahmedabad-Gandhinagarhighway. The statement ‘The Good quality life’ shows the commitment ofthe developer towards ensuring that the residents enjoy all the amenitiesand services in the township at least cost and inconvenience. In order toensure competitive outcome, ATRICO (Adani Real Estate Arm) hasensured that for all the important services, many service providers arepresent, so that none of them can charge a high monopoly price from theresidents. Therefore, there are 4 milk parlours, 4 laundromats, 4photocopiers, 4 beauty saloons and 4 grocers in the township. Thisnumber ‘4’ has been decided in a high level meeting, where this wasdiscussed that having less than 4 will result in duopoly/tight oligopoly,and having more than 4 will require more space and therefore notpreferred.Last month, the ladies in ‘Water Lily’ complained that the prices chargedby beauty saloons in the township are very high. In order to address thecomplaints, details…
