What prevents a perfectly competitive firm from seeking higher profits by increasing the price that it charges?
Briefly explain the reason for the shape of a marginal revenue curve for a perfectly competitive firm.
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit, and at this price the upward-sloping portion of the firm's marginal cost curve crosses its marginal revenue curveat an outpuut level of 1,400 units. If the firsm produces 1,400 units, it's average variable costs equal $6.50 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $0.80 per unit. What is the firm's maximizing (or loss-minimizing output level? What is the amount of it's economic profits (or losses) at this output level?
Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC = 50 + 0.5Q^2The market demand curve for this product is: Qd= 120 −PThere are 9 firms in the market.a) What are each firm’s: fixed cost, variable cost, marginal cost, and average total cost? Graph the average-total-cost curve and the marginal-cost curve.b) Give the equation for each firm’s supply curve.the average-total-cost curve at its minimum? What is marginal cost and average totalc) Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the numbercost at that quantity?
Start from a market with perfect competition. For a representative producer, the long-term marginal cost is given by LMC=9Q2−20Q+50LMC=9Q2−20Q+50 and the long-term total cost function is LTC=3Q3−10Q2+50QLTC=3Q3−10Q2+50Q Assume that the price on the market right now is SEK 50. a) How much profit or loss does the producer make in the initial situation? b) Describe in detail what will happen in the market and why c) What will the equilibrium price be? d) how much will our producer produce at market equilibrium?
Refer to Figure 1 for questions 18-20. In Figure 1: D = Demand Curve; MR = Marginal Revenue Curve; and MC = LRATC is Marginal Cost, assumed to be equal to Long Run Average Total Cost. What is the competitive output and price for this market? Options: a) P = $3, Q = 7 b) P = $6, Q = 4 c) P = $3, Q = 4 d) P = $6, Q = 7

67. In a perfectly competitive market, industry demand is given by Q = 1000 – 20P. The typical firm’s average cost is TC = 300 + Q2 /3, and marginal cost by MC = (2/3)Q. Suppose there are 10 identical firms in the market. What is the market supply? A. 30Q B. 40Q C. 15Q D. 5Q
4. Assume that a firm acts as a price taker. Regardless of the demand, it sells each unit of its product for $5. a) Assume that the firmd marginal cost is given by MC = 0:2q + 3. What is the level of output q that maximizes profit? b) Assume the total cost is given by T C = 0.1q^2 + 3q + 10. Calculate the firms profit. c) Graph these results and label firms supply curve.
Suppose that a perfectly competitive firm faces a market price of $7 per unit. The output level corresponding to a marginal cost of $7 per unit is 1,000 units. At 1,000 units, its average variable costs equal $8 per unit, and its average fixed costs equal $1 per unit. The firm's profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing) output level = . Write number only. The firm's economic profit (or loss) at this output level = . Write either profit number or loss number: e.g. profit 2000.
