A perfectly competitive industry has a large number of potential entrants. Each firm has an identical cost structure such that long-run average cost is minimized at an output of 20 units (qi) =20. The minimum average cost is $10 per unit. Total market demand is given by ? = 1,500 − 50? Calculate the short-run supply function for each firm and the industry short-run supply function.
A firm produces a product in a competitive industry and has a total cost function C = 80 + 4q + 2q2 and a marginal cost function MC = 4 + 4q. At the given market price of $28, the firm is producing 7 units of output. Is the firm maximizing its profit? What quantity of output should the firm produce in the long run?
The market for drones is perfectly competitive. Assume for simplicity that fractions of everything, including firms, is possible.

Enter a number only, drop the $ sign.
Suppose a firm operating in a perfectly competitive industry has costs in the short run given by: SRTC = 8 + ½q^2 and therefore MC = q. Assuming that the firm is a price-taker operating in a competitive market, derive an expression for the firm’s supply curve, (the profit maximizing output for the firm as a function of the market price, i.e., q^s = f(p). Assuming the firm is one of 100 identical firms in the industry, what is the short-run supply curve for the industry, i.e., Q^s = f(p)? If demand is given by Q^D = 1000 – 100p, what are the short-run equilibrium price, market quantity, and firm quantity? Is this a long-run equilibrium?
