Question

1) A perfectly competitive firm faces the following Total revenue, Total cost and Marginal cost functions:
TR = 10Q
TC = 2 + 2Q + Q2
MC = 2 + 2Q
At the level of output maximizing profit , the above firm's level of economic profit is
A) $0
B) $4
C) $6
D) $8

Definition Definition Structure of the market that exists when many buyers and sellers exchange similar commodities and prices are fixed by market forces, demand, and supply. When there is perfect competition, a single business cannot impact the price or market value of the homogenous product.

A competitive industry consists of 100 identical firms. The short run cost function of each firm is given by C(q)=200q+15q^2 What is the supply function for each firm?
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? [Hint: Calculate firm profit in the equilibrium.]
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 that behaves in a perfectly competitive fashion has the following cost function: C(Q)=Q² +20 +25. For the current market price, the firm is producing where the total average cost is minimum. What is the market price? Select one: a. 25 b. 5 c. 12 d. 60
Suppose that the current price per unit of the good is 10 pounds. A perfectly competitive firm faces the cost function, C = 100 + (1/5)Q2, with marginal cost, MC, equal to (2/5)Q, where Q denotes the quantity produced. Find the profit-maximizing output for this firm in the short-run. Calculate profits. At the profit-maximizing output, is the firm covering its variable costs?
a perfect competitive firms has the following total cost function: total output : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 total cost : 20 30 42 55 69 84 100 117 how much will the firm produce if the price of the production the market is RS. 14 per unit? how will it change its output if price rises to RS. 16 per unit?
If a competitive firm finds that it maximizes short-run profits by shutting down, which of the following must be TRUE? A)p < AVC for all levels of output. B)The firm will earn zero profit. C)p < AVC only if the firm has no fixed costs. D)p < AVC only for the level of output at which p = MC.
Assume the market for chips is perfectly competitive. The market supply and demand curves for chips are given as follows: supply curve: P = 0.000002Q demand curve: P = 11 - 0.00002Q The short run marginal cost curve for a typical chips factory is: MC = 0.1 + 0.0009Q Determine the equilibrium price for chips.

A highly competitive market is made up of 100 identical firms. Each firm has a short-run marginal cost function as follows: MC = 10 + q, where q represents units of output per unit of time.
