Is there a deadweight loss if a firm produces the quantity of output at which price equals marginal cost? Explain.
1. The market demand function of a perfectly competitive market is Q=500-p, and the cost function of an individual company is C(q)=q^3-20q^2+110q. Suppose that the government imposes a tax of 10 per unit of transaction on companies. In the long-term equilibrium, find K-L when you indicate the number of companies as L and the market price as K. Find W1 - W2, W1 is when no tax is imposed, and W2 is when the government imposes a tax of 10 per unit of transaction on an enterprise.
Consider in perfectly competitive market the following demand and supply equations for sugar:Qd =1000-1000p where Q d is quantity demanded and Qs is quantity supplied. Qs=800+ 1000p Where P is the price of sugar per pound and Q is thousands of pounds of sugar. (a) Suppose that the government wishes to subsidize sugar production by placing a floor on sugar prices of $0.20 per pound. What would be the relationship between the quantity supplied and quantity demand for sugar?(b) Identify market problem specifically at prices 0.2 per pound and what will be scientific recommendation you suggest to solve the identified market problem?
Suppose that the demand for broccoli is given by: Q=1000-5P where Q is quantity per year measured in hundreds of bushels and P is the price in dollars per hundred bushels. The long-run supply curve for broccoli is given by: Q=4P-80 Show that the equilibrium quantity here is Q= 400. At this output, what is the equilibrium price? How much in total is spent on broccoli? What is consumer surplus at this equilibrium? What is producer surplus at this equilibrium? How much in total consumer and producer surplus would be lost if Q= 300 instead of Q= 400? Show how the allocation between suppliers and demanders of the loss of total consumer and producer surplus described in part (b) depends on the price at which broccoli is sold. How would the loss be shared if P= 140? How about if P= 95? What would be the total loss of consumer and producer surplus if Q= 450 rather than Q= 400? Show that the size of this total loss also is independent of the price at which the broccoli is sold. Now suppose the…
In the free-market equilibrium of a perfectly competitive market, the price of the good is 90 dollars and the elasticity of demand and the elasticity of supply values are respectively Ed* = -6.6 and Es* = 4.1 Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax equal to 10.4 payable by consumers. Calculate the estimate of the price firms charge consumers in the tax equilibrium using the elasticity values provided above. Then enter that price value below.
Only typed answer Each firm in a competitive market has a cost function of C(q) = q − q 2 + q 3 . The market has an unlimited number of potential firms. The market demand function is Q = 24 − P. a. Determine the long-run equilibrium price, the quantity per firm, the market quantity, and the number of the firms. b. How do these values change if a tax of $1 per unit is collected from each firm? c. How would these values change if instead of a tax the government implements a price floor of 30?
Suppose that all firms in a constant-cost industry have the following long-run cost curve:c(q) = 4q2 + 100q + 100The demand in this market is given by QD = 1280 - 2p. Suppose the number of firms in the market is restricted to 80a. Derive the supply curve with this restriction. Find the market equilibrium price and quantity with the restriction.b. If firms are allowed to buy and sell these permits in an open market, what will be the rental price of permits? Will firm’s that own permits make profit? Briefly explain.c. How much deadweight loss is generated by the permit system? Provide a graph showing the region of this deadweight loss.d. Suppose the government abandons the permit system and simply imposes a fixed fee on firms in the market. If the fee is set equal to the permit price you found in c., what will be the equilibrium price, quantity, number of firms and deadweight loss?

Required: i.What is the equlibrium price and quantity? ii.Suppose that an increase in income resulted in the new demand equation Qd=80-10P What is the new equilibrium price and quantity? Suppose the government enact a legislation that imposes a price equivalent to the original equilibrium price.What kind of price legislation is this?Explain two implications of such a price control.
Consider a perfectly competitive market for frozen meals. The demand for frozen meals is given by Pd = 142 - 4Q and the supply of frozen meals is given by Ps = 13 + Q. What is the value of Consumer Surplus? [Round your answer to 2 decimal places]
In a perfectly competitive market for cheese with downward sloping demand and upward sloping supply, the equilibrium price is $12 per kilo. If the government imposes a price ceiling of $10, we can conclude that the government policy will: Select one: a. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is elastic b. decrease producer surplus and decrease total surplus c. reduce the number of units sold only if demand is inelastic d. decrease producer surplus but increase total surplus e. increase producer surplus but decrease total surplus
5. Suppose the demand for crude oil is given by the function: Q = -2000P + 70,000 where Q is quantity of oil in thousands of barrels and P is price per barrel of oil. Suppose there are 1000 identical small crude oil producers each with marginal cost MC = Q + 5 Where Q is the output of the typical firm: a) Derive the market supply curve and the equilibrium price and quantity b) Suppose a practically infinite supply of crude oil is discovered in North- Eastern Province (NEP) by a would-be price-leader and that the oil can be produced at constant average and marginal cost of Kshs.15 per barrel. If the supply behavior of the competitive firm described above is not changed by this discovery, how much should the price leader produce in order to maximize profits? c) What price and quantity will now prevail in the oil market? d) Graph (sketch) the results obtained above and show whether the consumer surplus increases as a result of the North-Eastern Province oil discovery? Indicate how the…
