Suppose that many small firms operating in the perfectly competitive market set-up. All firms are identical and have the total cost function c (q)= 40+8q+(q^2/10), where q is the individual firm’s production amount. The market inverse demand function is described as P= A - (Q/50), where A>0 is constant, and Q is the market quantity. In the short-run equilibrium, there are 78 firms in the market, and firm’s maximum profit is $22.5 a) find the short-run equilibrium price b) suppose that in the long-run, firms cost function is still the same C (q)= 40+8q+(q^2/10) (assume LR cost function has fixed component of 40) Find the long-run equilibrium number of firms?
