(b) Consider two firms, 1 and 2 , operating in a monopolistic competitive market. The cost functions of the firms are: TC_(1)=20+20 Q and TC_(2)=80+80Q, respectively. Would it be rational for both firms to compete in the world market, given the market demand curve of Q=100-P, and they have to bear a trade cost of $30 per unit? Explain with the help of a diagram. please give answer with compleete steps and diagram.
1. A monopolistic producer of two goods, G1 and G2, has a total cost function TC = 5Q1 + 10Q2 where Q1 and Q2 denote the quantities of G1 and G2 respectively. If P1 and P2 denote the corresponding prices then the demand equations are P1 = 50 − Q1 − Q2 P2 = 100 − Q1 − 4Q2Find the maximum profit if the firm’s total costs are fixed at Gh100. Estimate the new optimal profit if total costs rise to Gh101.
Assume the following demand and cost function of a monopolistically competitive firm: P = 100 − 0.2Q TC = 30Q − 5Q q=2 + Q3 i. Determine the long run equilibrium price and output of a monopolistically competitive firm. ii.

Determine whether the statements is true, false, or uncertain. If the statement is false or uncertain, please correct the statement to make it true. If the statement is true, please explain your answer briefly. Include a short definition of any CAPITALIZED term. 1. In a long-run equilibrium, both perfectly competitive markets and MONOPOLISTIC COMPETITIVE MARKETS have price equal to average total cost. (Define monopolistic competition)
In a monopolistically competitive industry, a firm has a short-run and long-run cost function C = 150 + 20Q + 5Q2 The demand function for the firm's product is Q = α – P. (C = cost, Q = quantity, P = price, α = parameter). (i) If α = 116 short, determine the quantity, the price and profit of the business. (ii) What is the firm's demand function at long term equilibrium? MAKE A GRAPH
Assume the following equations describe the conditions for a typical firm in a monopolistically competitive market: P = 6 - .00075qd TC = 4,000 + 2q + .00025q2 where qd is the firm's quantity demanded, P is the commodity's price in dollars, TC is the firm's total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. Based upon these equations, answer the following questions: a. What quantity of output will the profit-maximizing firm produce in the market's long-run equilibrium? What price will the profit-maximizing firm establish in the long run? Explain how you know this firm is in long-run equilibrium? b. Determine the firm's allocatively efficient quantity of output? c. Determine deadweight loss that exists when this firm is in monopolisitc competition's long-run equilibrium.
For market failure unit (market power). In the long run graph for monopolistic competition, firms are no longer earning abnormal profit due to low barriers to entry as there are more similar goods on the market, lowering demand, causing them to earn normal profits, however, shouldn't that cause MR to be equal to AR (demand curve), similar to the normal profit in perfect competition? Why is MR less than AR here when it is earning normal profit?
Determine whether the statements is true, false, or uncertain. If the statement is false or uncertain, please correct the statement to make it true. If the statement is true, please explain your answer briefly. Include a short definition of any underlined term. Firms under monopolistic competition sell identical products. This gives each firm market power.
The market structure of the local pizza industry is best characterised by monopolistic competition. Pizza Shack is one of the producers in the local market.The market demand for Pizza Shack is: Qd = 225 – 10P.Pizza Shack’s cost function is: C(Q) = 0.15Q^2Where Q^2 refers to q squaredDetermine Pizza Shack's profit maximizing level of output and the price charged to customers.6. State the profit-maximising condition for this market structure:
