Could I have help. I’m not understanding how to find the mc’s A firm produces its (single) product in two plants. Plant 1 and Plant 2 have different cost structures.You will find the profit-maximizing total output and the optimal allocation of output between plants.The demand curve faced by the firm is:P = 230 – 4Q where Q = Q1 + Q2The total cost equations for the two plants are:C1 = 10,000 + 0.2Q1?C2 = 20,000 + 0.4Q2?a. Write the marginal cost equations:MC1 =MC2 =b. Set MC1 = MC2 to find a relationship between Q1 and Q2.Q1 =C. Write the marginal revenue equation. Set MR equal to the MC of one plant and substitute from (b)to find profit-maximizing Q1*, Q*, and total output Q*.Q2* =Q* =d. Compute the firm's profit-maximizing price and check that MR = MC; = MC2.P* =MR* = MC* =

MC (marginal cost) is the cost incurred by the firm when an additional unit of a good is produced.…

Suppose the profit maximizing firm sells the same good in two individual markets that it is able to keep separate. Since the price elasticity of demand is different in each market, the firm recognizes that rather than charge all customers the same price, it can increase profits by charging different prices in each of the two markets. The demand equations for each market are shown below: Market 1 P=25-2Q Demand The firm's Total Cost Function is: TC=5Q a) What is the optimal output in Market 1? b) What price will be charged in Market 1? Market 2 P=15-Q c) what is the optimal output in market d) what price will be charged in market e) what is the firm's total profit f ) illustrate your answer
The estimated monthly U.S. demand function for avocados isQ = 144 − 40p + 20pt where p is the price of avocados and pt is the price of tomatoes, a substitute for avocados. The estmated supply function is Q = 58 + 15p − 20pf where the price of fertilizer, pf , is $0.40, so the supply function can be written asQ = 50 + 15p. The initial price of tomatoes is $0.80 per lb. Using algebra, determine the initial equilibrium price and quantity of avocados, and then determine how price and quantity change if the price of tomatoes increases by $0.55 to $1.35
Firm A and Firm B sell identical goods The total market demand is:Q(P) = 1,000-1.0P The inverse demand function is therefore: P(QM) = 10,000-10QM QM is total market production (i.e., combined production of firm’s A and B). That is: QM = QA + QB As a result, the inverse demand curve for each firm is: P(QA,QB) = 10,000-10QA-10QB The difference between this example and the example in class is that the two firms have different costs. Firm A has the same cost as in class, but firm B has a different cost function: TCA(QA) = 5000QA TCB(QB) = 5000QB Using the demand function and the cost functions above, what is firm A’s profit function? Using the profit function above and assuming that firm B produces QB, calculate what firm A’s best response is to firm B’s decision to produce QB. (Note: Firm A’s best response should be a function of QB) Using the demand function and the cost functions above, what is firm B’s profit function? Using the profit function above and assuming that firm A…
Consider the market for Atlantic salmon. Petuna, Tasmania’s smallest salmon farm, and Huon Aquaculture, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of Atlantic salmon. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the graph below: If the market price is $13 per kilo of salmon, how many kilos of salmon would Petuna supply? What about Huon Aquaculture? How many total kilos would they collectively supply? Is this allocation the most productively efficient way to produce this quantity of salmon? i will give thumbs up thanks
A competitive firm has a single factory with the cost function C(q) = 3q2 + 62 and produces 25 units in order to maximise profits. Although the price of output does not change, the firm decides to build a second factory with the cost function C(q) = 7q2 + 44. To maximise its profits, how many units should it produce in the second factory?
Use the following general linear supply function: Qs = 40 + 6P - 8PI + 10F where Qs is the quantity supplied of the good, P is the price of the good, PI is the price of an input, and F is the number of firms producing the good.If PI = $20 and F = 60 what is the equation of the supply function?Group of answer choices Qs = 480 + 6P Qs = 40 + 8P P = 480 + 6Qs Qs = 400 + 6P none of the above
The market demand for Gucci bags is given by the function P = 75 - 1.5Q. P is price per bag, and Q is output per time period. The market supply is given as P = 25 + 0.50Q. A typical competitive firm that markets this type of bag has a marginal cost of production of MC = 2.5 + 10q. a) Calculate the market equilibrium price for the bags as well as the output rate in the market. b) Calculate how much the typical firm will produce per time period at the equilibrium price. c) If all firms had the same cost structure, how many firms would compete at the equilibrium price computed in (a) above?
Suppose that the market equilibrium price for a routine service of a four-cylinder car is $270 and the minimum average variable cost of such service at your local mechanic is $300. What would you advise the owner of this business to do? Explain.
You and your friends love to go fishing. There is a sporting goods store in your neighborhood that sells a fishing pole for $82 but costs the store $60, and a fully stocked tackle box that sells for $58 but costs $40. Assuming the mark-up policy is linear, determine the equation that relates price (P) to cost (C). Following this same mark-up policy for other items, what would be the price of a pair of waders which cost the company $80?
A manufacturing business can supply 60 plasma TV sets per month at a price of $280 per set, or sell 140 plasma TV sets if the price is $370 per set. A group of retailers will buy 80 plasma TV’s if the price is $350 per pair and 120 plasma TV’s if the price is $300 per set. Given that the demand and supply functions must be linear: Find the linear equations representing both demand and supply Find the point of market equilibrium (number of TVs: q) and the price per unit (p) at that point.
Suppose a typical (representative) corn farm has a short run production technology which results in the outcome of U-shaped Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC), and Marginal Cost (MC). Further, suppose this firm sells its product in a market where the price of the good is determined by the interaction of market Demand and Supply. Because an individual firm is very small compared to the rest of the market, we treat the market price as the price given to the firm, and the individual firm cannot impact that price. assume we are in the Short Run for this firm. In graphing, put $ on the vertical axis and lower-case q (firm output) on the horizontal axis. Start with the AFC0, AVC0, ATC0, and MC0 curves . show shifts in any of the cost curves, reflecting the higher cost of land (keeping in mind that this higher cost is independent of how much or how little corn is actually produced) and labeling the changed cost curves with a subscript 1. On the graph with $ on the…
The coffee and tea demand functions depend on both prices. Suppose the demand curves for coffee and tea are Qc = 120 − 2pc + pt and Qt = 90 − 2pt + pc, where Qc is the quantity of coffee, Qt is the quantity of tea, pc is the price of coffee, and pt is the price of tea. These crops are grown in separate parts of the world, so their supply curves are not interrelated. We assume that the short-run, inelastic supply curves for coffee and tea are Qc = 45 and Qt = 30. Solve for the equilibrium prices and quantities. Now suppose that a freeze shifts the short-run supply curve of coffee to Qc = 30. How does the freeze affect the prices and quantities
