Description Throughout this Quiz, we will consider of an industry with either one or two firms in it. The Cost function of the first firm is C(q1) = A * q and the cost function of the second firm is C(q2) = Bq , where (А, В, а, 8) are all positive parameters. The demand function in this industry is Q = DP¯Y where (D,y) are positive constants.

A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has patented a newprocess for making widgets. The new process lowers the firm’saverage cost, meaning that this firm alone (although still aprice taker) can earn real economic profits in the long run. a. If the market price is $20 per widget and the firm’s marginalcost is given by MC=0.4q , where q is the dailywidget production for the firm, how many widgets willthe firm produce? b. Suppose a government study has found that the firm’snew process is polluting the air and estimates the socialmarginal cost of widget production by this firm to be. If the market price is still $20, what is thesocially optimal level of production for the firm? Whatshould be the rate of a government-imposed excise tax tobring about this optimal level of production? c. Graph your results.
Suppose there are 5 firms in this industry, each of which has the cost curves previously shown.
A firm's demand and total cost function are given by the expression: P = 20 - Q/2 (1) TC = 0.5Q2 + 36 (2) Where P is price per unit in £ TC = total cost in £ Q is quantity demanded and produced. Find the profit-maximising level of output using the profit function and calculate how much profit is made at this output level.
A firm has a linear demand function for it's product.When the price for the product is Sh.220,the quantity demanded is 40 units.When the price increases to Sh.240 the quantity demanded becomes 30 units.In addition,the firm's marginal cost function is given by; MC = 40Q-2Q^2+2 Fixed cost = Sh. 5 million Where Q= quantity demanded, Mc= marginal cost(cost in Sh. Million) Required 1.The level of output that maximises profits 2.The maximum profit 3.The price of the product at a maximum profit

A firm's demand function is Q = 16 – P and its total cost function is defined as TC = 3 + Q + 0.25Q2. Use these two functions to form the firm's profit function and then determine the level of output that yields the profit maximum. What is the level of profit at the optimum? Note: MC = 1 + 0.5Q
Q 1. (B) A firm's demand function is Q = 16 - P and its total cost function is defined as TC = 3 + Q + 0.25Q2 Use these two functions to form the firm's profit function and then determine the level of output that yields the profit maximum. What is the level of profit at the optimum?
If each of 100 firms in a competitive industry has the following Marginal Cost function (i.e., firm supply function), P = 10 +100Qi What is the short-run industry supply function? (where lowercase subscript "i" is for the firm and uppercase "I" is for the Industry)
The total cost of a firm is TC(Q)=4Q2+6Q+34. Accordingly, its marginal cost is 2*4*Q+6 when its output is Q. Find the output level where the ATC is minimized.
Assume that a competitive firm has the total cost function: TC=1q3−40q2+820q+1900 T C = 1 q 3 - 40 q 2 + 820 q + 1900 Suppose the price of the firm's output (sold in integer units) is $600 per unit. How many units should the firm produce to maximize profit? What is the total profit at the optimal output level? Please specify your answers as integers.
Suppose the firm achieves total revenue of $1,000 by selling 150 units while facing total costs of $900. If the firm produces and sells 151 units, its total revenue is $1,005, and its total costs are $950. Should the firm produce and sell the extra unit? Group of answer choices yes, since marginal profit is positive yes, since profits are positive no, since marginal profit is negative no, since marginal profit is positive You have recently learned that the company where you work is being sold for $1,000,000. The company's income statement indicates next year's profits of $30,000, which have yet to be paid out as dividends. Assuming the company will remain a "going concern" indefinitely and the interest rate will remain constant at 7%, at what (constant) rate does the owner believe that profits will grow? (Hint: the price the owner was willing to pay is the present value of the firm's future cash flows) Group of answer choices 6% 5% 4% 4.5%
Consider the competitive market for titanium. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for titanium. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 30 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 40 firms. If there were 20 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would be $_______ per pound. At that price, firms in this…
