5. Suppose that a frm faces the demand curve of the form q = 60 2p. a) Write down the total revenue curve as a function of q. b) Assume MC = 0:2q and MR = 30q. What output level should the firm produce to maximize profits? c) Graph the demand, MC, and MR curves and the point of profit maximization.
1. Assuming that the product’s price is P58 per pack, should the competitor sell in the short-runWhy or why not?If it decides to sell, what will be the profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing output per day)?What is the profit (or loss) that the seller can realize per day? What is the profit (or loss) per pack?A. Assuming that the product price is P42 per pack, answer the same questions in letter A.B. Because of increasing sellers of masks in the market, the product’s price further decreased to P32per pack. Again, answer the same questions in letter A.C. When is this seller going to shut down?D. Now generate the seller’s supply curve of mask in the short run.
V5. You are the manager of Taurus Technologies, and your sole competitor is Spider Technologies. The two firms' products are viewed as identical by most consumers. The relevant cost functions are C(Qi) = 2Qi, and the inverse market demand curve for this unique product is given by P =290 - 3Q. Currently, you and your rival simultaneously (but independently) make production decisions, and the price you fetch for the product depends on the total amount produced by each firm. However, by making an unrecoverable fixed investment of $500, Taurus Technologies can bring its product to market before Spyder finalizes production plans. (Assume Taurus Technologies is the leader in this scenario.) What are your profits if you do not make investment? What are your profits if you do make investment? Instructions: Do not include the investment of $500 as part of your profit calculation. Should you invest the $500? no or yes
