- 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…A competitive firm’s production function is given by y= f(x1,x2)= 4x11/2 + 10x21/2 a) The price of factor 1 is 1, the price of factor 2 is 1, and the price of output is 2. Find the profit-maximizing quantities of x1 and x2? What is the profit-maximizing quantity of output? b) Redo part (a), this time by first deriving the firm’s factor demand functions and the supply function, and then substituting the prices in these functions.Consider two firms that produce a single output good,y, using two inputs :Capital, K , and labor, L, the prices of each unit of capital and labor are r and w,respectively. The output good y sells for $p per unit. Firm A's production function is y = fa(K,L) = K1/4L1/4. The profit function is equals to : K1/4L1/4 - rK -wL. a) FInd the profit maximizing levels of K and L as functions of r,w, and p. b) Suppose that r = w= $1 and p =$4 .

- Suppose that the market for apples is perfectly competitive. Production of apples requires two inputs:workers (L) and land (K). The production function for apples is:F(K,L)=3K^(1/3)* L^(2/3) A) Suppose that W=4, R=16, and in the short-run, K=27.

What are consumer surplus and profit?C) Find the firm’s short-run supply of apples Q(P) when W=4, R=16 and K=27.D) Find the firm’s long-run cost function LRC(q) and long-run marginal cost function LRMC(q) when W=4and R=16. How do these compare to the firm’s short-run cost function and marginal cost function?E) Find the firm’s long-run supply of apples q(P) when W=4 and R=16.Suppose the (inverse) demand for a firm’s product is given by P = 10−2Q and the cost function is C(Q) = 2Q What is the profit-maximizing level of output and price for this firm?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…
