- A perfect competitive firm estimates her cost function as given below: C = 100 + 5Q^2a. What is the firm’s fixed and marginal cost?b. If all other firms in the market sell the product at a price ¢20. How much should thisfirm charge for the product?c. What is the optimal level of output to maximize profits? please here below are the sub part that was unsolved d. How much profit will be earned?e. In the long run should this firm continue to produce or shut down? Why?In a perfect competition with 100 identical firms, short-run market supply function of qS=150P+30 and market demand for these firm’s products is Q = 8000 – 200P, the short-run equilibrium market price is 0.33. True or false. Show solution.true/false 1- if a perfectly competitive firm shuts down in the short run, its variable cost equals zero. 2- if a perfectly competitive firm shuts dowm in the short run, its total cost equals zero.

- You are given the following cost data. You can’t produce fractions of a unit. Q 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 TFC 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 TVC 0 5 9 14 20 28 38 If the price of output is Rs 7, how many units of output the firm will produce? Will the firm operate in short run and long run? b) How does Total Revenue change with change in price under conditions ep=1, ep<1 and ep>1?A competitive company will maximize profits or minimize losses in the short term by generating production in which MR = P = MC, given that the price exceeds the minimum variable average cost. True or falseA purely competitive firm finds that the market price for its product is $20. It has a fixed cost of $100 and a variable cost of $10 per unit for the first 50 units and then $25 per unit for all successive units. Does price exceed average variable cost for the first 50 units? What about for the first 100 units? What is the marginal cost per unit for the first 50 units? What about for units 51 and higher? For each of the first 50 units, does MR exceed MC? What about for units 51 and higher? What output level will yield the largest possible profit for this purely competitive firm?
- An industry with many stores offer laminating as a service to their customers. Suppose that each store that offers this service has a cost function C(q)=50+0.5q+0.08q2 and a marginal costMC=0.5+0.16q. Suppose the going rate for laminating is R8.50 per sleeve which each store is compelled to charge. 1. Is the industry in long run equilibrium? Use calculations to either prove or disprove your findings.Please no written by hand solutions 7If SRTC 200+2q+4qwhere q is output, the firm's short-run supply function is a.P = 2 + 8q for P >= 2 and zero otherwise b. q = 0 P < 2; 0.125P - 0.25 P >= 2 c.P = 2 + 8a for p > 0 and zero otherwise. d.q = 0 P < 0; 0.125P - 0.25 P >= 0 8 Each firm in a perfectly competitive market has long-run average total cost represented as ATC+100/q.
