Give some examples of fixed costs and variable costs. Why do average fixed costs decline across a range of increasing production? Do average variable cost decline, increase, or do both as production increases? Explain. Tell me about perfect competition. Why is it that perfect competition is more of a theoretical market structure than a practical one? In addition, please explain the most important characteristic in perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopolies and relate the characteristic to how these firms can make profits in the short run. In your analysis, make sure to relate an example for each of the market structures listed and how it relates to the particular characteristics.
(b) Consider two firms, 1 and 2 , operating in a monopolistic competitive market. The cost functions of the firms are: TC_(1)=20+20 Q and TC_(2)=80+80Q, respectively. Would it be rational for both firms to compete in the world market, given the market demand curve of Q=100-P, and they have to bear a trade cost of $30 per unit? Explain with the help of a diagram. please give answer with compleete steps and diagram.

Question 4 Consider a duopoly market with 2 firms. Aggregate demand in this market is given by Q = 500 – P, where P is the price on the market. Q is total market output, i.e., Q = QA + QB, where QA is the output by Firm A and QB is the output by Firm B. For both firms, marginal cost is given by MCi = 20, i=A,B. Assume the firms compete a la Cournot.Note that marginal revenue for both firms is given by MRA=500-2QA-QB, MRB=500-QA-2QB. Describe what a best-response curve is and how to find it. Derive the best-response function for each firm. What are the equilibrium quantities? What is the total quantity supplied on this market? What is the equilibrium price in this market?

Suppose that a monopolistically competitive restaurant is currently serving 230 meals per day (the output where MR = MC). At that output level, ATC per meal is $10 and consumers are willing to pay $12 per meal. What is the size of this firm’s profit or loss? Will there be entry or exit? Will this restaurant’s demand curve shift left or right? In long-run equilibrium, suppose that this restaurant charges $11 per meal for 180 meals and that the marginal cost of the 180th meal is $8. What is the size of the firm’s profit? Suppose that the allocatively efficient output level in long-run equilibrium is 200 meals. Is the deadweight loss for this firm greater than or less than $60
Competitive Outcome, (Pcomp, Qcomp) 1. If Sam and Jack each produce the same quantity of appointments as would be produced in perfect competition, what is the total quantity of appointments? 2. What would be the price per lesson? 3. What will be the economic profit of Sam and Jack? Think of the perfectly competitive industry in long-run equilibrium. Non-Competitive Outcome, (PM, QM) 1. If Sam and Jack form a cartel and produce the same quantity of appointments as would be produced in a monopoly, what is the total quantity of appointments? 2. What is the price per appointment 3. What is the economic profit of Sam and Jack?
We now assume the firm producing a steel bar is under monopolistic competition. When the price of the steel bar is $ 30,000, the quantity demanded is 8 metric tons, a 100% change in the price would change the quantity demanded by 25%. The firms fixed cost is $45,000. Its variable cost in thousands at each level of production are 45, 85, 120, 150, 185, 225, 270, 325, 390, and 465. 1. At what production output should the firm produce in the long run? 2. At what price should the firm sell its product in the long run?
Candak Corporation produces professional quality digital cameras. The market for professional digital cameras is monopolistically competitive. Assume that the inverse demand curve faced by Candak (given its competitors’ prices) can be expressed as P = 5,000 - .2Q and Candak’s total costs can be expressed as TC = 20,000,000 + .05Q2. Answer the following questions. A. What price and quantity will Candak choose? B. Is this likely to be a long-run equilibrium for Candak Corporation? Why or why not? If not, what is likely to happen in the market for professional digital cameras, and how will it affect Candak?
