- 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.In competitive markets, there are many small firms with each firm unable to influence the market price. Suppose company ABX operates in the wheat market.

- Show a firm that is earning zero economic profits, but has some market power. Then, assume this market power is entirely eliminated when a new competitor enters the market with the same technology and produces a perfect substitute. Showing in your diagram how the firm must adjust its production level to most effectively compete with the new entering firm, explain why maintaining competition is important.Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium, with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D�) and supply curves (S=MC�=MC) in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from perfect competition. Assume that one of the hot dog vendors successfully lobbies the city council to obtain the exclusive right to sell hot dogs within the city limits. This firm buys up all the rest of the hot dog vendors in the city and operates as a monopoly. Assume that this change doesn't affect demand and that the new monopoly's marginal cost curve corresponds exactly to the supply curve on the previous graph. Under this assumption, the following graph shows the demand (D), marginal revenue…Figure 14-4 In the following figure, graph (a) depicts the linear marginal cost (MC) of a firm in a competitive market, and graph (b) depicts the linear market supply curve for a market with a fixed number of identical firms.

If at a market price of $1.75,52,500 units of output are supplied to this market, how many identical firms are participating in this market? 250 75 100 300 Please give me correct answer with Calculation and full explanation; otherwise, i give multiple downvote

Review additional resources? Hint: See the rules for differentiationSuppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC = 50 + 1/2q2 Marginal cost: MC = q Where q is an individual firm’s quantity produced. The market demand curve for the product is: Demand: QD = 120 – P Where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently there are 9 firms in the market. What is each firm’s fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost. Graph the average-total-cost curve and the marginal-cost curve for q from 5 to 15. At what quantity is the average-total-cost curve at its minimum? What is the marginal cost and average total cost at that quantity? Give the equation for each firm’s supply curve. Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the number of firms is fixed. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for the market in the short run? In this equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? Calculate the firm’s profit and loss. Do firms have…
- Assume perfect competition takes place in the market for hotel rooms. The the current market equilibrium price of a standard room is RM300 per night. a. Show that the current market balance is efficient, assuming that both the marginal cost borne by the seller and the marginal profit which the buyer feels reflects all the costs and benefits associated with production and use of hotel rooms. Draw a graph to illustrate you answer.Monopoly outcome versus perfectly competitive outcome Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run perfectly competitive equilibrium, with many hot dog stands in the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power. The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply curves (S = MC) in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from perfect competition. Use the green point (triangle symbol) to shade the area that represents consumers’ surplus, and use the purple point (diamond symbol) to shade the area that represents producers’ surplus.
