Return to Figure 9.2. Suppose P0 is 10 and P1 is 11. Suppose a new firm with the same LRAC curve as the incumbent tries to bleak into the market by selling 4,000 units of output. Estimate from the graph what the new firms average cost of producing output would be. If the incumbent continues. to produce 6,000 units, how much output would the two films supply to the market? Estimate what would happen to the market price as a result of the supply of both the incumbent firm and the new entrant. Approximately how much profit would each firm earn?

Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC = 50 + q2 Marginal cost: MC = q where q is an individual firms quantity produced. The market demand curve for this 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. a. What is each firms fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost. b. Graph average-total-cost curve and the marginal-cost curve for q from 5 to 15. At what quantity is average-total-cost curve at its minimum? What is marginal cost and average total cost at that quantity? c Give the equation for each firms supply curve. d. Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the number of firms is fixed. e. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for this market in the short run? f. In this equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? Calculate each firms profit or loss. Is there incentive for firms to enter or exit? g. In the long run with free entry and exit, what is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? h. In this long-run equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? How many firms are in the market?

To maximize its profit, this firm should produce vases.
4. You are the manager of a firm that produces products X and Y at zero cost. Youknow that different types of consumers value your two products differently, but you are unable toidentify these consumers individually at the time of the sale. In particular, you know there arethree types of consumers (100 of each type) with the following valuations for the two products: Consumer Type Product X Product Y1 $90 $ 602 $70 $1403 $40 $160 a. What are your profits if you charge $40 for product X and $60 for product Y?b. What are your profits if you charge $90 for product X and $160 for product Y?c. What are your profits if you charge $150 for a bundle containing one unit of product X andone unit of product Y?d. What are your profits if you charge $210 for a bundle containing one unit of X and one unit ofY, but also sell the…
A purely competitive wheat farmer can sell any wheat he growsfor $10 per bushel. His five acres of land show diminishingreturns because some are better suited for wheat productionthan others. The first acre can produce 1,000 bushels of wheat,the second acre 900, the third 800, and so on. Draw a table withmultiple columns to help you answer the following questions.How many bushels will each of the farmer’s five acres produce?How much revenue will each acre generate? What are the TR and MR for each acre? If the marginal cost of planting and har-vesting an acre is $7,000 per acre for each of the five acres, howm any acres should the farmer plant and harvest? Note:- Don't use pen or paper
The accompanying table presents the expected cost and revenuedata for the Tucker Tomato Farm. The Tuckers produce tomatoesin a greenhouse and sell them wholesale in a price-taker market.a. Fill in the firm’s marginal cost, average variable cost,average total cost, and profit schedules.b. If the Tuckers are profit maximizers, how many tomatoesshould they produce when the market price is $500 perton? Indicate their profits.c. Indicate the firm’s output level and maximum profit if themarket price of tomatoes increases to $550 per ton.d. How many units would the Tucker Tomato Farm produce ifthe price of tomatoes fell to $450 per ton? What would bethe firm’s profits? Should the firm stay in business? Explain.
1. Suppose a perfectly competitive firm is operating in short run. The information of MR, Q,ATC and AVC are 15 taka, 60 unit, 45taka and 35 taka respectively. Calculate firm’sprofit/loss and total fixed cost. From these calculations and based on all the giveninformation, can you conclude about the firm’s decision in short run? Explain your reasoningwith the help of a suitable diagram. Show all the relevant information in yourdiagram.[Q=profit maximizing output and MR=marginal revenue]
COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Cournot Model:In the market for a given good there are only 2 firms satisfying the demand, and their respective total cost functions respond to the form: CTi = 10Qi + 5 and the demand is estimated to be: P = 31 - QIf the decision variable for both firms is that the quantity they will produce and realize will be decided simultaneously it is asked to:(a) calculate the profit and reaction function of each firmb) graph market equilibriumc) calculate the profits that both companies will obtain in equilibrium
