- 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.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…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.

The market demand function for bicycles is given by P=300-2Q. The marginal cost curve for firms in this market is given by P=40+Q. Prices are measured in dollars. a) Under a competitive market equilibrium, what is the price of a bicycle? b) How many bicycles are produced under a competitive market equilibrium? c) Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus under the competitive market equilibrium Suppose that the firms that were once competing in this market merge into one single firm, forming a monopoly. This monopoly has a marginal revenue function of P=300-4Q. d) What price does this monopolist charge? e) How many bicycles does the monopolist produce? f) Calculate consumer surplus, producer surplus, and total surplus under the monopolistic market outcome g) How much deadweight loss resulted from the creation of the monopolist?Consider the competitive market for steel. Assume that, regardless of how many firms are in the industry, every firm in the industry is identical and faces the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves shown on the following graph. The following diagram shows the market demand for steel. Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the initial short-run industry supply curve when there are 10 firms in the market. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output since this is the industry supply curve.) Next, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 15 firms. Finally, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve when there are 20 firms.
