- 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.

- Suppose Jayden operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells phone cases. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for phone cases with a market price equal to $20 per phone case. The following graph shows Jayden's total cost curve. Jayden's profit is maximized when they produce a total of ____phone cases. At this quantity, the marginal cost of the final phone case they produce is ___, an amount ( greater or less)than the price received for each phone case they sell. At this point, the marginal cost of producing one more phone case (the first phone case beyond the profit maximizing quantity) is ____, an amount(greater or less)than the price received for each phone case they sell. Calculate the marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven phone cases they produce, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points to plot marginal revenue and the orange points to plot marginal cost at each quantity.a lobaster catch is sold by a fisher at $15 per kilogram the lobster fisher has the following total costs at each possible quantity $1500 at 0 kiklograms ,$3200 at 800 kilograms and $12200 at 1000 kilograms a) creat a table with following 10 coloumns :1 ) price 2) quantity 3) total revenue 4) fixed cost 5) variable cost 6) total cost 7) average fixed cost 8) average variable cost 9) average cost and 10) marginal cost .fill in this table based on the information provided in the question b) Draw the fishers marginal revenue ,marginal cost and average cost curves on graph ,plot only the two endpoints at 0 and 1000 kilograms for the marginal revenue curve and plot five points for each of the marginal cost and average cost curves for a total of 12 points (exclude the origin point for both costcurves) remember to plot marginal values such as marginal cost halfway between the two relevant quantities on the horizantal axis c) what is the fishers profit -maximizing or loss -mininmizing quantity…Suppose that the monthly market demand schedule for Frisbees is: Price $8 $7 $6 $5 $4 $3 $2 $1 Quantity Demanded 100 200 400 800 1,600 3,200 6,000 15,000 Suppose further that the marginal and average costs of Frisbee production for every competitive firm are Rate of Output 10 20 30 40 50 60 Marginal Cost $2.00 $3.00 $4.00 $5.00 $6.00 $7.00 Average Cost $2.00 $2.50 $3.00 $3.50 $4.00 $4.50 Finally, assume that the equilibrium market price is $5 per Frisbee.

Table 4.5 reports their financial performance. The “average cash cost” includes operating cost, royalties, and taxes, while the “average cost” includes the cash cost as well as amortization.a. Suppose that each mine produces at the rate where the (upward-sloping) marginal cost equals the price of gold. Illustrate the shifts in Goldstrike’s marginal cost curve, selling price, and production between 2010 and 2012. (Hints: The marginal cost curve changes over time. You have only one data point on each curve. Assume any other data necessary to draw the figures.)b. Use the 2012 data to compare the (i) short-run break-even conditions for Cortez and Goldstrike; and (ii) the long-run break-even conditions for the two mines.c.
