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 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]

c) Assume that the market price for bagel services is 42 and store produces 30 units of the bagel. Calculate theprofit level. Is the store profit maximizing? Explain your answer. d) Go back to part c) and assume that there are 100 identical bagel store in the market. Determine the market supply curve. (You will obtain total market quantity, Q, as a function of price,P).

A local pizza shop has hired you as a consultant to help it compete with national chains inthe area. Because most business is handled by these national chains, the local shop operates asa price taker. Using historical data on costs, you find that short-run total costs each day aregiven bySTC = 10 + q + 0.1q^2,where q is daily pizza production.a. What is this pizza shop’s short-run supply curve?b. If the market price is $5.00, what is the pizza shop’s daily production quantity andprofits?c. Suppose the pizza shop wants to know the lowest price such that it can breakeven (i.e., maintaining a net profit of zero). Please help the firm find this price
