Consider a competitive constant-cost industry in which each firm's marginal and average costs are given by the formulas MC = 4q and AC = 2q + 50/q, where q represents the quantity supplied by the firm. i) Determine the quantity supplied by each firm in long-run equilibrium, and determine the firms' break-even price.
Consider a perfectly competitive market with similar firms. Assume the total demand in the market is MWTP = 93 - 3Q. Each firm's total cost is TC = q^3 - 2q^2 +4q and its marginal cost is MC = 4 - 4q +3q^2. What is the long-run number of firms in the market? Decimals are possible. Answer to the second decimal place, and do not round until your final answer!
