The total revenue curve of a firm is R(q) = 40q − 12q^2 and its average cost A(q) =1/30q^2− 12.85q + 20 + 400/q ,where q is the firms output. (I) Determine the level of output for which the firm's profit is maximized. (ii) What is the firm's maximum profit?
Prove that the marginal revenue curve has twice the slope and the same intercept as a linear demand curve (say p(q) = a - bq).
The market for paperback detective novels is perfectly competitive. We have two types of book publishers in the market- Small Press and Large Press. Each Small Press publisher's supply curve is given by P=76+5Q. Each Large Press publisher's supply curve is given by Q=2P-24 Suppose there is only 1 publisher of each type. What is market supply when market price is $60? Enter a number only. Remember, fractions of goods are possible.
Suppose you are managing a firm in a perfectly competitive industry. Your demand, supply and cost functions are given by: Qd = 35 – 2P ; QS = 25 + P ; and TC(Q) = C(Q) = 50 + 10Q + 2Q2 What is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? What is your firm’s MC function? In the short run, what is the profit maximizing level of output of the firm (i.e. how much output should the firm produce in order to maximize profit)? How much profit is your firm earning, in the short-run? What adjustments should be anticipated in the long run?
