Homework 2.1 Suppose a business manager of the factory wants to assess in terms of elasticity of demand, whetherthe products that his business is producing are complement goods or substitute goods inconsumption. So please explain which are the factors need to consider the long-run average cost curve in terms of usage of input?
5:23 The amount that a firm pays for all of the inputs that go into producing goods and services is the: O average cost. O total revenue. O total price. O total cost.
22. The marginal costs, average variable costs (AVC), and average total costs (ATC) for a firm are shown below. In the figure, mark the quantity the firm will choose to produce in the short run given this cost structure and the market price. Does the firm earn positive or negative profits? Graph the area that defines the firm’s profit (or loss) at this rate of output.
19.What is meant by zero economic profit? If a firm earns zero economic profit in long run does it violate the profit maximizing behaviour of a firm in long run as if there is no profit then there is no point of production?
1. Suppose that the price of the firm’s product is GH¢30.00, how much will the firm produce to maximize profit? How much is total profit? 2. Produce a graph of Total cost, Total fixed cost and Total variable cost (on one graph sheet/excel).
Q1. The table below shows the short run cost for producing bicycles. Complete all missing values in table below: Marginal cost Average total cost Average variable cost Average fixed cost Total cost Variable cost Fixed cost Output Labor 0 $60 0 0 70$ $60 1 1 $140 $60 6 2 $210 $60 11 3 280$ $60 15 4 $350 $60 13 5 $420 $60 12 6 Draw the short run total cost curve (show the total cost, fixed cost, variable cost). Where the marginal cost and average total cost intercept? Explain the relationship between the marginal cost and the average total cost with the help of graph. Question 2 When do firms decide to shut down production in the short run? Explain it. How is the short run average cost curve and the long run average cost curve shaped? What is the difference between them?
5. Profit maximization and shutting down in the short run Suppose that the market for wind chimes is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. IMG 1 For each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the graph to identify its total variable cost. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (Hint: You can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the graph to see precise information on average variable cost.) *Points on the purple line are (1, 14) (4, 10.5) (6, 10) (8, 10.5) (12, 16) (15, 24) (18, 34) IMG 2 If the firm shuts down, it must incur its fixed costs (FC) in the short run. In this case, the firm's fixed cost is $44,000 per day. In other words, if it shuts down, the firm would suffer losses of $44,000 per day until…
Productive efficiency and allocative efficiency are two concepts achieved in the long mm in a perfectly competitive market. These are the two reasons why we call them perfect. How would you use these two concepts to analyze other market structures and label them imperfect?
Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC = 50 + q2 Marginal cost: MC = q where q is an individual firms quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand:QD = 120 P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently, there are 9 firms in the market. a. What is each firms fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost. b. Graph average-total-cost curve and the marginal-cost curve for q from 5 to 15. At what quantity is average-total-cost curve at its minimum? What is marginal cost and average total cost at that quantity? c Give the equation for each firms supply curve. d. Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the number of firms is fixed. e. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for this market in the short run? f. In this equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? Calculate each firms profit or loss. Is there incentive for firms to enter or exit? g. In the long run with free entry and exit, what is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? h. In this long-run equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? How many firms are in the market?
