Suppose a competitive firm has the following cost: output(units): 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 Total cost: $50 $52 $56 $62 $70 $80 $92 $106 $122 $140 4. How much profit will it then make at that lower price ($8)?
Consider the following costs of a typical firm in a purely competitive industry. The firm has no fixed cost given only the available information, what would you except product price to be in the long run?
The demand curve and supply curve for carpet cleaning in the local market are currently as follows: Demand: Q = 1,000 - 1OP Supply: Q = 640 + 2P The total cost function for the typical carpet cleaning company is: TC= 75 + 3q2 (so that FC=75, VC=3q2 and MC= 6q), where costs are measured in dollars and q is output per year. The market is perfectly competitive. First question how do I calculate the optimal output for the typical carpet cleaning firm in the short run and how many firms would operate in the market in the short run? Second, how would I compute operating profits and total profits for the typical firm in the short run. Based on the results so far, would you say that this market is at the long-run equilibrium?
You are running a chocolate factory and need to decide on the price to sell the chocolate as well as the quantity to produce. Demand curve; Q = 8.5 - 0.05 * P. The cost curve is C = 100 + 38Q. The business is a profit maximizer. 1) What is the best price to charge each week? 2) What is the best quantity to make each week? 3) What are the expected profits Is it possible to get this in an excel with equation formulas
Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firm—Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The price charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve:TC = 800000 - 5000Q + 100Q2a. Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax.b. Given Ajax’s pricing strategy, what is the marginal revenue function for Ajax?c. Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax.d. Compute Ajax’s total dollar profits.

There are currently 60 perfectly competitive firms producing output q. Their cost function is C=10+3q^2 he demand in this market is QD=1200-40p. Each firm’s variable profit is? Show graphically too! a) 48 b) 2880 c) 24 d) 240 e) 32
Babe’s Bats (BB) sells baseball bats for children around the world. The firm faces a demand curve of Q=10-0.4P, where Q is measured in thousands of bats and P is dollars per bat. BB has a marginal cost curve of MC=5Q. What is BB’s marginal revenue curve (equation)? What is BB’s profit-maximizing output? Show the profit-maximizing decision graphically.
A company is the sole producer of holographic TVs. The daily demand for these TVs is Q=10,200 - 100P, where Q is the quantity demanded and P is the price. The cost of producing the TVs is (note that this implies that marginal cost is equal to Q, MC = Q). What is the company’s total revenue schedule? What is the company’s marginal revenue schedule? What is the profit maximising number of TVs that the company must produce each day? What price should it charge per TV? What is the daily profit?
Doggy Treats is selling dog treats in a purely competitive market. Its output is 800 treats, which it sells for $10 a treat. At the 800-treat level of output, the marginal cost is $11, the average total cost is $9.00, and the average variable cost is $8.00. Should the firm increase output, decrease output, or not produce? Why? How should the firm determine that optimal level of output?
In competitive markets, there are many small firms with each firm unable to influence the market price. Suppose company ABX operates in the wheat market. The company produces and markets wheats at a Price = $20 per container. The firm’s total costs are given as: TC = 50 +2Q + 3Q2 What is the firm Fixed Cost? Why? Also, use a graph to support your answer. What price should the firm charge? Why
