- Assume a purely competitive increasing cost industry is intislly long eun equilibrium producing 10 million units atca market price of $5.00. Supoose that increaae in consumer demand occurs. After all economic adjustments have been completed which output and price combination is most likely to occur ? 9.5 units at a price of $4.50 11 units at a price of $4.75 9 units at a price of $5.25 12 units at a price of $5.50Suppose the short-run demand for a product is give byQD= 200−2P. Supposethe short-run supply curve isQD= 3P−50. (a) What is the market clearing, or competitive equilibrium price and quan-tity. (b) If the existing firms’ average total cost is 40, and the industry is a perfectlycompetitive, constant returns to scale industry, in the long run willpricerise or all? Explain.Answer the following: 1. Assuming that the product’s price is P58 per pack, should the competitor sell in the short-runWhy or why not?If it decides to sell, what will be the profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing output per day)?What is the profit (or loss) that the seller can realize per day? What is the profit (or loss) per pack?A. Assuming that the product price is P42 per pack, answer the same questions in letter A.B. Because of increasing sellers of masks in the market, the product’s price further decreased to P32per pack. Again, answer the same questions in letter A.C. When is this seller going to shut down?D. Now generate the seller’s supply curve of mask in the short run.
- A price-taking firm in a competitive industry of a good that is continuously divisible (like sand) has a total cost function TC(Q) = 3.5Q^2 + 100Q + 500. The market price for the good is p = $240. a: Carefully write out this firm’s profit maximization problem, using the particulars of thisproblem. b: Give the marginal condition (equation) that characterizes the solution to this problem. Solvethis condition for the firm’s optimal quantity Q*. c: Calculate the firm’s maximized profit. d: On a graph with quantity on the horizontal axis, neatly plot the marginal revenue curve andmarginal cost curve. Show Q* on your graph. e: Label areas on your graph using a, b, c, etc. and indicate the areas that correspond to totalrevenue and variable cost.A market is in long-run equilibrium and firms in this market have identical cost structures suppose demand in this market decreases. Which of the folowing are coreet descriptors of what happens to tho individual firms and the whole market as the market fist leaves and then returns to long-run equilibrium? Instructions: You may select more than one answer cick the box with a check mark for correct answers and dick to empty the box for the wrong answers. 0 Market proe will decrease in the longrun. O Market quantity will remain the same in the long-run. O Individual firms' profit maximizing output will decrease in the long run. O Firms will exit the market inthe long run. O Individual firms' profit maximizing output wil decrease in the shon-nun. O Market quantity decrease in the long run. o Firms win enter into the market in the long run.

- In a market with a single price-making firm with total costc(y) = 2y, the industry demand is givenbyQ= 100−2p. a) Find the inverse industry demand by solving forp, then graph the inverse industry demandwith price on they-axis. b) How do you expect the price of the good to be relative to its marginal cost?c) How do you expect the Lerner Index to be in relation to 0 and 1? Will it be 0? Will it be 1? d) Find the optimal supply and the equilibrium price in this market. Does the price match yourexpectations? e) Calculate the Lerner Index and mark-up in this market. Does this match your expectationsfor the Lerner Index?Suppose you are a perfectly competitive firm producing computer memory chips. Your production capacityis 1000 units per year. Your marginal cost is $10 per chip up to capacity. You have a fixed cost of $10,000 ifproduction is positive and $0 if you shut down. What are your profit-maximizing levels of production andprofit if the market price is ( a ) $5 per chip, ( b ) $15 per chip, and ( c ) $25 per chip? For case ( b ), explainwhy production is positive even though profits are negative?Equilibrium Market in the Short Run A competitive industry currently consists of 20 producers, all ofwhom operate with the identical short-run total cost curve STC(Q)= 16 + Q2. The market demand curve for bolts is D(P) = 110 − P. Allof each firm’s $16 fixed cost is sunk. What is a firm’s short-run supply curve? What is the short-runmarket supply curve? What are the short-run equilibrium priceand quantity in this industry?
