- Firms ill a perfectly competitive market are said to be price takers that is, once the market determines an equilibrium price for the product, firms must accept this price. If you sell a product in a perfectly competitive market, but you are not happy with its price, would you raise the price, even by a cent?COURSE: MICROECONOMICS - Bertrand's ModelAssume that a market is supplied by 2 companies, whose total costs are: CTi = 100Respective demand of each is: q1 = 120 - 2p1 + p2 and q2 = 120 - 2p2 + p1It is requested to:(a) calculate the firms' profit and reaction function.(b) plot the market equilibrium price and reaction function(d) calculate equilibrium quantity produced by each firm(e) determine profits that both firms will have at equilibrium.Be sure to label the graphs. Suppose in the competitive market for a good known as “Tovars” that there are 5,000 firms. Assuming each firm is at a point where P=ATC. Suddenly, a huge number of entrepreneurs enters the market so the number of firms increases by 1,000. a. Please draw a graph showing the short run effect. Please label the price and quantities initially as P1, q1, Q1 and the short run price and quantities as P2, q2, Q2 b. On the graph in a, please show the long run effect. Please label the long run price and quantities as P3, q3, Q3. Relative to the initial equilibrium (before the entrance of 1,000 firms), What happens to the P? What happens to the q? What happens to the Q?
- Consider the competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of shirts this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price.Consider the market for tilapia. Ripple Rock Fish Farms, a small family fishery in Ohio, and The Fishin’ Company, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of tilapia. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the accompanying graph. a. Suppose the market price of tilapia is $2.50 per pound. Move point A to Ripple Rock’s quantity sold. Move point B to The Fishin’ Company’s quantity sold. b. How many pounds of tilapia do they collectively supply?________thousand pounds c. To achieve efficient production, The Fishin’ Company should supply _____ ("more", or "less", or "the same") it is currently producing, and Ripple Rock should supply __________ ("more", or "less", or "the same") it is currently producing.Consider the table of marginal costs of producing t-shirts in a perfectly competitive market below.

The equilibrium price at this market is $2.5. At this price, is the firm earning economic profit or is itincurring economic losses?b. Is the firm operating in a competitive market based on the given information? Why?c. Suppose the price of raspberries increases to $5. How would you answer a. and b. in this case?d. If the market is indeed competitive, what will happen after the price increase in c.? What will bethe final price and the long-term profit of the firm?Show in graph a consumers’ surplus when the market is perfectly competitive and when its monoplized.
- usiness EconomicsQ&A LibraryTwo firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in the industry that manufacture this product. Their marginal cost (MC) is equal to their average cost (AC) and it is constant at MC = AC = X, for both firms. Market demand is given as Q = Y – 2P (where P = price and Q = quantity). Select any value for X between [21 – 69] and any value for Y between [501 – 999]. Using this information, calculate the Industry Price, Industry Output, Industry Profit, Consumer Surplus and Deadweight Loss under each of the following models: (a) Cournot Model Two firms A and B produce an identical product (Note: Industry Output = Q). The firms have to decide how much output qA and qB (Note: qA = Firm A Output; qB = Firm B Output) they must produce since they are the only two firms in…Assuming perfect competition in the market for Good A, let's assume that the equilibrium market price has been established. Assuming all other conditions remain constant (under the ceteris paribus assumption), let's suppose that the price of Good B, which is a substitute for Good A, increases. In this case, how does the equilibrium market price and quantity of Good A change?
