The marginal and average total cost curves for barbers in an area are cosntant at $12.00/haircut. The daily demand curve for haircuts in the area is given by: P = 22 - 0.001Qd where P is the price in dollars per haircut and Qd is the daily quantity demanded in number of haircuts. Haircuts are provided in a perfectly competitive market and each barber can provide exactly 25 haircuts daily. Suppose that the government decides to limit the number of barbers to 320. Each year, barbers must obtain a government-issued license to cut hair. Based upon the previous information: a. What will be the long-run equilibrium price for a haircut given there are only 320 licensed barbers?b. How much economic profit will each licensed barber earn daily?
