Determine the equilibrium price and quantity in the market for good x. (Note: You are not anlayzing an individual firm here. You are analyzing the entire market). Suppose the individual firm's average total costs are dfined by TC =q3 – 3q2 + 28q + 2 b. What is the firm's demand curve (don't give me back the industry demand curve. The firm's demand curve is what I want.) c. find the profit maximizing level of output for the firm (I've given the marginal cost curve below). MC = q? – 6q + 28 d. If this firm is making a profit (loss) how much is the profit (loss)?

Signaling. There are two firms, A and B. There are two time periods, 1 and2. There is one commodity, that can be produced by both firms, at linear cost. So,if firm i has marginal cost i, then the cost of producing q units of the commodity is ciq. The inverse demand for the commodity, at any given moment, is 100 − 4Q,where Q is the aggregate supply at that moment.In period 1, firm A is alone in the market. Firm A’s marginal cost is determinedby Nature, either it is 10 or it is 2, each with probability 1/2. A knows it’s cost.Firm A produces some quantity in period 1 and firm B observes this. Betweenperiods 1 and 2, firm B decides to enter the market or not. After making thisdecision, B is told firm A’s cost. It is too late at this point for B to change itsaction.In period 2, if B is in the market, then A and B compete on quantity.(1) In words, what are the steps to solving this problem?(2) There are two possible quantity-competition games that happen in this game.Solve them both.(3) Now…

Assume the demand function for a product is given by QD = 20,000 – 10P + 0.4I, where P = price of the product, and I = average income of consumers. Also, assume the supply function of the product is given by QS = 30P. If the market for the product is perfectly competitive, and the average income of consumers is $10,000, what are the equilibrium price and quantity in this market?
Note that parts f) and g) do not depend on the other parts and could be completed before or after parts a) to e). Two different boutique wineries supply two towns: town A and town B. Winery 1 supplies town A and Winery 2 supplies town B. Both wineries have a constant marginal cost c = 20. Assume that consumers are indifferent between the wines from different wineries and that they purchase wine only in the town they live. Demand for wine in town A is given by pA=40−12qA; the demand for wine in town B is given by pB=70−qB. f) For parts f) & g) only, please assume that the total demand for wine (from both towns) is given by p = 125 - Q. Assume now that due to the new government regulation, the companies broke up and went back to operating as Wineries 1 and 2. Each winery can now supply both towns and still has a marginal cost of 20. If Wineries 1 and 2 decide how much wine to produce simultaneously, what is the equilibrium price, quantity sold and profit of each winery? g) For…
In the free-market equilibrium of a perfectly competitive market, the price of the good is 90 dollars and the elasticity of demand and the elasticity of supply values are respectively Ed* = -6.6 and Es* = 4.1 Suppose the government imposes a per-unit tax equal to 10.4 payable by consumers. Calculate the estimate of the price firms charge consumers in the tax equilibrium using the elasticity values provided above. Then enter that price value below.
Consider in perfectly competitive market the following demand and supply equations for sugar:Qd =1000-1000p where Q d is quantity demanded and Qs is quantity supplied. Qs=800+ 1000p Where P is the price of sugar per pound and Q is thousands of pounds of sugar. (a) Suppose that the government wishes to subsidize sugar production by placing a floor on sugar prices of $0.20 per pound.

Consider the perfectly competitive market for an agricultural commodity. The direct market demand curve is Q(P) = 720 − 15P and the direct market supply curve is Q (P) = 15P. The market equilibrium quantity is 360 units at a price of $24. Suppose the government imposes a price floor at P = $36.00 and uses a deficiency payment program to implement the floor. What quantity will be sold and what prices will consumers and producers face under this policy? The new equilibrium quantity is 540 units. Consumers pay $12 and the producers receive $36. Find the: a. Change in consumer surplus and producer surplus. b. Government Expenditure. c. Change in social surplus.

Consider a competitive market for the paper-making industry. The demand curve for paper is represented by the equation P = 120 – 2Q, while supply is represented by the equation P = 60 + Q, where Q is the quantity of paper (measured in tons) and P is the price of paper per ton for each paper mill (measured in dollars). Suppose the industry pollutes the environment by discharging waste chemicals that present a health risk to the public. a) What is the equilibrium price and quantity in the competitive market? b) Suppose the government determines that the social cost of unregulated paper-making activity is $30 per ton of paper. The government decides to internalise this activity through imposing the appropriate per unit tax on paper mills. What would be the socially optimal quantity of paper, and what would be the price for each paper mill?
