- A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has patented a newprocess for making widgets. The new process lowers the firm’saverage cost, meaning that this firm alone (although still aprice taker) can earn real economic profits in the long run. a. If the market price is $20 per widget and the firm’s marginalcost is given by MC=0.4q , where q is the dailywidget production for the firm, how many widgets willthe firm produce? b. Suppose a government study has found that the firm’snew process is polluting the air and estimates the socialmarginal cost of widget production by this firm to be. If the market price is still $20, what is thesocially optimal level of production for the firm? Whatshould be the rate of a government-imposed excise tax tobring about this optimal level of production? c. Graph your results.A firm operates in a perfectly competitive market. The market price of its product is 4 birr and the total cost function is given by TC= 1/3 Q3 - 5Q2+20Q + 50, where TC is the total cost and Q is the level of output.a) What level of output should the firm produce to maximize its profit?b) Determine the level of profit at equilibrium.c) What minimum price is required by the firm to stay in the market?Consider a competitive firm with a short-run cost function C(q)=100q-q^2+(1/5)q^3+450(a) Suppose that the market price is $205.
