Finding a life partner is a complicated process that may take many years. It is hard to think of this process as being part of a very complex market, with a demand and a supply for partners. Think about how this market works and some of its characteristics, such as search costs. Would you consider it a perfectly competitive market?
Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total cost: TC = 50 + q2 Marginal cost: MC = q where q is an individual firms quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is Demand:QD = 120 P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Currently, there are 9 firms in the market. a. What is each firms fixed cost? What is its variable cost? Give the equation for average total cost. b. Graph average-total-cost curve and the marginal-cost curve for q from 5 to 15. At what quantity is average-total-cost curve at its minimum? What is marginal cost and average total cost at that quantity? c Give the equation for each firms supply curve. d. Give the equation for the market supply curve for the short run in which the number of firms is fixed. e. What is the equilibrium price and quantity for this market in the short run? f. In this equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? Calculate each firms profit or loss. Is there incentive for firms to enter or exit? g. In the long run with free entry and exit, what is the equilibrium price and quantity in this market? h. In this long-run equilibrium, how much does each firm produce? How many firms are in the market?
The AAA Aquarium Co. sells aquariums for 20 each. Fixed costs of production are 20. The total variable costs are 20 for one aquarium, 25 for two units, 35 for the three units, 50 for four units, and 80 for five units. In the form of a table, calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, total cost, and marginal cost for each output level (one to five units). What is the Profit-maximizing quantity of output? On one diagram, sketch the total revenue and total cost curves. On another diagram, sketch the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves.
