- Question 23 A competitive firm has a total cost function in dollars of the form C(q)= 100–4q + q^2, where q is output. Suppose the market price is $10 per unit of output. What is the firm’s short run point elasticity of supply? a) 20/7 b) 5/7 c) 10/7 d) 0.5 e) 2arrow_forwardConsider a competitive market in which the market demand for the product is expressed as P = 75 ‑ 1.5Q, and the supply of the product is expressed as P = 25 + 0.50Q. Price, P, is in dollars per unit sold, and Q represents rate of production and sales in hundreds of units per day. The typical firm in this market has a marginal cost of MC = 2.5 + 10q. Determine the equilibrium market price and rate of sales (output). Show your working. Determine the rate of sales (output) of the typical firm, given your answer to part (i) above. If the market demand were to increase to P = 100 ‑ 1.5Q, what would the new price and rate of sales in the market be? What would the new rate of sales (output) for the typical firm be?.
