- Suppose Firm X is a dominant firm in a market where the market demand is Q = 1200 -2p. Once Firm X sets its price, those small competitors set their prices a little lower so that they can always sell up to their capacity. Assume the small firms’ combined capacity is 100 units. Further assume Firm X’s marginal cost is 50. Answer the following questions. Let Q^D be the quantity produced by the dominant firm. Write down the residual demand function faced by Firm X. (Hint: Think about how Q and Q^D are related.) Find Firm X’s profit-maximizing price.A market consists of a dominant firm and a number of fringe firms. The followings are the information about these firms. Total market demand: QALL=300 – (2.5) P The competitive fringe supply function (total): QF=2P-12 The dominant firms marginal cost function: MC = 12 + (1⁄2)QD. a) What is the equilibrium price set by the dominant firm? Calculate the total market demand at the price found. b) How much will the competitive fringe supply to the market at the price found in question 2(a)? c) How much will the dominant firm supply to the market at the price found in question 2(a)? d) Show the above answers graphically.Consider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 252 - Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market. Each firm in the industry has a cost function of TC = 196 + q^2, if q > 0 where q is output of the individual firm (TC = 0 if q = 0). The market is initially in long-run equilibrium. The government decides to regulate the industry by issuing licences to all firms currently in the industry. and not to allow any further entry by other firms without a licence. That is, the number of licences is fixed, and entry requires that an existing licence holder sells their licence to the potential entrant, leaving the number of firms producing in the industry fixed. Subsequent to the introduction of this regulation, the market demand curve shifts to P = 432 - Q. What is the value of the licence?
- Industry X has a market demand curve given by the equation P = 100 – Q/100, where P is the market price, and Q is industry-wide output.100 perfectly competitive firms currently operate in industry X. Each of these firms has a total cost function given by TC = 100 + 10q + q2, where q is the output of the individual firm, and thus MC = 10 + 2q. (a) Would any of the firms in industry X ever shut down in the short run? If so, what is the cut-off price required for firms to operate – Shut-down price? (b) What is the market output in the short run? What is the market price? How much do individual firms produce? Do firms earn economic profits? [Hint: you will first need to work out the industry supply curve.] *Note: when finding answers for this question online, they wrote to first find the AVC function for part a but I don't understand how they found that AVC function first- any help would be much appreciated!Consider a homogeneous goods industry where two firms operate and the linear demand is given by p(y1 + y2 ) = a - b(y1 + y2 ), where p is the market price, and y1 (y2) is the output produced by firm 1 (2). There are no costs for firm 1 or firm 2. A. What is the industry output? B. Suppose the inverse demand curve in a market is D(p) =a-bp, where D(p) is the quantity demanded and p is the market price. Firm 1 is the leader and has a cost function c1(y1)=cy1 while firm 2 is the follower with a cost function c2(y2 )= y^22/2 (image of function attached). Firm 1 sets its price to maximise its profit. Firm 1 correctly forecasts that the follower takes the price leader’s chosen price as given (price taker) and chooses output so as to maximise its own profit. Write down the profit function of the follower. Calculate the profit maximising quantity that the follower selects given the leader’s chosen price p (i.e., calculate the follower’s supply curve S(p)). Interpret the solution to the…Consider a competitive industry with a market demand curve of P = 252 – Q, where P is market price and Q is the quantity demanded in the market.

A perfectly competitive firm has the following total cost function: TC = 4,500 + 2q + .0005q2 where TC is total cost in dollars and q is the quantity of output produced. a. Assume this perfectly competitive market consists of 800 firms with cost structures identical to the one above. What is the equation for the market supply curve? Assume the market demand curve is: Qd = 5,600,000 – 400,000P where Qd is the quantity demanded in the market and P is the commodity’s price in dollars. b. What is the market’s equilibrium price? c. Assuming the market is in equilibrium, using marginal revenue and marginal cost determine the firm’s profit-maximizing quantity of output? What does the profit-maximizing firm’s total economic profit equal?
