A perfectly competitive industry has a large number of potential entrants. Each firm has an identical cost structure such that long-run average cost is minimized at an output of 20 units (qi) =20. The minimum average cost is $10 per unit. Total market demand is given by ? = 1,500 − 50? . What is the industry’s long-run supply schedule?

A perfectly competitive industry has a large number of potential entrants. Each firm has an identical cost structure such that long-run average cost is minimized at an output of 20 units (qi) =20. The minimum average cost is $10 per unit. Total market demand is given by ? = 1,500 − 50? What is the new long-run equilibrium for the industry?
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $100, a cost curve of: C = 0.25q + 50q + 1,600 and a marginal cost curve of: MC = 0.50g + 50. The firm's profit maximizing output level is 100.00 units, the profit per unit is $9.00, and total profit is: $900.00. However, if the firm wanted to maximize the profit per unit, how much would it produce? It would produce units. (round your answer to two decimal places) If the firm produced this output level, what would be the profit? Its profit would be S. (round your answer to the nearest penny)

In a competitive market, the current equilibrium price is $110 per unit. A firm that produces Q units ofoutput in this market has a short-run Total Cost (TC) given by TC = 300 + 10Q + 5Q2. What is the marginal cost for this firm? How many units should the firm produce per day?
Assume a competitive firm faces a market price of $100, a cost curve of: C= 1.00g + 25g + 1,600 and a marginal cost curve of: MC = 2.00g + 25.

There are currently 10 identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. Each firm has a short-run total cost curve STC(Q) = 20 + 4Q +0.5Q, where Q is output produced by each firm. Market demand is D(P): = 200 – 2P. (a) Find the individual firm's shoutdown price. (b) Derive the individual firm's short-run supply curve.
Kenan's stationary shop operates in a perfectly competitive market where the price for a pen (his only product) is $3. If the marginal cost function is MC=0.1q: (i) The profit-maximizing level of output is _____ (ii) The variable profit is _____ (iii) The producer surplus is _____ If Kenan also has a fixed cost of $50, then: (iv) The total profit is _____ If Kenan cannot avoid the fixed cost, Kenan should _____ Answer options (please only select from the following): -5, 0, 3, 5, 10, 30, 45, 50, continue to produce, shut down, other
The market for drones is perfectly competitive. Assume for simplicity that fractions of everything, including firms, is possible. We have identical firms, each with a Total Cost curve of TC=334+q^2 and Marginal Cost curve MC=2a. Market demand is Q=807-2P. If the Marginal Cost for every firm decreases by $10 at every quantity, what is the short-run market price? (You can assume that MC>=AVC at every quantity for this question).
A price-taking firm's variable cost function is VC = 20³, where Q is its output per week. It has a sunk fixed cost of $108 per week. Its marginal cost is MC = 6Q². a. What is the firm's supply function when the $108 fixed cost is sunk? Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. Q = (P/6) 0.5 for Pz $| b. What is the firm's supply function when the fixed cost is avoidable? Instructions: Enter your answer as a whole number. Q = (P/6) 0.5 for Pz $ 216 ✪ 0
Consider a firm in a Perfectly Competitive industry. Suppose the price in this industry is $26. The total cost (TC) function for each firm is TC = 0.05q^2 + 1,080. If the marginal cost (MC) function for the firm is MC = 0.1q, a)what is the profit maximizing quantity for the firm to produce? b)what is the profit for the firm at the profit maximizing point?
