- Glowglobes are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. There are 18 firms in the market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=538+2q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=2+2q. Market demand is Q=488-P. What is the quantity produced by each firm in the short-run?arrow_forwardA firm faces the inverse demand function: P = 900-2Q+0.24⁰.5 The firms TC of production is given as: TC = 5Q² +12Q + A What level of Q. A, and P maximize the firm's profits?arrow_forwardThe table shows cost data for a firm that is selling in a perfectly competitive market. This firm's minimum average variable cost is $14 and has fixed costs equal to $100. Output 5 7 9 11 11 units 9 units Refer to the above cost table. If the price of the product is $26, the firm will produce Select TWO answers from the choices below; one selection is the number of units produced and the second selection is the dollar amount of the loss earned by the firm. ✔$100 $30 $28 $0 7 units 00 units 5 units ATC $34.00 30.00 30.55 33.09 $182 MC $13 26 35 48 for a loss.arrow_forward
- need help with this math problem, thank you in advance!arrow_forwardIn the short run, a perfectly competitive firm A) can vary all its inputs. B) can make only zero economic profit. C) can possibly make an economic profit or possibly incur an economic loss. D) produces the level of output that sets the average total cost equal to the market price. E) can change only its fixed inputs.arrow_forwardQuestion a) The average cost function of a competitive firm is AC= 5/Q+5+9*Q. The optimal quantity is: 10. How much is the profit? b) The average cost function of a competitive firm is AC= 3/Q +8 +9*Q The optimal quantity is: 3 How much is the profit? c) The marginal utility of x is 100-5x, and that of y is 200- 6y. The price of x is 1, the price of y is 2, the income of the consumer is 100. How many of y is there in the optimal basket?arrow_forward
- 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.

- Suppose a profit maximizing firm in a perfectly competitive market currently pays their employees $20 per hour. When their most recently hired employee began working at the firm, their hourly production increased by 5 units. What price must they sell their product for?arrow_forwardLasguns are produced by identical firms in a perfectly competitive market. Each firm's Total Cost function is TC=579+12q+q^2 and Marginal Cost function is MC=12+2q.
