Consider a competitive firm with a total cost function given by TC (q) = 1000- Suppose that, in order to incentivize higher production, the government decides to refund firms for their cost of producing the FIRST q units produced, up to 1000 of them. QUESTION: What is the LARGEST market price at which the policy actually has an impact on the amount supplied by the firm (in comparison to the free- trade situation in which no such refund is present)?

Suppose you are the manager of a watchmaking firm operating in a competitive market. Your cost of production is given by C=400+2q2, where q is the level of output and C is total cost. (The marginal cost of production, MC(q), is 4q;the fixed cost, FC, is $400). If the price of a watch is $100, how many watches should you produce to maximize profits? You should produce______watches.(Enter your response as an integer.) What will the profit level be? Profit will be $___________. (Enteryour response rounded to two decimal places.) At what minimum price will the firm produce a positive output? In the short run, the firm will produce if price is greater than $__________ per watch. (Enter your response as an integer.
Kwami and Adzga quit their jobs and decided to start a piggery joint venture business. The company processes and packs pork for sale. The output from this firm is described by the Cobb-Douglas production function, q=K¹/² A¹/2 Where q is the number of pigs processed in a quarter, K is the number of hours invested by Kwami in a quarter, and A is the number of hours invested by Adzoa in a quarter. Kwami and Adzoa value 1 hour of their time at $12 and $3 respectively based on what each was earning before quitting their jobs. a) Obtain the number of hours that Adzoa needs to invest (as a function of q and K) for 150 pigs to be processed in a quarter b) How many hours should Adzoa invest for 150 pigs to be processed in a quarter if it is known that Kwami invested 750 hours? c) The cost function for this company may be written as, C= vK + WA where v and w are unit costs for Kwami and Adzoa. wwwwwwww www Substituting for v and w gives C= 12K + 3A Express this cost of production function as a…
Continuing from the previous questions where you are a manager of a firm is the exclusive manufacturer of a unique pair of rainbow shorts with demand and cost functions that are Q=100−2P; C=40+2Q2. Now assume that the firm incurs a one-time cost of $10 for a zoning violation. What is the price that the manager should now charge to maximize profits? (Just give the number, no need to include "$")
Suppose the government imposes a 4 dollar tax on each unit of good produced by each firm. Each firm's cost function is now C(g) = 200 +4g + q*/2, where the 4q reflects the tax payment. What is each firm's new supply function? Oq = p+ 40 Oq = p- 40 Og = p - 4 Oq = Suppose we are in a short-run equilibrium after the government tax and there are no firm entrants/exits. What is the new equilibrium price and market-level quantity? Note that the market-level demand curve is still the same, Qp = 2000 – 50p. Op = 16, q = 500 Op = 20, q = 800 Op = 22, q = 900 Op = 24, q = 1000 Suppose we are now in a new long-run equilibrium with the government taxes in place. Relative to the short-run equilibrium after the tax, which of the following statements is true? Oprice decreases, market-level quantity increases, and each firm's quantity increases Oprice increases, market-level quantity decreases, and each firm's quantity increases Onew firms enter the market
Suppose that the demand curve for tickets to see a football team is given by Q = 36,000 - 4p and marginal cost = 1000 per customer. (Ten dollars as this is expressed in pennies) This can also be written as D(P) = 9000 -0.25 Q. MR = 9000-0.5 Q Suppose there are only 45,000 seats in the stadium.

Suppose that the market demand curve for your product is given by: Q=$25-0.5P. Assume that the marginal cost and average total cost equal $34 for all levels of production. The marginal revenue curve would be given by the equation: MR= (Carefully enter your response as an algebraic expression, using the proper notation in the proper format.) The adjacent figure shows the demand curve (D) and the marginal revenue curve (MR) for your product. Using the line drawing tool, plot the marginal cost (MC) and the average total cost (ATC) curves. Using the point drawing tool, show the profit-maximizing price and quantity for your firm. Carefully follow the instructions above and only draw the required objects.

The Lead Zeppelin Company produces powered and steerable lighter-than-air craft. The company’s airships are specially lined and are therefore safer than normal dirigibles. The table below shows the weekly production of dirigibles, along with the associated Average Cost and Total Revenue figures (the Average Cost and Total Revenue figures are actually in thousands of dollars, so the $15 represents $15,000, but we have left off the zeros to save space). Quantity Average Cost Total Cost Total Revenue 0 -- 0 $0 1 $15 15 $10 2 $9 18 $20 3 $8 24 $30 4 $8.50 34 $40 5 $9 45 $50 6 $10 60 $60 7 $12 84 $70 The Lead Zeppelin Company has decided that it will produce at least 1 dirigible. Now the question becomes, how many more dirigibles should it produce to make as much profit as possible? Use the profit-maximizing rule to explain how many dirigibles the Lead Zeppelin Company should produce to…
A competitive firm’s production function is given by y= f(x1,x2)=x1ax2b If a=b=0.5 , the price of factor 1 is 12, and the price of factor 2 is 3, find the cost minimizing input combinations and the total cost of producing 40 units of output. Redo part (1), this time by first deriving the firm’s conditional factor demand functions and the cost function.
Suppose that demand for a particular style of handmade Rwandan baskets is Qd = 1700 – 10P. Each basket maker has the following cost function: TCi = 1000 + 50 qi + .1 qi^2. Given this information, find the market outcomes under the various market structures below Perfect competition, long-run. Given the same cost functions above, find the long-run equilibrium quantity per firm, the LR market price, market quantity and equilibrium number of firms. What is the profit or loss per firm? What is MCi and ATCi?
Consider a perfectly competitive market where the demand for the good is given by Q-769-5p, where Q denotes the quantity demanded at price p. On the supply side, the good can be produced by identical firms. The total cost of the industry as a function of total output, Q, is given by C(Q) = 5 Q What is the (long run) equilibrium quantity in this market? (As usual, you must enter a number below, not a ratio, not an expression with symbols..., just a number.)
