Consider a firm with the following production function:
If the input prices are 2 and 4 for x1 and x, resp, write down the cost function of the firm. [Write in the format C(y) = function of y]
Answer:
Suppose the firm with the above-mentioned technology operates in a competitive output market where the inverse demand function is given by
D-v) = 16 – 2y.
Solve for the equilibrium quantity. [Hint: the supply function of a competitive firm is the MC curve.]
Answer:
If the producer with the above-mentioned technology instead were a monopolist facing the same demand function, the equilibrium would be given by
Select one:
О а. (р, ) 3 (6, 2.5)
о b. (p, 9) - (8,4)
с. (р, 9) - (11, 2.5)
d. (p, q) = (6, 5)
e. (p, q) = (11, 5)
Now suppose producing in the market requires paying a Fixed R&D cost of K= 7.5. Which of the following statement would be true? [Hint: look at the profit for each type of firm.]
Select one:
a. Only a competitive firm would operate
b. neither would operate
c. Both would operate
d. Only monopolist would operate
