There are two ma jor producers of corncob pipes in the world, both located in Herman, Missouri. Suppose that the inverse demand function for comcob pipes is described by p = 120 4q where q is total industry output and suppose that marginal costs are zero. What

A new production technology for making vitamins is invented by a college professor who decides not to patent it. Thus, it is available for anybody to copy and use. The TC per bottle for production up to 100,000 bottles per day is given in the following table. Output 25,000 50,000 75,000 100,000 TC $85,000.00 105,000.00 110,000.00 115,000.00 ATC Instructions: In part a, round your answers to 2 decimal places. In parts cand d enter your answers as a whole number. a. What is ATC for each level of output listed in the table? Enter your answers in the table above. b. Suppose that for each 25,000-bottle-per-day Increase in production above 100,000 bottles per day, TC increases by $5,000 (so that, for instance, 125,000 bottles per day would generate total costs of $120,000 and 150,000 bottles per day would generate total costs of $125,000). Are there economies of scale at all levels of output? (Click to select) c. Suppose that the price of a bottle of vitamins is $2.03. At that price, the…

Economics Consider a three-firm homogeneous product industry. The market demand function is X=1000-40P. The cost functions of the firms are: C1= 20X1, C2=13.5X2+0.075X22, and C3=16.3X3+0.005X32. Where, X=X1 + X2 + X3. 1. Explain the Firm's Cournot Behaviour. 2. Assuming the firms' practice on Cournot Behaviour, calculate the market price, outputs of the firms and their profits

Jamie Co. has a patented disinfectant to clean the kitchen of restaurants. The marketdemand for her patented disinfectant is Q = 1,000 – 0.2P. Jamie Co. has a totalcost function of C = 100,000 + 2,000Q + 10Q2.What is the profit-maximizing price and output level of Jamie Co.? Show yourworkings.
