- The inverse demand for tea is given by P= 10 – 0.04Q, where Pis the price per a gram of tea and Qis the total number of grams of tea brought to market. There are two tea shops in the market. Shop 1's cost function is given by C = 0.01q,?, where qı is the number of grams of tea it brings to market. Shop 2's cost function is given by C2 = 0.01q2², where qp is the number of grams of tea it brings to market. Given that the two shops compete by setting output (Cournot), answer the following. a) Identify shop 1's reaction function to shop 2's output to within 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.33). 91= Number - Number 92 b) Identify shop 2's reaction function to shop 1's output to within 2 decimal places (e.g. 0.71). q2= Number Number 91 c) To within two decimal places (e.g. 0.63) what is the equilibrium output level of each shop and the equilibrium per gram price for tea.

What is the level of profit at the optimum?A gizmo producer operates in a perfectly competitive market with a price of $100 for a can of gizmos. The gizmo producer has a marginal cost curve equal to 0.52q, where q is the number of cans of gizmos produced. The gizmo producer currently produces 192 cans of gizmos. Should the gizmo producer produce 193 cans of gizmos instead? No, the marginal cost of the 192nd box is above marginal revenue, so production is already too high. No, while the marginal cost of the 192nd box is below marginal revenue, the marginal cost of 3rd box is above it, so profit is already maximized. None of these answers. Yes, the marginal cost of the 192nd box is below marginal revenue, so production is too low, and profits are not maximized. 20 MacBook esc 20 F3 OOD F1 F2 F4 2$ W R tab 6 5 %A4 %# 3

He sells his lobsters to the local wholesaler at the market price p (in dollars). a) Find Joshua's short-run supply function for lobsters. (Hit: In this case short-run marginal cost is the same as long-run marginal cost.) b) Find Joshua's long-run supply function for lobsters. c) Find Joshua's shutdown price and Joshua's breakeven price (the price at which profit equals zero). d) Suppose the market price is $30, calculate his profit. What will Joshua do in the long run? Explain. 1Consider the market for ice cream. Suppose that this market is perfectly competitive. The cost structure of the typical ice cream producer is as follows. Average total cost is equal to 50 1 1 ATC(Q) +÷Q, average variable cost is equal to AVC(Q) =;Q, and marginal cost is equal to 2 MC(Q) = Q. Now, suppose that a new scientific study comes out that shows that soil pollution from rock salt (a key input for making ice cream) is extremely hazardous to human health. In response, the government decides to impose harsh re-zoning restrictions on any land once used for making ice cream. This reduces the market rent for land used to make ice cream, which in turn lowers the opportunity cost of operating an ice cream factory. This reduction in the opportunity cost of capital causes the total fixed cost of ice cream production to fall to 32, but there is no change to variable cost. Give formulas for the typical ice cream producer's new average total cost curve ATC(Q) and marginal cost curve MC(Q).
