Suppose there are in total 3 firms in the market. Firm 1 decides its output first, then Firm 2 and Firm 3 decide their outputs simultaneously. The inverse demand function is p = 14 – 3q, where q = q1 + q2 + 43, and each firm's cost function is c(q.) = 2q?. What is the quantity that Firm 1 produces? Round your answer to 2 decimal points. Answer: The correct answer is: 1.04

The figure shows the market demand curve for penicillin, an antibiotic medicine. Initially, the market was supplied by perfectly competitive firms Later, the government granted the exclusive right to produce and sell penicillin to one firm. The figure also shows the marginal revenue curve (MR) of the firm once it begins to operate as a monopoly. The marginal cost is constant at $3, irrespective of the market structure What is the surplus enjoyed by the firm when it is the sole supplier of the medicine?

Let us consider an economic sector characterized by the following data. The (inverse) demand function is p = 20 -2g with q the quantities produced by the firms in the sector and p the price. The total cost of production for any firm in the sector is: CT(a) = q* - 4g +5 a) First, assume that there is only one firm, firm 1, in the industry. Calculate the price, quantity produced and profit of firm 1 in a monopoly situation that wants to maximize its profit b) Firm 1 seeks to deter the entry of another firm, firm 2, into its market through a sustainable monopoly strategy. Calculate the equilibrium price, quantity and profit of firm 1 given this strategy
Imagine that the cell-phone market is made up of one large firm that leads the industry and sets its own price first, while smaller firms in the industry follow. There are 20 such smaller firms, each with a supply function of q; = 67.50 + for i = 1,2, ..., 20 firms, while pis the per-unit price. Total market demand for cell phones is given by the function Q = 6, 700.00 – p. If the cost function for the leading firm is CL(qL) = 109L, calculate the following values: %3D Leading firm's production: q1 = (Round to two decimals if necessary.) Total follower firm production: qF = (Round to two decimals if necessary.) Equilibrium price: p = $ (Round to two decimals if necessary.)

Market demand function is given by Q=1200-70P Find the equilibrium quantity of a type A firm and its profit, respectively. Oq=4, profit-$4 Oq=2, profit=$4 q-3, profit=$6 q=5, profit-$23
Use the following to answer questions (1) - (14): Suppose the local market for flat glass, considered a homogeneous product, consists of two firms, A and B. The market demand is given as: Q = 40 - 2P, where Q is the market quantity and P is the price. A's total cost (TC) is: TC, = 6°q4, where q, is the quantity produced and sold by A B's total cost (TC3) is: TC, = 8q2, where qg is the quantity produced and sold by B [1] The market structure these two firms operate in is definitely not monopolistic competition.

Suppose a firm faces a demand curve for its product P = a - bQ, and the firm's costs of production and marketing are C(Q) = cQ + d, where P is price, Q is quantity, and a, b, c, and d are positive constants. Express the profit of the firm as a function of quantity. Suppose the firm faces a demand curve for its product P = 32 - 20, and the firm's costs of production and marketing are C(Q) = 2Q2 . Find the following • An expression for profit • Find the quantity that maximizes profit Find the corresponding price and profit levels
Consider a market for a portable hard drive. Suppose that there are 50 firms producing the identical portable hard drive, and so the market can be considered to be competitive. The market demand for the portable hard drive is given by QD = 1800 – 10P, where Qp is the market demand, and P is the price. Each firm's cost function is given by C(q;) = 8+ q? /2, where q; denotes the quantity produced by firm i. Answer the following questions to find the competitive equilibrium price and quantity. (1) (10 points) What is the market supply, Qs? (2) (10 points) What is the market equilibrium price and quantity? (3) (10 points) What is the equilibrium profit for each firm?
Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Totalcost:TC=50+1/2q2 Marginalcost:MC=q where q is an individual firm's quantity produced.
