- Consider a monopolistically competitive firm that faces demand curve P=160-3Q and total cost curve TC=100+Q². If this firm is profit-maximizing, what is the value of the average total cost (ATC) evaluated at Q*? (note: I am not asking for total costs. It's the value you would mark on your graph when you plug Q* into the ATC curve).We now assume the firm producing a steel bar is under monopolistic competition. When the price of the steel bar is $ 30,000, the quantity demanded is 8 metric tons, a 100% change in the price would change the quantity demanded by 25%. The firms fixed cost is $45,000. Its variable cost in thousands at each level of production are 45, 85, 120, 150, 185, 225, 270, 325, 390, and 465. 1. At what production output should the firm produce in the long run? 2. At what price should the firm sell its product in the long run?We now assume the firm producing a steel bar is under monopolistic competition. When the price of the steel bar is $ 30,000, the quantity demanded is 8 metric tons, a 100% change in the price would change the quantity demanded by 25%. The firms fixed cost is $45,000. Its variable cost in thousands at each level of production are 45, 85, 120, 150, 185, 225, 270, 325, 390, and 465. 1. How much would be the consumers' surplus when the firm produces in the long run? 2. How much would be the economic profit of the firm?
- In a monopolistically competitive industry, a firm has a short-run and long-run cost function C = 150 + 20Q + 5Q2 The demand function for the firm's product is Q = α – P. (C = cost, Q = quantity, P = price, α = parameter). (i) If α = 116 short, determine the quantity, the price and profit of the business. (ii) What is the firm's demand function at long term equilibrium? MAKE A GRAPHWhy is there a price markup over marginal cost in monopolistic competition? a downward-sloping demand curve, price exceeds marginal cost The graph shows the demand curve and marginal revenue curve of Whitewater, Inc., a producer of rubber rafts in monopolistic competition. Draw the marginal cost curve if the firm produces 150 rafts a week. Label it. Draw a point at the intersection of the MC and MR curves. Draw a point to show the price that Whitewater charges for a raft when it produces 150 rafts a week. Draw an arrow to show the amount of Whitewater's markup. What is Whitewater's markup? Whitewater's markup is $750 a raft. 750- 675- 600- 525- 450- 375- 300- 225- 150- 75- 0 Price and cost (dollars per raft) 50 100 150 Quantity (rafts per week) D MR 200 >>> Draw only the objects specified in the question. 21Turn this assignment in on Blackboard by January 3, 1 PM China time. There are 13 questions.< 1. Suppose a city experiences substantial population growth. What is likely to happen to profits in the short run and in the long run in the market for haircuts, a monopolistically competitive market?
- If the price is less than actual total cost for a monopolistic competitive firm, does the firm make a profit, loss, or break-even?A firm in monopolistic competition faces demand of P = 446 – 2.5Q. Their costs are represented by (MC = 6Q+6) Find the quantity and price they should produce. (quantity- not price- your answer cannot have a dollar sign in it)Exercise A.4. A company operating in a market of monopolistic competition has an inverse demand curve for its product: P=315-3q, where q is the number of units produced of the good and P its price. The total cost of production of this company is given by: TC(q)=q²+75q+4000. a) To maximize profits, how many units of the good should you sell? b) What price should I charge? (c) What benefits would it reap? (d) Given the above information, how much would you have to reduce fixed costs for longterm equilibrium to occur? Represent graphically
- A textbook publisher is in monopolistic competition. If the firm spends nothing on advertising, it can sell no books at $100 a book, but for each $10 cut in price, the quantity of books it can sell increases by 20 books a day. The firm's total fixed cost is $2,400 a day. Its average variable cost and marginal cost is a constant $20 per book. If the firm spends $1,200 a day on advertising, it can increase the quantity of books sold at each price by 50 percent. Compared to the situation if it does not advertise, if the firm advertises,the profit-maximizing price: A)falls by $10. B)rises by $5. C)rises by $10. D)does not change.In a monopolistically competitive market in the long run, the demand function is given as P = 5.00 - 0.002Q and Average Total Costs are given by ATC = 6.00 - 0.004Q + 0.000001Q^2 . what price should be charged?A monopolistically competitive firm faces the following demand curve for its product: Price ($) 10 6. 8. 17. 6. 3 2 1 Quantity 4 6. 8. 10 12 14 16 18 20 Refer to the Table. The firm has total fixed costs of $20 and a constant marginal cost of $9 per unit. How many units will the firm produce? "Don't leave spaces before, after or in between your number.
