What is the profit-maximizing amount of each input to use now?Assume a number of street vendors sell hamburgers in a city. Each vendor has a marginal cost of 30 NOK per hamburger sold and there are no fixed costs. The maximum number of hamburgers that any vendor can sell is 100 per day. a) If the market is perfectly competitive and the price of each hamburger is 40 NOK. How many hamburgers does each street vendor want to sell and what is each vendor’s profit per day assuming the desired quantity is sold?b) Why is this solution not a long run equilibrium?c) Suppose all the vendors merges and thus appears as a monopolist in the market.

- Assume that a firm in a competitive market faces the following cost information. If the market price for this firm's product is $40, calculate the profit maximizing level of output for this firm using marginal analysis. It may help to create your own cost table and fill in columns for Marginal Cost and Average Total Cost based on the Total Cost information below. a.What is the level of profit for this firm at the profit maximizing output? b.To convince yourself that the quantity you found is indeed the profit maximizing quantity, try calculating what the profit would be at the next higher level of output. What did you find? c. What do you predict will happen in this market over the long run?Can these be answered as well? Derive the firm's average cost and average variable cost curves. What q should the firm choose so as to maximize its profit if the market price is p?Suppose an avocado farm has cost: C = 0.002q3 + 22q + 750 (where q is measured in bushels).
