- Suppose that the manager of a firm operating in a competitive market has estimated the firm's average variable cost function to be - 0.03Q + 0.00005Q² AVC = 10 – Total fixed cost is $600. a. What is the corresponding marginal cost function? b. At what output is AVC at its minimum? c. What is the minimum value for AVC?. An electricity producer has a constant marginal cost of production equal to $40 per megawatt. The residual demand for its electricity is given by P (q) = a−bq, where P is the price and q is the quantity of power generated by this producer. The producer knows the slope, b, but he vertical intercept of the residual demand curve, a is unknown. Assume A and B are greater than zero. If you get stuck, you may answer any of the following questions for special case where a = 80 And b = 0.5 for partial credit. (a) What is the marginal revenue, M R(q), for this producer? b) What is the optimal q for this producer? (c) What is the electricity producer’s optimal price? (d) What is the electricity producer’s optimal bid in a uniform price Auction? e) Suppose b is equal to zero. Would the producer have an incentive to submit a bid above its marginal cost? Explain.Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following as the Total cost: TC=50+ ½q2 Where q is an individual firm’s quantity produced.

- Suppose that a paper mill "feeds" a downstream box mill. For the downstream mill, the marginal profitability of producing boxes declines with volume. For example, the first unit of boxes increases earnings by $30, the second by $ 27, the third by $24, and so on, until the tenth unit increases profit by just $3. The cost the upstream mill incurs for producing enough paper (one "unit" of paper) to make one unit of boxes is $9.50. Assume the two mills operate as separate profit centers, and the paper mill sets the price of paper. It follows that the marginal profitability of boxes represents the highest price that the box division would be willing to pay the paper division for boxes.. Furthermore, assume that fixed costs are $0 for the paper mill. The following table summarizes the quantity, total revenue, and marginal costs from the perspective of the paper mill for selling paper to the box mill at various prices. In the following table, fill in the marginal revenue, total cost, and…Suppose that a paper mill “feeds” a downstream box mill.
