(b) Suppose the market demand function is given by QP (P) = 20-2P. Find the long-run equilibrium price, quantity, and the number of firms. (c) Suppose the demand function suddenly becomes perfectly inelastic at quan- tity Q = 7. Find the long-run equilibrium price, quantity and the number of firms. (d) Suppose the demand becomes perfectly inelastic at quantity Q = 7, and the government decides to collect a per unit tax t = 4 from the producers for every unit of the good they sell. Find the long-run equilibrium price, quantity and the number of firms.

3. The industry producing and selling wooden pallets is comprised of 100 identical firms each of which has a short-run total cost function given by C's = 0.5g² + 10g + 5, where q is output of (standardized) wooden pallets per day. (a) What is the equation of the short-run supply curve for each firm? (b) What is the equation of the short-run supply curve for the market as a whole? 3
Q1: Analytical part – 8% Best Orange Juice Company is located in Oman. The cost function for total orange juice production (x) is given by C(q) = 0.25x². Their orange juice is demanded only in Muscat (Muscat demand is xm- 100-2Pm) and Salalah (Salalah demand is x,- 100-4P,). Therefore, the total demand is x-Xm+ Xs# If the company can control the quantities supplied to each market, how many should it sell in each location to maximize total profits? What price would it charge in each location? Answer:
(b) You are the CEO for a lightweight compasses manufacturer. The demand function for the lightweight compasses is given by p = 40−4q2where q is the number of lightweight compasses produced in millions. It costs the company $15 to make a lightweight compass. (i) Write an equation giving profit as a function of the number of lightweight compasses produced. (ii) At the moment the company produces 2 million lightweight compasses and makes a profit of $18,000,000, but you would like to reduce production. What smaller number of lightweight compasses could the company produce to yield the same profit?

Q1: Analytical part - 8% Best Orange Juice Company is located in Oman. The cost function for total orange juice production (x) is given by C(q) = 0.25x2. Their orange juice is demanded only in Muscat (Muscat demand is Xm- 100-2Pm) and Salalah (Salalah demand is X 100-4Ps). Therefore, the total demand is x-xm+ Xs. If the company can control the quantities supplied to each market, how many should it sell in each location to maximize total profits? What price would it charge in each location? Answer:
The supply function for a product is 2p - 4 - 10 = 0. while the demand function for the same product is (p + 10)(4 + 30) = 7200. Find the market equilibrium point.
Can you help with this question and show all the step please. Consider a manufacturer making leather cases with a market demand function (weekly) given by P=95-Q/Q+1 +5, where Q is the number of leather cases. (A) Show that this function is consistent with the law of Demand (i.e. that when Q increases, P decreases). (B) The manufacturer has weekly fixed costs of $20 and variable costs of $5 per leather case. Formulate the profit function from this information. (C) Locate the stationary points and determine the optimal Q that maximises the profit. (Use the first derivatives test to classify any stationary point).

Suppose that the seitan industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of seitan and quantity of 175 million pounds per year. Suppose a top medical journal publishes research that animal-alternative protein sources such as seitan could increase your expected lifespan by 5 years. The publication is expected to cause consumers to demand (less/more) seitan at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by ( attached image). Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of the publication In the long run, some firms will respond by (attached image) until (consumer demand returns to original level, each firm in the industry is once again earning zero profit, seitan populations grow large enough to support more firms, new technologies are discovered that lower costs) Now Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on another graph (same as the first) to illustrate both…
