- A firm in a perfectly competitive industry has patented a newprocess for making widgets. The new process lowers the firm’saverage cost, meaning that this firm alone (although still aprice taker) can earn real economic profits in the long run. a. If the market price is $20 per widget and the firm’s marginalcost is given by MC=0.4q , where q is the dailywidget production for the firm, how many widgets willthe firm produce? b. Suppose a government study has found that the firm’snew process is polluting the air and estimates the socialmarginal cost of widget production by this firm to be. If the market price is still $20, what is thesocially optimal level of production for the firm? Whatshould be the rate of a government-imposed excise tax tobring about this optimal level of production? c. Graph your results.In competitive markets, there are many small firms with each firm unable to influence the market price. Suppose company ABX operates in the wheat market.

COST (Dollars per toy car) 10 1 0 10 I 1 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 QUANTITY (Thousands of toy cars) AC 90 100 Suppose that at the current market price of toy cars, the demand for Giocattolo's product is 10,000 toy cars per year in Italy and 20,000 toy cars per year in Spain. (Hint: Select each point on the previous graph to see its coordinates.) (?) Based on Giocattolo's average cost curve, within one factory it can produce 20,000 toy cars at S per toy car, and produce the total of 30,000 toy cars at S per toy car.

- Consider the competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of shirts this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit-maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price.A catering company producing fruit ice, in the Tandy school, has a production function q = 10min(k,l), where k is capital and 1 is labor. a. 15% If v = 81000 and w = 500 and P = 8600, where v, w, and P are as per the lecture notes, how many units of fruit ice will be produced and how much profit will be obtained? b. 10% Draw the supply curve for this catering company.The graph below represents sales per week of ABC Inc.

Your Cost of Production is given by C = 200 + 2q², where the Level of Output is (q) and the Total Cost is (C). The Marginal Cost of Production (MC) is 4q; the Fixed Cost (FC) is $200. Given: C=200+2q² q=Level of Output C = Total Cost MC = 4q| FC = $200 Questions: (i) If the price of watches is $100, how many watches should you produce to Maximize Profit?
