Consider a perfectly competitive market in which each firm's short-run total cost function is C = 64 + 15q + q2, where q is the

number of units of output produced. The associated marginal cost curve is MC = 15 + 2q. In the short run each firm is willing to supply a positive amount of output at any price above . (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places.) If the market price is $22, each firm will produce 3.5 units in the short-run. (Enter your response as a real number rounded to one decimal place.) Each firm earns a profit of . (Enter your response as a real number rounded to two decimal places, and use a negative sign if the firm has a loss rather than a profit.)

Answer:

The firm is having a negative profit or loss of $51.75.

Explanation:

The cost function of a perfectly competitive firm is given as C = 64 + 15q + q2.  

The marginal cost is MC = 15 + 2q.  

The market price of the product is given as $22.  

Each firm is producing 3.5 units in the short run.  

The profit or loss to the firm is the difference between total revenue earned and the total cost incurred.  

Total cost

= 64 + 15q + q2

= 64 + 15\times 3.5 + 3.5^{2}

= 64 + 52.5 + 12.25

= 128.75

Total revenue

= Price \times Quantity

= $22 \times 3.5

= $77

Profits  

= Total revenue - Total cost

= $77 - $128.75

= - $51.75

QUESTION 25 A perfectly competitive firm faces a __________ demand curve. a. downward-sloping b. unit-elastic c. nonlinear d. pe
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": perfectly elastic.

Explanation:

Perfect Competition is a theoretical market system where competition is at its highest level as possible. Perfectly competitive markets are characterized by:

  • <em>All companies offer an equivalent product.</em>
  • <em>All companies are price takers.</em>
  • <em>All companies have a fairly small market share.</em>
  • <em>Buyers have full quality and pricing knowledge.</em>
  • <em>The company has low barriers or no barriers to entering and leaving an industry .</em>

<em>Plotted in a graph, perfectly competitive goods have a horizontal curve. This is because at any given price any quantity can be demanded. Thus, the curve of perfectly competitive firms is </em><u><em>perfectly elastic</em></u><em>.</em>

You want to purchase a new car, and you are willing to pay $19,970. If you can invest at 10% per year and you currently have $15
andrezito [222]

Answer:

It will take 3 years to have enough money to purchase the car.

Explanation:

We can use either Compounding or Discounting Formula to determine the time it will take to make $19,970 from $15,000 when the investment rate is 10%. Lets go with the Compounding Formula:

                           Future Value = Present Value * (1 + i) ^ n

<u>Re-arrange equation for "n" which is the Time Period:</u>

⇒ FV / PV = (1 + i) ^ n

Taking log on both sides;

⇒ log (FV / PV) = log (1 + i) ^ n

OR log (FV / PV) = n log (1 + i)

OR n = log (FV / PV) / log (1 + i)

Simply put values now;

⇒ n = log (19,970 / 15,000) / log (1 + 10%) = log (1.33) / log (1.1) = .12 / .04

OR n = 3

After John worked at a job for 10 years, his salary doubled. If he started at $x, his salary after 10 years is _____.
arlik [135]
What does it mean that his salary doubled?

this means that for example, if it was 1000 dollars, it would be 2000 dollars now, and it if was 2000 dollars, it would be 4000 dollars now.

This can be written down as $2x where x is the initial salary.  (so if x=1000, the new salary is 2x=2*1000=2000
