1) Suppose you are given the following information about a particular perfectly competitive industry:
QD=6500-100PÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Market demand
QS=1200PÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Market Supply
C(Q)=722+(Q²)/200         Firm’s total cost function
Â
Assume all firms in this perfectly competitive industry are identical.
Â
a)Suppose the long run total cost function is given by C(Q)=6Q-3Q²+Q³. What will the price be in long run equilibrium long run equilibrium in this industry? Is profit positive, negative or zero? Explain.
Â
Â
Â
2)A monopolist sells in two geographically divided markets, the East and the West. Marginal cost is constant at $50 in both markets (marginal cost is also equal to average total cost). The inverse demand curve in each market is as follows:
PE=450-0.5QE
Pw=700-QW
Â
a)Â Â Â Â Find the profit-maximizing quantity, price and profit in each market.
Â
Â
b)Â Â Â Â In which market is demand more elastic?
Â
Â
Â
c) Show what will happen to the monopolist’s profit if it is to charge the same price in both markets (That is, profit if the monopolist treats the markets as if they are the same).Â
