The graph below shows the marginal cost and average total cost for Frosty-Cold, a perfectly competitive firm that produces bags of ice cubes. How many bags of ice cubes will Frosty-Cold produce if the market price of bagged ice is $2.50 per bag? Price per bag MC ATC $2.50 $1.80 $1.75 $0.50 Number of bags 50 100 120 150 a) q* = 50 bags b) q* = 100 bags c) q* = 120 bags d) q* = 150 bags

In a competitive industry consisting of 5,000 firms, the short-run marginal cost curve for each firm is given by MC = 100 + 20Q. The demand curve faced by the industry is given as P = 500 - 0.002Q. P and MC are in $/tonne and Q is in tonnes. a. Find the equilibrium price and quantity sold for the industry and for each firm. b. Find the producer and consumer surpluses at the equilibrium price.

Consider a perfectly competitive market with 1000 firms. The cost function of each firm is C(q) = 0.025q^2 + 200. The total demand in the market is given by QD = 60,000 - 10,000P. The supply curve for each firm is given by 20q. The competitive price in this market is HINT: you need to first find the total market supply: Each firm is producing 89.4 units. The competitive market is in long-run equilibrium: 4.5.
