A firm produces and sells two goods X and Y. Both goods sell for a price of $1 each. The production function for good X is $X = L_X$ The production function for good Y is $Y = L_Y K^{\frac{1}{2}}$ The firm divides its labour between the two products, $L = L_X + L_Y$ and gets its labour for free, but can only use 10 units of it or less $L \leq 10; L_X + L_Y$ The price of capital is $P_K = 3$ How much labour should the firm use to produce good X? $L_X = $ Number How much labour should the firm use to produce good Y? $L_Y = $ Number How much capital should the firm use? $K = $ Number How much of good X should the firm produce? $X = $ Number How much of good Y should the firm produce? $Y = $ Number How much profit does the firm make? $\pi = $ Number

A firm can produce any quantity of good X with the following cost structure: TC = 450,000 + 20Q, where Q measures units of output. A) The industry demand for good X is Q = 100,000 - 500P. At the profit-maximizing output level, calculate the firm's ATC of production. B) Suppose the profit-maximizing output level you calculated to answer part A is split evenly between two firms, each with the cost structure given by TC = 450,000 + 20Q. What is the ATC of production in this two-firm industry?

Text: TC = 100 + 20q + q^2 MC = 20 + 2q a) Is this firm operating in the short or long run? How do you know? b) If the price is $100, how much should each firm produce? c) If the price is $100, what is the equilibrium profit of the firm? d) If the price is $100 and there are 1,000 firms in the industry, what is the total aggregate equilibrium production and sale in the industry? e) If the price is $100, what will happen in the long run in this industry?
