. Problems and Applications Q7 Consider a monopolistically competitive market with N firms. Each firm's business opportunities are described by the following equations: Demand: Q=100N−P Marginal Revenue: MR=100N−2Q Total Cost: TC=50+Q2 Marginal Cost: MC=2Q As N rises, the demand for each firm's product . How many units does each firm produce? 400N 25N 25 25N What price does each firm charge? 125N 75N 75N 100N How much profit does each firm make? 50+625N2 1,875N2 2,500N2−50 1,250N2−50 In the long run, firms will exist in this market.

Respuesta :

Answer :

a.As N rises, the demand for each firm’s product will falls as a result of this each firm’s demand curve will shift left.

b.Q = 25/N

c.75/N

d.1250/N2 – 50

e.N = 5

Explanation:

a.As N rises, the demand for each firm’s product will falls as a result of this each firm’s demand curve will shift left.

b.The firm will produce where MR = MC:

100/N – 2Q

= 2Q

Q = 25/N

c.25/N

= 100/N – PP

= 75/N

d.Total revenue

= P + Q = 75/N +25/N = 1875/N2

Total cost = 50 + Q2 = 50 + (25/N)2

= 50 + 625/N2

Profit = 1875/N2 – 625/N2 – 50

= 1250/N2 – 50

e.In the long run, profit will be zero. T

Therefore:

1250/N2 – 50 = 0

1250/N2

= 50

N = 5

The answers of the various sub-parts are:

a. As N rises, the demand for each firm’s product will fall as a result of this each firm’s demand curve will shift left.

b. Q = 25/N

c. 75/N

d. 1250/N2 – 50

e. N = 5

The calculations of the various sub-parts:

a. As N increases, demand for each company's customers declines, leading each firm's demand curve to switch sides.

b.The firm will produce where MR = MC:

[tex]\frac{100}{N}[/tex]– 2Q  = 2Q

Q = [tex]\frac{25}{N}[/tex]

c.[tex]\frac{25}{N}[/tex]  = [tex]\frac{100}{N}[/tex] – PP  =[tex]\frac{75}{N}[/tex]

d.Total revenue  = P + Q = [tex]\frac{75}{N}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{25}{N}[/tex] =[tex]\frac{1875}{N2}[/tex]

Total cost = 50 + Q2 = 50 +[tex]\frac{25}{N} \times 2[/tex]  = 50 +[tex]\frac{625}{N2}[/tex]

Profit = [tex]\frac{1875}{N2}[/tex] –[tex]\frac{625}{N2}[/tex] – 50  = [tex]\frac{1250}{N2}[/tex] – 50

e.In the long run, profit will be zero.  

Therefore:

[tex]\frac{1250}{N2}[/tex] – 50 = 0

[tex]\frac{1250}{N2}[/tex] = 50

N = 5
