Suppose there is a perfectly competitive industry where all the firms are identical with
identical cost curves. Furthermore, suppose that a representative firm’s total cost is given by the equation
where is the quantity of output produced by the firm. You also know that the TC=200 +q^2+q where q is the quantity of output produced by the firm. You also know that the market demand for this product given by the equation P= 1000-2Q where Q is the market quantity. In addition, you are told that the market supply curve is given by the equation P=100 +Q
a. What is the equilibrium quantity and price in this market given this information?
b. What is the firm’s MC equation?
c. What is the firm’s profit maximizing level of production?
d. What is the total revenue?
e. What is the total cost?
f.What is the profit at this market equilibrium?

Great Eastern Inns has a total of 2,300 rooms in its chain of motels located in eastern Canada. On average, 45% of the rooms are occupied each day. The company’s operating costs are $39 per occupied room per day at this occupancy level, assuming a 30-day month. This $39 figure contains both variable and fixed cost elements. During February, the occupancy rate dropped to only 30%. A total of $1,074,330 in operating cost was incurred during February.
1. Estimate the variable cost per occupied room per day. (Assume 30 days in a month. Do not round intermediate calculations and round your final answer to 2 decimal places.)
2. Estimate the total fixed operating costs per month.

Question 1 In March, Kelly Company had the following unit production costs: materials $12 and conversion costs $7. On March 1, it had no work in process. During March, Kelly transferred out 26,000 units. As of March 31, 3,000 units that were 41% complete as to conversion costs and 100% complete as to materials were in ending work in process.
Compute the total units to be accounted for. Total units =

John is the owner of medium-sized company that assembles personal computers in Ghana. He purchase most of the components for the company such as random access memory (RAM) on a competitive market. In order to maximise profit in the short run, he employed an economist to estimate the demand curve, which he was able to use to derive the marginal revenue (MR) from his product as: ??=70−16?. The economist also derived the marginal cost function (MC) as: ??=6?−51.
(i) Find the total revenue function and deduce the corresponding demand equation.
(ii) Find the total cost function if the fixed cost is 400.
(iii)Determine the number of laptops that maximizes the company’s profit.
(iv)How much should the firm charge for one computer?
(v)Find the total profit at the profit maximizing level of output.
