What is the short-run equilibrium price in this market? At this price, how much does each type A firm produce, and how much does each type B firm produce?
What would be the shutdown price for each firm? Explain. Draw a graph of the short-run supply schedule for this firm. Label it clearly.
The oil drilling industry consists of 60 producers. Find the market supply curve in this market, and determine the short-run equilibrium price.
Assuming that all of each firm's $16 fixed cost is sunk, what is a firm's short-run supply curve? What is the short-run market supply curve?
How many windows should Ron wash to maximize profit? Graph SMC, SAC, and the profit-maximizing quantity. On this graph, indicate the maximum daily profit.
What is the equation for the average variable cost (AVC)? What is the minimum level of average variable costs?
Draw the shop's total revenue and total cost curves, and graph the total profit function on the same diagram.
Suppose a competitive, profit-maximizing firm operates at a point. What does the short-run average cost curve imply about the firm's economic profits?
A firm in a competitive industry produces its output in two plants. What fraction of the firm's total supply will be produced at plant 2?

How would an increase in the price of labor shift the long-run average cost curve?
Explain why an increase in the price of an input typically causes an increase in the long-run total cost of producing any particular level of output.
Write down the production function corresponding to this process (i.e., express B as a function of C and D).
The rental price of a unit of capital is 2 when the wage rate is 1. Is the firm minimizing its total long-run cost of producing the 32 units of output?
