question 67

Essay

Suppose that the identical firms in a perfectly competitive market for cakes have long-run total cost functions given by TC(Q) = 2Q³ - 6Q² + 10Q. Total cost is independent of the number of firms and total output in the market.
a. Describe the long-run supply curve for this industry.
b. Suppose market demand is = 2,500 - 30P. Solve for the long-run competitive equilibrium price, output per firm, and number of firms in the market.
