    This video reviews the mathematics of how a perfectly competitive firm maximizes profit. In this problem, the firm faces a market price of $8 and has total cost given by TC = 40 + 0.5q + 0.05q^2.

    He got .5+0.1q by getting the derivative of the cost function.
    40 is a constant so it turns to 0. Then u get the derivative of 0.5q which is .5.
    Then you get the derivative of 0.05q^2. You bring the 2 down so then it's 0.05*2q = 0.1q

    I was tracking along just fine until 1:30, where you came up with, .5+0.1q. Can you explain where this came from, I am totally lost.

    The ABC Company produces chemicals in a perfectly competitive market. The current market
    price is $20. The firm’s total cost is given by C=50+2Q+Q 2 .
    a. Determine the firm’s profit maximizing output and profit. Write down the equation for the
    firm’s supply curve in terms of price P.
    b. Complying with more stringent environmental regulations increases the firm’s fixed cost from
    50 to 100. Would this affect the firm’s output? Its supply curve?

    Hello sir.
    please answer this question.
    In monopoly with multiple plants , plants having same Marginal cost (i.e. same Prices ) produce different quantities for maximizing its profits?

    • @EconomicsinManyLessons

      Check this video out: ruclips.net/video/3jMXmP_wAL4/видео.html
      You will see that the marginal cost is the same for the last unit produced in each plant, but because the marginal cost equations are different, the output differs by plant.

    Please solve this for me
    A firm in a perfectly competitive market has the following cost function:
    C = 1/3q3 - 5q2 + 30q +10
    If the market-clearing price is 6, obtain the profit maximising level of output.
    or share me the solution of question with cube (q3)

    why firms in the perfect competition market have a profit?
    i guess the firms have profit in short run but not long run?

    • @msuz2
      @msuz2 6 лет назад

      yeah, the profit in LR will go to 0. they have some, but it is not a big profit. Because when the market goes down, there are many companies who closes etc. then it goes up and there are many who goes into the market again. because there are no barriers to get into the market. something like that.

    dude am not even sure where you get the value for
    TC = 40+0.5(75)+0.5(75)^2
    in what world would you get 358.75????? i mean seriosuly its a simple math and the answer of TC should be 2,889!

    • @EconomicsinManyLessons
      @EconomicsinManyLessons  6 лет назад +2

      YO B My math is correct! Your total cost equation is not the same one as in the video.

    • @yonasberhane6257
      @yonasberhane6257 6 лет назад +1

      since this is your video i wont argue with you instead can you please show me the calculation? of TC = 40+0.5(75)+0.5(75)^2 = ? step by step. because for me, TC = 40+0.5(75)+0.5(75)^2 => TC = 40+37.5+0.5(5625) => Tc = 77.5+0.5(5625) => TC = 77.5+2812.5 => TC = 2,890 unit! if there`s anything wrong i have made, please correct me. my purpose here is to know!

    • @EconomicsinManyLessons
      @EconomicsinManyLessons  6 лет назад +2

      YO B plug q = 75 into TC = 40 + 0.5q + 0.05q^2. Notice the last term is 0.05q^2, not 0.5q^2.

    • @yonasberhane6257
      @yonasberhane6257 6 лет назад +1

      oh f**k me! dame you are right! the value which i got was by squaring 75 and multiplying it by 0.5q but when i square 75 and multiply it by 0.05q its totally different. you are right thank you very much!!
