Suppose a representative firm in a perfectly competitive, constant cost industry has a cost function
TC=4Q2+100Q+100
a) What is the long-run equilibrium price for this industry?
b) If market demand is given by the functionQ=1000?P, where P denotes price, how many firms will operate in this long-run equilibrium?
c) Suppose the government grants a lump-sum subsidy to each firm that manufactures the product. If this lump-sum subsidy equals $36/firm, what would be the new long-run equilibrium pricefor the industry?
