A perfectly competitive painted necktie industry has a large number of potential entrants. Each firm has an identical cost structure such that long-run average cost is minimized at an output of 20 units (qi = 20). The minimum average cost is $10 per unit. Total market demand is given by Q = 1,500 – 50P (a) What is the industry's long-run supply schedule?
(b) What is the long-run equilibrium price (P)? The total industry output (Q)? The output of each firm (qi*)? The number of firms? The profits of each firm?
(c) The short-run total cost curve associated with each firms long-run equilibrium output is given by STC = 0.5q2 – 10q + 200 where SMC = q – 10. Calculate the short-run average and marginal cost curves. At what necktie output level does short-run average cost reach a minimum?
(d) Calculate the short-run supply curve for each firm and the industry short-run supply curve.
(e) Suppose now painted neckties become more fashionable and the market demand function shifts upward to Q = 2,000 – 50P. Using this new demand curve, answer part (b) for the very short-run when firms cannot change their outputs.
(f) In the short run, use the industry short-run supply curve to recalculate the answers to part (b).
(g) What is the new long-run equilibrium for the industry?

Acompany that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who produced an average of 79 carts per hour. workers receive $16 per hour, and machine coast was $49 per hour. with the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $11 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour. a) compute the multifactor productivity (mfp) (labor plus equipment) under the prior to buying the new equipment. the mfp (carts/$) = (round to 4 decimal places). b) compute the productivity changes between the prior to and after buying the new equipment. the productivity growth = % (round to 2 decimal places)
