Question:
A recession greatly affects the daily market demand for Maine lobsters, which can be described as QD = 3000 + 250I - 250P (I is the average American income in $1000s). Thanks to the recession, that average income falls from $32,000 to $24,000. All lobster fisherman are identical and face the same relationship between their total daily costs and daily output (q): TC = 1/2*q^2 + 4q + 200, which yields a marginal cost of MC = q + 4. You should assume that market output is the sum of all firm output (Q = N*q, where N is the number of lobster fishermen). Use this information to answer the following questions. |
3.5. | After the recession, the 250 lobster fishermen continue to go out and fish. What is each fisherman's profit-maximizing output now? |
