Assignment 2: Market Forms
For this assignment you will do a significant portion of work in MS Excel and import it into an MS Word document for submission. You will use the data below to address Price and Output decisions faced by firms that are not in pure competition. Some numbers may be rounded.

Address the following:
1. Complete Table-1. Summarize your calculations.
2. Prepare a graph showing:
o Average Fixed Costs
o Average Variable Costs
o Average Total Costs
o Marginal Revenue
o Marginal Costs
3. Using the data in the table and on your graph, explain the profit maximizing, or loss minimizing level of output.
4. Define a normal profit and an economic profit. Are normal profits being earned in this example? Are economic profits present for this firm in this example? Explain your answers.
5. Given the data in the table and the graph, what type of market structure could this be in the short run? Explain your answers.
6. If the data in Table-1 represents the long run, what type of firm must this data represent? Explain your answers.

What is the pressure difference from one end of the pipe
: A piping system consists of 300 ft of 2-in pipe, a sudden expansion to 3-in pipe and then 75 ft of 3-in pipe. Water is flowing at 125 gal/min through the system. What is the pressure difference from one end of the pipe to the other

Discuss each of the directors contentions
: In response, the directors argue that: (1) no illegal activity had occurred; (2) if an illegal activity did occur, it was not at a valid meeting of the corporation and was therefore not an official action of the board; and (3) if they had to legal..

Determine the normal force in bar
: A pin-connected structure consists of a rigid beam ABCD and two supporting bars. Bar (1) is an aluminum alloy [E = 70 GPa] with a cross-sectional area of A1 = 2,400 mm2. determine the normal force in bar (1)

Describe a sensor that would give an electrical output
: Feedback control requires being able to sense the variable being controlled. Because electrical signals can be transmitted, amplified, and processed easily, often we want to have a sensor whose output is a voltage or current proportional to the va..

What maximum internal pressure can be applied
: If the maximum hoop stress permitted on the inside wall of the cylinder is limited to 30 MN/m2, what maximum internal pressure can be applied assuming the cylinder has closed ends

Describe an actuator that could accept an electrical input
: Feedback control requires being able to sense the variable being controlled. Because electrical signals can be transmitted, amplified, and processed easily, often we want to have a sensor whose output is a voltage or current proportional to the va..

Review membership requirements and member benefits
: Review membership requirements and member benefits and compare your interests and what you want from a networking organization to the benefits and mission statement offered by the organizations you identify (Costello, 2012).
