Information for questions 23-25 Consider a monopolistic competitive market of a differentiated good, with identical firms. The demand for a single firm is given by p=900-1.5q (where p is the price, and q is the quantity). Note that this is linear demand, that is, p is a straight-line function of q. The total cost for each firm to produce quantity q is Cost=100+30q. That is, the firm has a fixed cost of 100 and a (constant) marginal cost of 30. Total market sales of this good are 21,840 units. For this group, only the exact answer is accepted, so double check your calculations.   Suppose the answer to question 23 was 455 (this is not the correct answer). That is, each firm produces and sells 455 units. How many varieties of the differentiated good will be sold in this market?

Information for questions 9-15 The market for paintings (a good with external economies of scale) is shown in the following figure. Note that one horizontal grid space is 20 paintings, and one vertical grid space is $2. Costs The only countries that can make paintings are France and Italy, and their Average Cost curves are shown, labeled ACFR and ACIT, respectively. Demand Two possible demand curves for paintings in France (labeled DFR,1 and DFR,2) are shown. There is no demand at all for paintings in Italy. The world demand for paintings is labeled DWORLD. Initially, all countries of the world are in autarky, therefore: 1) France produces paintings for its domestic market only; 2) Italy has no reason to produce paintings, therefore does not do so; and 3) the rest of the world does not have access to paintings.   For the numerical questions, only the exact answers are accepted. Answers can be made exact with the usual convention: if two lines seem to intersect at a grid point, assume that they do so exactly. For example, line DFR,2 and line ACIT intersect exactly at p= 14, and q= 500. Use a ruler if you need to! If a numerical question cannot be answered with the information given, enter 0.   For questions 10-12, suppose that the demand for paintings in France is given by curve DFR,1 and that the market for paintings opens up in the whole world.   What best describes the actual outcome after the market for paintings opens up?
