The following graph plots daily cost curves for a firm operating in the competitive market for demin overalls. Hint: Once you have positioned the rectangle on the graph, select a point to observe its coordinates. PRICE (Dollars per overalls) 50 10 10 5 0 MC 2 ATC 8 18 QUANTITY (Thousands of overallises per day) AVC 10 20 Profit or Loss In the short run, given a market price equal to $15 per overalls, the firm should produce a daily quantity of On the preceding graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to fill in the area that represents profit or loss of the firm given the market price of $15 and the quantity of production from your previous answer. Note: In the following question, enter a positive number regardless of whether the firm earns a profit or incurs a loss. The rectangular area represents a short-run thousand per day for the firm. $ overallses.
Assume the market for a good is perfectly competitive and the market equilibrium price is $5.00. The profit maximizing output is 200. At this output level, the AVC = $3.00 and ATC = $6.00. %D %3D a. Should the firm keep producing in the short run? b. What are profits or losses in either scenario? Suppose the market price of a good is $20 and TC=0.5Q2. What Q should a profit maximizing perfectly competitive firm choose? What are profits? Suppose that the long run TC function is as follows: TC=1000+10Q² (and total cost is 0 if Q is less than 0). If the going price in the industry is $300, is the market in long run equilibrium? If not, what will the long run equilibrium price be? Show the adjustment using an industry and individual firm graph.

Suppose that the jackfruit industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of jackfruit and quantity of 100 million pounds per year. Suppose a top medical journal publishes research that animal-alternative protein sources such as jackfruit could increase your expected lifespan by 5 years. The publication is expected to cause consumers to demand jackfruit at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by Shift the demand curve, the supply curve, or both on the following graph to illustrate these short-run effects of the publication.

If there were 20 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of titanium would be $_______ per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would________ (operate at a loss/ shut down/ earn zero profit/ earn a positive profit). Therefore, in the long run, firms would ________ (enter/exit/ neither enter nor exit) the titanium market. Because you know that competitive firms earn ________ (zero/ negative/ positive) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_____ per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be ______ (10/ 15/ 20) firms operating in the titanium industry in long-run equilibrium.
If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of steel would be $______per ton. At that price, firms in this industry would ______(shut down/operate at a loss/ earn a positive profit/ earn zero profit). Therefore, in the long run, firms would__________(enter/ exit/ neither enter nor exit) the steel market. Because you know that competitive firms earn______(zero/ negative/ positive) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_____per ton. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be_____(10/20/30) firms operating in the steel industry in long-run equilibrium.
