Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, andhiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discoversthat it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such adecision.Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs andfound itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, anelectricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing itscurrent aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increaseits profit by simply reselling its electricity.When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. Oneimportant concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation inSpokane, Washington, entered into a…

The American market for shoes is a good example of monopolistic competition. In a situation where Adidas is earning a large economic profit in the short-run, Nikemay try to increase their advertising to capture some of that business, If Nike is successful in their campaign, what would happen to the demand curve for Adidas and the price at which they can sell?O a. The demand curve shifts up and to the right, and the price rises.O b. The demand curve shifts up and to the right, and the price falls.O c. The demand curve shifts down and to the left, and the price walls.O d. The demand curve shifts down and to the left, and the price rises.Oe. Nike cannot affect the demand for Adidas since this is a monopolistically competitive market.

Suppose the market for fast-food value meals is monopolistically competitive, with many restaurants selling their own brand of food. Assume the restaurants in the industry behave optimally by maximizing profit. The figure to the right represents the market for one monopolistically competitive firm's value meals. How will this figure change as the market moves toward long-run equilibrium? In the long run, O A. the average cost curve and the marginal cost curve will shift up because the firms are currently making profit. O B. the demand curve will shift to the left and become more elastic because the firms are currently making profit. nothing will change because monopolistically competitive markets have barriers to new firms entering. OC. O D. the demand curve will shift to the right and become more elastic because the firms are currently experiencing losses. O E. nothing will change because the firms in this market are breaking even. Price and cost (per value meal) 8.00- 7.60- 7.20 6.80…
