7. Short-run and long-run effects of a shift in demand Suppose that the chicken industry is in long-run equilibrium at a price of $5 per pound of chicken and a quantity of 350 million pounds per year. Suppose the Surgeon General issues a report saying that eating chicken is good for your health. The Surgeon General's report will cause consumers to demand chicken 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 Surgeon General's report. 10 9 Supply Demand 8 7 Supply 3 Demand 2 1 70 140 210 280 350 420 490 560 630 700 QUANTITY (Millions of pounds) In the long run, some firms will respond by until PRICE (Dollars per pound) CO
3] Assume several identical firms have the short run production function Q = √40L and pay a wage of 10 for each unit of labor employed. Fixed costs for each firm are 100. The market demand for the good is Qd = 100,000.25P. How many firms are in the industry in the long run?
11. Problems and Applications Q11 Suppose that each firm in a competitive industry has the following costs: Total Cost: TC = 50 + q? Marginal Cost: MC = q where q is an individual firm's quantity produced. The market demand curve for this product is: Demand Qp = 120 – P where P is the price and Q is the total quantity of the good. Each firm's fixed cost is $ What is each firm's variable cost? 50 + 9
1.- A company that works in a perfectly competitive market has a total cost function: TC = Q3 - 36Q2 + 540Q + 600 The supply and demand functions in that market are: QS = 5P -500 Qd = 4,000 -10P a) How much should you produce to maximize your profits? b) Find what benefit you will get c) Calculate the closing point for the company d) Represent graphically the market equilibrium and that of the company, including the closing point e) Locate the rectangle that represents profits on the company's equilibrium graph. Calculate your área considering the values taken by the base and the height. Validate that it reaches the same result (or very close) to the one obtained in part b).

Each firm pays a wage of w for each unit of labor employed and fixed costs are 10. a) Assume the firm faces a tax, t, on its output. Determine how a change in this tax will affect output ( b) Assume the firm faces a tax, t, on its profit. Determine how a change in this tax will affect output (2). c) based on your answers above, which of these two taxes is preferred by a government interested in minimizing the harm to workers in the industry?

At the current short-run price P, firm Alpha optimally chooses to produce q=100, but it has a negative profit. Then we can conclude that AMC>P B AVC>P>AC CAC>AVC>P DP>AVC> AC E AC>P> AVC
