- 7. You are economic consultant for Jack, who farms raw cotton in a perfectly competitive market. One day he gives you the following data at his present level of production: Output = 2000 pounds, market price = $5.00, total cost =$8000, fixed cost=$2000, marginal cost=$5. The minimum of AVC occurs at {1000 pounds at $2} and the minimum of ATC at {1500 pounds at $3.5}. Please help Jack with the following questions based on the above figures: a. Draw a graph for the raw cotton market and a graph for Jack’s farm current situation that includes MC, ATC, and AVC, labeling all relevant points on axes with numerical values. Is Jack maximizing the profit (minimizing the loss)? Why or why not? Label the total profit/loss area. b. Suppose more farmers enter the raw cotton market until the market price is $3.00 per pound. On the same graphs, show the effect of this change in the market place. Would you like to suggest Jack leaving the market in the short run? Explain your answeWhat assumptions are necessary for a market to be perfectly competitive? Explain why each of these assumptions is important. Consider the market for wheat which is a perfectly competitive market. Is the market demand curve the same as the demand curve facing an individual producer? If not, explain how and why they are different? Lastly, of the following industries, which are perfectly competitive? For those that are not perfectly competitive, explain why. a. Restaurants b. Corn c. College education d. Local radio and television It should be atleast 2 to 3 word pages with work cited page(Figure: Big Tree Organic Farms in the Short Run) Use Figure: Big Tree Organic Farms in the Short Run.

Use the orange points (square symbol) to plot the short-run industry supply curve for the wheat industry. Specifically, place an orange point at the lowest point of the supply curve and another orange point at the highest point of the supply curve. (Hint: You can disregard the portion of the supply curve that corresponds to prices where there is no output, since this is the industry supply curve. Plot your points in the order in which you would like them connected. Line segments will connect the points automatically.) 2. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the short-run equilibrium price and quantity in this market. (Note: Dashed drop lines will automatically extend to both axes.) 100 90 80 60 30 20 2 2 2 2 8 8 2 2 2 2 ° 0 Demand 350 700 1050 1400 1750…4. Profit maximization in the cost-curve diagram Suppose that the market for candles is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. Hint: After placing the rectangle on the graph, you can select an endpoint to see the coordinates of that point.7 A local tavern in a perfectly competitive market was in a long-run equilibrium. Then, a scientific breakthrough determines that beer prevents heart attacks, resulting in an increase in demand for beer. Describe the market processes that affect the tavern in both the short run and the new long-run equilibrium.
- What is the difference between demand and supply curve in short - run competitive firm? Illustrate with figure the demand curve in short - run competitive firm and explain the characteristic of demand curve in this market.1. The market for manicures and other nail treatments is very competitive. How would the following developments affect the number of nail treatments that a typical nail salon wants to supply in the short run? a. Heightened concern about their appearance causes people to want more manicures at a given price. b. The government requires all nail salons to pay a new yearly licensing fee to operate. c. Worse job prospects elsewhere in the economy cause more people to want to become manicurists, causing the wages of manicurists to fall.Costs MC (per pound) ATC AVC 3.00 2.25 1.50 150 180 225 Quantity (pounds) The figure above shows the cost curves of a perfectly competitive company in the apple market. Use the graph in Figure to answer the following questions. Assume the market price is $3 per pound. a. What is the lowest price at which the apple producer will supply output in the short run? $ per pound. b. What is the firm's profit-maximizing (loss-minimizing) output? c.
