Answer the following questions and submit to the appropriate space on Canvas. Be careful to completely and correctly label all of the parts of any graph you draw. Please be a neat as possible. 1. The Wernham Hogg Paper Company is a representative firm in a purely/perfectly competitive, constant-cost market. The market is currently in a long-run equilibrium. a. Use the blank axes below to draw completely and thoroughly labeled side-by-side graphs for the paper market and for Wernham Hogg. Make sure that you clearly indicate the price and quantity of paper in the market and price and quantity for Wernham Hogg. b. Paper is a normal good. As the result of an economic slowdown, a large number of consumers lose their jobs and their paychecks. Wernham Hogg's paper mills continue to operate. Use the graphs you drew above to show how the fall in consumer impacts the following items in the short run: ome i. Market price and quantity ii. Wernham Hogg's price and quantity iii. Shade the rectangle representing Wernham Hogg's profit or loss c. Remember that Wernham Hogg is continuing to produce paper in the midst of the economic slowdown. What must the price of paper be for this to make economic sense for the firm?

Directions: Identify the Competitive Situation in each of the following scenarios. Consider the following hypothetical situations, identify the competitive situation represented, and then briefly explain what factors led you to this conclusion.1. Sam's Gas and Snacks is the only station located at the crossroads of a major highway and Interstate 17 going north and south. The closest town is located on the major highway five miles east. Their main target is travelers.Competitive Situation:Explanation: 2. Tender Care is a licensed day care center located in a city of 300,000 people. Tender Care has three centers operating in this city. There are about 15 similar day care centers operating in this city also. Some businesses have their own on-site day care centers for their employees. In addition, there are many individuals who conduct day care activities out of their own homes. Due to the number of day care operations, they all charge approximately the same price.Competitive…

1. Assume you have a perfectly competitive market with two types of firms. The only difference between the two types of firms is that the minimum average cost at which firms of type A can produce is lower than the minimum average cost at which firms of type B can produce. a. Give a graphical example of what the individual long run supply functions of a type A firm and a type B firm may look like. Explain the shape in detail. b. Based on your example, what will the aggregate supply curve of a market with 2 firms, one type A and one type B, look like? Explain the shape in detail. C. Assume now that all potential firms are identical. Evaluate the impact of a demand shock on the long run equilibrium market price and firm numbers. You must use graphical analysis and explain in detail.

you've been learning about what makes a market perfectly competitive, how a firm in a perfectly competitive market makes profit-maximizing decisions, and how a perfectly competitive market moves towards equilibirium. But how applicable is this to real life? For this discussion, try to think of a market (for a product or service) that is perfectly competitive or very close to it. What characteristics of the market make it like perfect competition? Are there factors that keep it from being perfectly competitive? If so, what are they? How close do you think the firms in this market are to perfectly competitive firms in choosing equilibrium price and quantity?
Tomas is the general manager for a local automated car wash. The market he operates is perfectly competitive. Every car wash in the area is charging $7 for a car wash, which is also the marginal cost per wash. What will happen to Tomas’ profits if he changes his price to $8. Why? What about the price of $5? What is his profit-maximizing price?
