Consider the daily market for hot dogs in a small city. Suppose that this market is in long-run competitive equilibrium with many hot dog stands n the city, each one selling the same kind of hot dogs. Therefore, each vendor is a price taker and possesses no market power The following graph shows the demand (D) and supply (S = MC) curves in the market for hot dogs. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the market price and quantity that will result from competition.

The following graph shows the supply of (orange curve) and demand for (blue curve) satellite navigation devices.
Charles's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Charles produced five fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to six fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Charles faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Charles must lower his price from $160,000 to $120,000 per fire engine. Note that while Charles gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial five engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial five engines by selling at $120,000 rather than $160,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $120,000.

After moving into Schine, Dunkin’ reported that their (donut) market equilibrium occurs when 450 donuts are sold at a price of $1.50 per donut. They also reported that the producer will supply no donuts when the price is $0.50 and the customers will demand no donuts at $2.00, what are that supply and demand equations, assuming that both are linear
Imagine that you run the toll authority for a city bridge. You must charge all of your customers the exact same toll. Initially, you have set the price at $7 per trip. The blue line on the following graph shows the daily demand curve for trips across the city bridge. On the following graph, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the total daily revenue when the toll is $7 on the graph. Notice that when you click on the rectangle, the area is displayed.

To analyze this, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the total daily revenue when the toll is $8 on the graph. thousand per day, but when the toll is $8, total revenue is $ Based…
Suppose that a technological innovation decreases BYOB's costs so that it now faces the marginal cost (MC) and average cost (AC) given on the following graph. Specifically, the technological innovation causes a decrease in average fixed costs, thereby lowering the AC curve and moving the MC curve. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the following graph to indicate the profit-maximizing price and quantity for BYOB. If BYOB is making a profit, use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade in the area representing its profit. On the other hand, if BYOB is suffering a loss, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade in the area representing the loss. PRICE (Dollars per unit) 4.00 3.50 3.00 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0 0 MC 0.5 MR AC 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 QUANTITY (Thousands of cans of beer) 3.5 D 4.0 Monopoly Outcome Profit Loss ?

Suppose that the market for dress shirts is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. 50 18, 42 45 40 35 30 ATC 25 20 15 AVC 10 MC 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 QUANTITY (Thousands of shirts) For each price in the following table, calculate the firm's optimal quantity of units to produce, and determine the profit or loss if it produces at that quantity, using the data from the graph to identify its total variable cost. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce. (Hint: You can select the purple points [diamond symbols] on the graph to see precise information on average variable cost.)

In this case, the firm's fixed cost is…
Calculate Edison's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven frying pans he produces, and plot them on the following graph. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot marginal revenue and the orange points (square symbol) to plot marginal cost at each quantity. COSTS AND REVENUE (Dollars per frying pan) O 35 30 25 20 15 10 1 2 QUANTITY (Frying pans) Marginal Revenue -4 Marginal Cost Edison's profit is maximized when he produces frying pans. When he does this, the marginal cost of the last frying pan he produces is s which is than the price Edison receives for each frying pan he sells. The marginal cost of producing an additional frying pan (that is, one more frying pan than would maximize his profit) is than the price Edison receives for each frying pan he sells. Therefore, curves. Because Edison is a price which is Edison's profit-maximizing quantity corresponds to the intersection of the taker, this last condition can also be written as
The blue curve on the following graph represents the demand curve facing a firm that can set its own prices. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. # 345470 10 QUANTITY (Unita) *** TO QUANTITY (Number of units) Graph Input Tool Market for Goods Quantity Demanded (Lv) Demand Price (Dollars per unit) On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10 units of output. Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbo) to plot the results. Total Revenue QUANTITY() Ⓒ 50.00 Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 2 versus 1 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of…
The supply curves for the only two firms in a competitive industry are given by: S₁: P = 2Q1 S2: P = 2 + Q2, where Q1 is the output of firm 1 and Q2 is the output of firm 2. These two supply curves are shown in the graph below. Draw the market supply curve for this industry.
