Assume the natural gas industry is still living with the short-run supply disruption. Then, unusually warm weather causes demand for natural gas to decrease unexpectedly. Analyze the impact of this reduction in demand in for natural gas. graphically depict any changes affecting the market for natural gas and any changes that impact the individual firm. Show the movements of the curves (if any) and the new Short Run Equilibrium (SRE). assume the natural gas industry is perfectly competitive, demand is downward sloping, supply is upward sloping, and production technology results in traditional U-shaped ATC and AVC curves. market price is always greater than the minimum of the AVC curve.

Which statement accurately describes the firm's situation? = O The firm incurs a loss and is minimizing its losses. O The firm carns a profit but should increase output to maximize its profits. O The firm is maximizing its profits. The firm earns a profit but should decrease output to maximize its profits.

2. Consider a market with 90 firms, each firm has a short-run total cost function as follows: TC(q) = 5q2, and a marginal cost function: MC(q) = 10q. Market demand is given by equation Qd(p) = 200 - p. a. What is the fixed cost? Solve the average variable cost function in the short-run. b. What is the supply function of each firm? c. Solve for the short-run equilibrium outcome: P*, Q* and q*. d. What is one firm's economic profit in this market? e. Consider a different market structure, where there is only one firm, interpreted as a monopolist, and then critically discuss the impact on equilibrium price and quantity. Discuss total surplus for these two types of market structures.

Suppose a firm has a fixed cost of F > 0 and a constant marginal cost of c> 0. What can we infer about the short run and long run supply curves? Both the short run and long run supply curves will be downward sloping. Both the short run and long run supply curves will be upward sloping. The short run supply curve will be upward sloping, but the long run supply curve will be downward sloping. O The short run and long run supply curves will be identical. O None of the above.
