In 2003, a single case in Alberta of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, also known as mad cow disease, temporarily shut down export markets for Canadian beef. a. Using firm and industry diagrams, show the short-run effect of declining demand for Canadian beef due to the shutdown of its export markets. Label the diagram carefully and write out in words all of the changes that you can identify. b. Although export markets eventually began to open up later that same year, the demand for Canadian beef remained low. On a new diagram, show the long-run effect of the declining demand. Explain in words.

In a purely competitive market at its long-run equilibrium, which of the following is not true? a The marginal benefit of the last unit of the product equals the marginal cost of producing that unit. b The maximum willingness of buyers to pay for the last unit of the product equals the minimum acceptable price for the seller of that unit. c Price equals marginal cost, and they are equal to the lowest attainable average cost of production. d The combined amount of consumer and producer surpluses is at its minimum possible.
All the supply of peppermint oil is produced from mint plants grown in one county by several competitive growers (the number of growers is not limited). The quality of land in the county varies greatly. Would you expect the long-run market supply curve to slope upward, downward, or remain constant? Why?
What type of industry has the characteristics where there are many producers, they are able to differentiate their product, the barriers to entry are low, and a firm in the industry has the ability to manipulate price to a certain extent. What type of industry is this? Will this type of industry be able to enjoy profits in the long run? Why? Also is this firm producing at productivity and allocative efficiency? Why?
If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of steel would be $______per ton. At that price, firms in this industry would ______(shut down/operate at a loss/ earn a positive profit/ earn zero profit). Therefore, in the long run, firms would__________(enter/ exit/ neither enter nor exit) the steel market. Because you know that competitive firms earn______(zero/ negative/ positive) economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $_____per ton. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be_____(10/20/30) firms operating in the steel industry in long-run equilibrium.
Only one firm able to produce profitably in a market given demand and costs describes a ____?
After the graphs: If there were 20 firms in the market, the short-run equilibrium price of copper would be $___ per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would ________ (earn a positive profit; shut down; earn zero profit; operate at a loss). Therefore, in the long-run, firms would ______ (enter; exit; neither enter nor exit) the copper market. Because you know that competitive firms earn ___ (positive; zero; negative) economic profit in the long-run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be $___ per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be ___ (10; 20; 30) firms operating in the copper industry in long-run equilibrium. True or False: Assuming implicit costs are positive, each of the firms operating in this industry in the long run earns negative accounting profit.
A product wheat is produced under perfect competitive market structure. The market demand and supply are given by equations below QD = 170, 000, 000 – 10, 000, 000 P QS = 70, 000, 000 + 15, 000, 000 P Find the equilibrium price and quantity. Suppose one firm leaves the market with the supply equation QS = 1000 + 1000P. Then find new equilibrium price and quantity and interpret your results?
Let’s consider an economy where all firms are favouring remote work to favour physical distancing and avoid the spread of a virus. To achieve these goals all firms receive a subsidy to equip their workers with a laptop. Consider that the market for laptops is in perfect competition and initially at the equilibrium. Explain the impact of the pandemic on the supply, demand, equilibrium on market of computers. Give a graphical representation
Using shifts in supply and demand curves, describe a change in the industry in which your firm operates. The change may arise from a change in costs, entry/exit of firms, a change in consumer tastes, a change in the macroeconomy, a change in interest rates, or a change in exchange rates. Label the axes, and state the geographic, product, and time dimensions of the demand and supply curves you are drawing. Explain what happened to industry price and quantity by making specific references to the demand and supply curves. If more than one change occurred, then decompose the change into smaller pieces so that your explanation has a step-by-step character to it. (Hint and warning: Demand and supply curves are used at the industry level, not at the firm level.) Describe how your company could profitably use the analysis.
Under certain assumptions, the perfectly competitive market can be used to explain the three conditions that satisfy general equilibrium and pareto optimality. Identify these assumptions and carefully discuss the three (3) conditions for Pareto Optimality. Please provide in - text citations and academic references

assume fresh vegetable market is perfectly competitive and a typical farmer was break-even prior to the price changes. explain and illustrate graphically, the effect of change in price on the short-run position of an individual farm whose crops have not been affected by the flood. explain and illustrate the long run position for a typical farmer.
