Suppose the market for apples is perfectly competitive. The first graph depicts the supply and demand curves for the market for apples. The second graph represents an individual apple grower. Graph the demand curve the individual grower faces by placing the endpoints of the firm demand curve in the correct locations.

O Macmillan Learning The graph contains individual supply curves for the only two firms in a hypothetical market for stuffed animals. Place the market supply curve at the correct location on the graph. Then, consider what would happen to the market if a third supplier enters the market, holding all else constant.

3. Price and output decisions for a monopolist II BYOB is a monopolist in beer production and distribution in the imaginary economy of Hopsville. Imagine that BYOB cannot price discriminate; that is, it sells its beer at the same price per can to all customers. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), marginal revenue (MR), average total cost (ATC), and demand (D) for beer in this market. Place the black point (plus symbol) on the graph to indicate the profit-maximising 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 its loss.

Assume that the market for pasta is in long-run equilibrium and that the pasta industry is a constant-cost industry. Explain with a graph and words what will happen to the price and quantity in the market when the demand for pasta decreases.
Show what happens in the short run on both graphs when a new medical study shows soybeans to be highly carcinogenic. On the market graph, you will shift a curve or curves. On the firm's graph, use Price 2 to draw a new price line for the firm. On both graphs, indicate the new equilibrium point with point B. Now, show the changes that get both graphs back to long‑run equilibrium. Use shift(s) for the market and Price 3 for the firm. Indicate the new long‑run equilibrium with point C.
Please graph what the market looks like with a short decrease in demand and what one firm looks like with a short run decrease in demand. Please make sure to graph your answer with all necessary labeling.
Suppose Eileen runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20 per shirt. The following graph shows Eileen's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven (inclusive) that Eileen produces. 200 175 Total Revenue 150 125 Total Cost Profit 100 50 25 -25 1 3 4 6 7 QUANTITY (Shirts) Calculate Eileen's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven shirts she 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. (?) 40 Marginal Revenue Marginal Cost 1. 5 6 7 8 QUANTITY (Shirts) Eileen's profit is maximized when she produces shirts. When she does this, the marginal cost of the last shirt she produces is $ which is v than the price Eileen receives…
Use the photos to solve the problem below exercise 14 Imagine that firm X chooses their quantity first, then firm Y observes the quantity of firm X and chooses their own quantity. What quantities will they end up choosing? Is there a first or second-mover advantage here? [You may assume that firm X can only choose quantities that are multiples of 200. This prevents you from having to deal with prices that are not on the schedule. Also it means you've done all the busy work already--assuming you did the assignment last week.....and got it right. So this shouldn't require a lot of calculations, just a little thinking about how equilibrium works in a sequential-move game. Oh, and just give me the quantity for each firm, don't worry about giving me a complete strategy for firm Y.]
Will, Jill, and Phil are all wheat farmers. The wheat industry is perfectly (purely) competitive. The first chart shows how much each farmer produces at different price levels. The second chart shows each farmer's minimum average total cost (ATC), average variable cost (AVC), and marginal cost (MC). Based on this data (assuming these three are the only producers), answer the questions that follow. Short-run quantity supplied Price Will Jill Phil $2.00 4 2 0 $4.00 6 4 2 $6.00 9 5 4 $8.00 12 8 6 Firm a. What is the cause of the divergence in the short-run Minimum ATC and long-run supply curves?
