Suppose Amari operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells phone cases. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for phone cases with a market price equal to $20 per phone case. The following graph shows Amari's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for phone cases for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Amari produces.

Austin is a dot-com entrepreneur who has established a Web site at which people can design and buy awatch. Austin pays $900 a month for a Web server and Internet connection. The watches that customers design are made to order by another firm, and Austin pays this firm $120 a watch. Austin has no other costs. The table shows the demand schedule for Austin's watches. Austin is making an economic profit. In the long run, the demand for Austin's watches OA. decreases; incurs an economic loss OB. increases; makes zero economic profit C. increases, increases his economic profit D. decreases; makes zero economic profit OE. decreases; shuts down and in long-run equilibrium, Austin MIER Price (dollars per watch) 200 160 120 80 40 0 Quantity (watches per month) 0 40 80 120 160 200
Consider the perfectly competitive market for sports jackets. The following graph shows the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves for a typical firm in the industry.
What are the four conditions of a purely competitive market?
The following graph shows the demand curve, as well as the AVC, ATC and MC curves of a company selling rolled oats in a perfectly competitive market. Use the graph to answer the questions. The goal of the company is to maximize its profit. How many boxes of rolled oats should it sell to attain this goal? What price will it charge? How much profit does this firm make per month? Will this company produce or shut down in the short run? Why? Will this firm exit the market for rolled oats in the long run or not? Why?

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.
Attempts: Average: 12 5. Profit maximization and shutting down in the short run Suppose that the market for sports watches is a competitive market. The following graph shows the daily cost curves of a firm operating in this market. V ATC AVC PRICE (Dolars per watch) 100 5 MO 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 QUANTITY(Thousands of watches) 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 previous graph to identify its total variable cost. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will produce.

The graph titled Soy Bean Market is a graph of the market for soy beans, a perfectly (purely) competitive market. The graph titled Roy's Soys depicts an individual firm in the market for soy beans. The market and the firm are currently in long-run equilibrium at Point A. Show what happens in the short run on both graphs when a new medical study shows soy beans to be an effective weight-loss supplement. On the market graph, 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 points with the points labeled B. Now, show the changes that get both graphs back to long-run equilibrium. Shift the appropriate curve(s) for the market and "Price 3" for the firm. Indicate the new long-run equilibrium with the points labeled C.
