At the exact same time as the very cold winter in France wiping out most of the crop of Pinot Noir grapes in Burgundy France, Oregon wine producers faced their own challenge. A new labor agreement with their workers' union has increased wages and raised wine producers' marginal cost of producing Pinot Noir. In the graph below, click on the new equilibrium point in the market for Oregon Pinot Noir that reflects both simultaneous changes. P 0 S S p" p
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.

Which of the following best explains why a firm in a competitive price-taker market must take the price determined in the market? The short-run average total costs of firms that are price takers will be constant. O If a price taker increased its price, consumers would buy from other suppliers. O Firms in a price-taker market will have to advertise in order to increase sales. There are no good substitutes for the product supplied by a firm that is a price taker.
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.

If the price is P1 what should the firm do? O The firm should shut down in the short-run because price is below AVC. In the long-run, they will assess the market conditions to see whether they should reopen for business or exit the market. The firm should decrease production because marginal revenue is greater than marginal cost. Therefore, the firm has not maximized operating profits. O The firm should exit the market because firms will soon enter. This will drive the price below ATC, which will Cost 41
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.
