You run a produce stall at a farmer's market, but rather than sell your own goods, you travel to other farmer's markets,
seeking fruits and vegetables you can buy to sell at your stall at the going rates in your market, making a profit in the
process. One day, you find the prices to be as follows:
Your market
Market A
Market B
Carrots $1.00 per pound

$0.90 per pound
Turnips $1.50 per pound

Which of the statements is the explanation offered by the article for this apparent paradox? The costs of farming have increased faster than productivity, leading to higher crop yields but lower profits. An influx of farmers entering the agricultural market has led to fierce competition, driving down revenues.

- 1. Price and output in a competitive price-searcher market Consider a price-searching firm, Sean's Fire Engines, which sells fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sean's produced six fire engines but then decided to increase production to seven fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve the firm faces. To sell the additional engine, Sean's must lower its price from $100,000 to $50,000 per engine. (Hint: Sean's Fire Engines gains revenue from the additional engine it sells, but it also loses revenue from the initial six engines because it sells them all at the lower price.) On the following graph, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial six engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000. re engine) 250 225 200 Q Search Revenue Lost Colarrow_forwardHealth Canada's report will cause consumers to demand 1.
