Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The market where there are many buyers and sellers of the uniform commodities and each one with the complete market knowledge and complete freedom of entry and exit into the market is known as the perfect competition. Here in the case of Lin, he operates in a market where there are many producers and all produce the very same commodity, which is here, the cookie. Anyone can enter or exit from the market at any time, which means there are no barriers to entry and exit from the market. These indicates that the market that Lin operates has the characteristics of
The price is determined at the point of equilibrium between the market
The perfectly competitive market has a condition that determines the efficiency maximizing level and it is the level at which the price equals marginal cost equals marginal revenue. Thus, MR equals MC equals Price under perfect competition. The marginal revenue is the additional revenue generated through the sale of an additional unit of commodity in the market. Since the MR = MC = P under perfect competition, the marginal revenue of Lin is determined by the price level in the market.
Economics Concept Introduction
Market: Market is a place where the prospective buyers and sellers interact with each other and the exchange of goods and services takes place between the seller and the buyer at a mutually agreed price level.
Perfect competition: Perfect competition is a market condition where there are a large number of buyers and sellers in the market, perfect knowledge of the market to the buyers and sellers, uniform commodities, and there is freedom of entry and exit in the market.

3. Which is faster, red or green cars?
You are a purchasing manager at a large car dealership in a busy urban area. You purchase on average 250 cars monthly for the dealership. People are buying new and used cars from your dealership regularly, and business is doing well. Most of your customers are average middle-income households, and they typically purchase bigger cars that are pricey. Your boss, Natalya, invited you for lunch to discuss the next big purchase in preparation for the big Summer sales event. While chatting about the business, Natalya told you the following: "While surfing social media today, I read a government report that says the economy is growing and inflation is rising. As the economy continues to grow due to an increase in consumption by consumers, the prices are expected to rise to a higher level than usual. The report also said that the increase in consumption has caused a shortage in the auto industry, which I think might be good for us (or bad, I don’t know.)…
