What health care experts are calling the “tripledemic” (Covid, flu, and RSV) has dramatically increased demand for antibiotics in the United States. Assume there are no changes to the supply of these drugs. On the same graph you produced in Question 1, graphically depict any changes affecting the market for antibiotics and any changes that impact the individual firm. Show the movements of the curves (if any) and the new Short Run Equilibrium (SRE). Indicate the new market equilibrium P1 and Q1, the optimal output of an individual firm representative of the other firms in the industry at this SRE (labeled as q1), and the individual firm’s profit π1, if any (shaded and clearly labeled).

- Suppose that when the price of gold is $100 an ounce, gold producers find it unprofitable to sell gold. However, when the price is $200 an ounce, 5000 ounces of output (production) is profitable. At $300, a total of 10,000 ounces of output is profitable. Similarly, total production increases by 5000 ounces for each successive $100 increase in the price of gold. Describe the relevant relationship between the price of gold and the production of gold in words, in a table, and on a graph. Put the price of gold on the vertical axis and the output of gold on the horizontal axis.

Make sure to talk about how output maximization and cost minimization lead to the same maximizing/minimizing input bundles. )arrow_forwardThe owner of Grand Central Bookstore is looking into the sales of its Health & Fitness magazine section. She finds that her equilibrium is at 800 magazines per month sold at an average price of $4.75 per magazine. When the price of these Health & Fitness magazines rose to $5.00 each, the quantity sold fell to 725 magazines per month, while the quantity supplied to her increased to 900 a month. From the scenario described, answer the questions below. Draw an appropriate graph for Grand Central’s Bookstore’s to illustrate this change in the Health & Fitness magazines market position when the price rises to $5.00. Calculate the price elasticity of demand for the Health & Fitness magazines between prices $4.75 and $5.00. Is it elastic or inelastic? How do you know?

[SelectMultiple] Group of answer choices Due to profit effect, their utility as producers increases. The impact on overall welfare of the household is ambiguous since it depends on the relative forces of profit effect and price effect. Their is no effect since subsistence households never sell or buy their staple production. Due to price effect, their utility as consumers decreases.arrow_forwardAfter the devastating typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, the government and donor agencies embarked on rehabilitating rice production to avoid hunger and starvation. As a result, Philippines experienced a rice bumper harvest which led to the equilibrium price to decrease to AUD 1.50 per kilogram. To reduce poverty, the government decided to increase the price of rice to AUD 2.00 per kg. Suppose the figure below represents rice production by Jane a farmer in rural Philippines, answer the questions below. i. Examine the effect of government price legislation on Jane a farmer in rural Philippines ii Calculate the price elasticity of demand using the midpoint formula for rice. iii.
