"It is a critical situation, we are selling the fruit below the cost of production, which is when it really impacts the producer, since he has to continue maintaining his plantations healthy and vigorous and that costs. We have to invest in it, even though the price is not giving to pay, even, the costs", explained Prats. The above causes:

However, due to the "work and learn from home" situation, the demand for "internet boosters" changed to Qd2 = 60 - 4P. Approximately how much is the new total cost?

Raisins come from grapes, in a fairly simple process: grapes grow on vines; at harvest time, workers cut the bunches of grapes down; they spread them out in the sun for a couple of weeks until the grapes shrivel up and become raisins; the raisins are then packed into boxes and sold to consumers. But here’s the thing: California raisin growers have a cartel. And it is a legal cartel, based on a law passed in 1937 during the Great Depression. That law says that raisin growers are exempt from U.S. anti-trust law. So here is what the raisin growers do. They harvest their raisins. Then they have a big meeting of all the growers (called the Raisin Administrative Committee). At this meeting they decide how much of their raisin crop they are actually going to sell. Usually they decide that they will not sell their entire crop – in some years they decide that they will only sell half of it. Whatever they don’t sell goes into storage as a…arrow_forward

For this task, you will be required to illustrate and explain to a typical first-year undergrad student who has no economics background the profit the firm makes at $38 per month, and what has happened to profit (producer surplus), markup, consumer surplus and the output if the price was reduced from $38 to $10 per month.arrow_forwardIf markets are efficient, is there anything to be gained by doing fundamental research?
