- Question 33 A major reason why the market equilibrium for a manufactured good may not be efficient is the industry is producing too little output. O there is likely to be a positive externality associated with production. O the industry is likely to be a monopoly. O there is too much government regulation. O property rights are not well defined.arrow_forward1. 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_forwardThere are 38 nearly identical ABC stores within a one-mile radius in Waikiki.
