The perfectly competitive firm and market in the short run Consider a perfectly competitive market where demand is QD = 2,000 - 40P and quantity is measured in units while price is measured in dollars per unit. The long run supply is QS = 100P - 800. a) Find the equilibrium price and the equilibrium quantity. b) When the market is in equilibrium, what is the total expenditure in this market? c) When the market is in equilibrium, what is...
4. The diagram below shows supply and demand in a perfectly competitive local market for cubic metres (m3) of garden soil. Price is per LLL LLD 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 NO90 100 110 120 Quantity (m' day) a. At the equilibrium market price, determine the following values: - total revenue received by sellers -consumer surplus producer surplus total economic surplus b. Now suppose that sellers in this market cooperate and restrict their total output to 30m3 per...
DEMAND & SUPPLY: Consider the market for bananas which is known to be perfectly competitive. The market is characterized by the following relationships: QD = 10,000 – 140P QS = 7500 + 125P Plot the demand curve and the supply curve on a graph. Clearly label the axes and the intercepts. Why is the demand-curve downward-sloping? What is the slope of the demand curve? Why is the supply-curve upward-sloping? What is the slope of the supply curve? What is the...
Draw and label a graph depicting world trade in which the world price is perfectly elastic and higher than the country price. Start with a graph depicting market equilibrium with the demand curve and supply curves having slopes of approximately 1 (negative 1 for demand). Modify the graph to demonstrate the world market price being lower than the country market price.
The graph shows the consumer surplus for a perfectly competitive
industry.
The industry is taken over by a monopoly.
Draw the new consumer surplus. Label it

Problem 1: a. Draw a situation where a perfectly competitive firm is making a loss, make sure to label loss. When should the firm shut down? (Make sure to include a market diagram). b. State and draw a graph explaining the long run equilibrium in a perfectly competitive market. Why does the market come to rest at this point? Explain.
Draw a perfectly competitive market disequilibrium position. If the market moves from disequilibrium to equilibrium, what happens to consumer and producer surplus?
3) Assume that the market for energy efficient window installations in San Diego is perfectly competitive. Quarterly inverse supply and inverse demand are: P 1200 3Q (Private MB) P 440Qs (Private MC) neighbors (lowering the overall price of electricity, reducing pollution, and so on) These external benefits to consumers are estimated to be EMB 2Q (the more windows installed, the more external benefit to installing more windows). a) Find the equilibrium price and quantity that will be produced in a...
Draw and label a graph depicting a monopolistic market from the perspective of a single firm. Make sure you illustrate the profit maximizing price and quantity . Start with a graph depicting market equilibrium for the monopolistic market . Modify the graph to demonstrate that the price at the profit maximizing level of output is below the average variable cost curve . Discuss the following characteristics of a the firm depicted in part 1 : Is the firm making a...
Consider an economy where rice is the staple food and the rice market is perfectly competitive. Initially the consumers paid the market equilibrium price for rice. (i) Using a diagram for the rice market, analyse the market equilibrium, the consumer surplus and the producer surplus. Your diagram needs to have a proper shape of the demand and supply curve that correctly reflects the demand and supply elasticities.
