Canadian red wheat is a normal good, in a perfectly competitive market which is in long run equilibrium. There occurs a boon in the economy and income rises. What effect does this have on short run equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity? Draw a short run industry graph showing the change described above. Remember to label every curve, label your axes, and demonstrate the resulting changes in the axes.

Table showing Market Demand Price Quantity Demanded Quantity Supplied $90 20 $65 30 $45 40 $35 50 $25 60 $15 70 $10 80 What is the equilibrium price and quantity given this information on demand in the market? Is each firm making a profit or loss? What is the amount of that profit or loss? What do you predict will happen over the long run? What if the information regarding market demand and market supply is conveyed in equations rather than tables? Practice how you would find equilibrium in a competitive market using equations for demand and supply. Suppose in a competitive market the market demand can be represented as follows: P=10−Q(andthusQ=10−P) and that market supply can be represented as follows: P=Q. Using the fact that at equilibrium the quantity demanded equals the quantity supplied, find the equilibrium price and quantity in this market.

Question 1 Explain the concept of Equilibrium Price in a Perfectly Competitive Market and how it is determined? Calculate the percentage change in equilibrium price if the percentage change in quantity demanded is 25%. Price Elasticity of Demand is 1.35 and Price Elasticity of Supply is 1.15.
1. The market for manicures and other nail treatments is very competitive. How would the following developments affect the number of nail treatments that a typical nail salon wants to supply in the short run? a. Heightened concern about their appearance causes people to want more manicures at a given price. b. The government requires all nail salons to pay a new yearly licensing fee to operate. c. Worse job prospects elsewhere in the economy cause more people to want to become manicurists, causing the wages of manicurists to fall.
Graph represents the cost structure of an individual firm in a perfectly competitive market. If the price decreases to $25, find the profit maximizing output of firm A by explaining the profit maximizing condition for a perfectly competitive firm. Calculate total revenue, total cost, total variable cost and the profit of the firm at the profit maximizing output.

7 A local tavern in a perfectly competitive market was in a long-run equilibrium. Then, a scientific breakthrough determines that beer prevents heart attacks, resulting in an increase in demand for beer. Describe the market processes that affect the tavern in both the short run and the new long-run equilibrium.
