Market Equilibrium) A successful advertising campaign by the California Milk Processor Board increases demand for milk. In the short-term, this moves the market demand curve to the right (i.e., increases demand at all price level). The new (short-term) market demand function becomes: Qd(P) = 10062 - 100P The advertising campaign does not affect the (short-term) market supply function which remains: Qs(P) = 3564 + 800P A. Calculate the new Equilibrium Price. B. Calculate the new Equilibrium Quantity. 2. (Profit Maximization in a perfectly competitive market). Using the new market price that you calculated in question 3 and assume that your farm’s weekly cost function is unchanged: TC(Q) = $1036.8 + $2Q + $0.0045Q^2 A. What is the new Profit Maximizing Output Level (Q*) for your farm? B. Where are the farm's Weekly Profits at the new Profit Maximizing Output Level? C. Is this market at its long-run equilibrium? If yes, explain why. If not, discuss what will need to…

A. price will be $20 and quantity will be 10 B. price will be $20 and quantity will be 40 C. price will be $40 and quantity will be 20 D. price will be $10 and quantity will be 20
Create a numerical example of a two-commodity market with linear demandand supply curves. The two goods should be substitutes and the example should model actual goods found in the real world. The solution should have a price and quantity solution with a reasonable economic interpretation (i.e. no negative prices or quantities).
PROBLEM 11: Demand and supply for a good are given as Qd = 100 - 2P and Qs = -8 + P, respectively (Q is in 1000 units). Suppose the market above is a perfectly competitive market. Find the market price that producers will sell their product. Find the total quantity sold in this market.
Consider a competitive market in which the equilibrium determined by the intersection of Supply and Demand. If the market price has decreased and the market quantity has increased, then we can infer that Group of answer choices a) the demand curve has shifted to the right. b) the demand curve has shifted to the left. c) no shifts have occurred. d) the supply curve has shifted to the left. e) the supply curve has shifted to the right.
Please no written by hand and no image The Potomac Range Corporation manufactures a line of microwave ovens costing $600 each. Its sales have averaged about 8,000 units per month during the past year. In August, Potomac’s closest competitor, Spring City Stove Works, cut its price for a closely competitive model from $800 to $550. Potomac noticed that its sales volume declined to 5,500 units per month after Spring City announced its price cut. (A.) What is the arc cross elasticity of demand between Potomac’s oven and the competitive Spring City model? (B) Would you say that these two firms are very close competitors? What other factors could have influenced the observed relationship? (C) If Potomac knows that the arc price elasticity of demand for its ovens is –3.0, what price would Potomac have to charge to sell the same number of units it did before the Spring City price cut?

New Zealand possums produce the highest quality fur, due to the large pelts per body size. Demand for New Zealand possums’ products has risen dramatically. This is partly a result of the conservation benefits of harvesting New Zealand possums. This has made the product seem more environment friendly than other fur products and boosted sales to concerned consumers. Assume that the possums market satisfies all the attributes of a competitive market. Further assume that high grade possum furs are the most expensive input into the possum fur production function. 1. Use a graph of the market for possum fur to demonstrate the effect of its environmentally friendly status on the market equilibrium. 2. Graph the reaction of an individual incumbent firm to the increase in market demand. In your graph, identify the firm’s revenue and cost structures. 3. What would you predict would happen to long-run industry supply if the price of possum fur increased as possum culling increased their…
