Assume the natural gas industry is still living with the short-run supply disruption. Then, unusually warm weather causes demand for natural gas to decrease unexpectedly. Analyze the impact of this reduction in demand in for natural gas. graphically depict any changes affecting the market for natural gas and any changes that impact the individual firm. Show the movements of the curves (if any) and the new Short Run Equilibrium (SRE). assume the natural gas industry is perfectly competitive, demand is downward sloping, supply is upward sloping, and production technology results in traditional U-shaped ATC and AVC curves. market price is always greater than the minimum of the AVC curve.
1 Hypothetical Case 1 The following equations describe the long-run situation for prices and costs, where the numbers indicate the amounts of labor and capital needed to produce a unit of wheat and cloth. W is the wage rate/hour and R is the rental rate/hour. Price of wheat = 1 W + 2 R Price of cloth = 2 W + 1 R In autarky, the price of wheat is 5 and the price of cloth is 4. As trade opens up wheat price rises from 5 to 6. Cloth price remains at 4. Consider Hypothetical Case 1 above. After trade opens up, how many units of wheat can a worker buy with one hour of labor?
