Firms ill a perfectly competitive market are said to be price takers that is, once the market determines an equilibrium price for the product, firms must accept this price. If you sell a product in a perfectly competitive market, but you are not happy with its price, would you raise the price, even by a cent?

“New England power producers are preparing for potential strain on the grid this winter [Winter 2022-23: December 2022 through February 2023] as a surge in natural-gas demand abroad threatens to reduce supplies they need to generate electricity.” For Question 1, consider the New England market for electricity prior to Winter 2022-23 by considering this setting roughly one year ago, in December 2021. Assume that in December of 2021, the market for electricity was in a short-run equilibrium. Draw a graph that shows supply and demand for electricity market in its December 2021 equilibrium. This graph will serve as a starting point for your analysis in Questions 2 through 5. When drawing this graph, please assume that the demand curve is downward sloping and supply curve is upward sloping. Clearly show the market equilibrium in December 2021, labeling the equilibrium price and quantity. Please remember to clearly label your axes, with P on the vertical axis and Q on the horizontal axis.…

Suppose that the seitan industry is initially operating in long-run equilibrium at a price level of $5 per pound of seitan and quantity of 125 million pounds per year. Suppose a leading foodie video blogger raises awareness for a scholarly article that links seitan consumption to premature hair loss and unhealthy skin. The viral video is expected to cause consumers to demand seitan at every price. In the short run, firms will respond by .
