In other words, competitive sellers, in this market, face perfectlyelastic demand in the short run.”
Francine is a a dental floss tycoon living in Montana. She faces the following demand curve for her product:
Price ( in $/unit) Quantity demanded
2.50 1000
2.20 2000
1.90 3000
1.60 4000

All of her advisors within the company have assured Francine that her brother's advice may be correct, BUT the above demand curve will not change. Assume that Francine knows the above demand curve will not change and is also considering her brother's advice. The prices can only…

(Note: The name labels are to the right of the corresponding segment on the supply curve.) Use the rectangles to shade the areas representing producer surplus for each person who is willing to sell a smartphone at a market price of $175.

- 2. The gains and loss from selling one more unit Sean's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sean produced seven fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Sean faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Sean must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that although Sean gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial seven engines because he sells them all at the lower price. Use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue lost from the initial seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000.arrow_forwardWhy does a Starbucks coffeehouse face a downward–sloping demand curve while a dairy farmer has a horizontal demand curve?
