Suppose Ginny runs a small business that manufactures shirts. Assume that the market for shirts is a competitive market, and the market price is $20
per shirt.
The following graph shows Ginny's total cost curve.
Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for shirts quantities zero through seven
(inclusive) that Ginny produces.

The increase and popularity of healthy fatty food like avocados, butter, olive oil, and salmon are making these products spike in price because of their popularity. b. Draw two graphs side by side (like in problem 3 above) for an individual firm in a competitive market and the accompanying market. Draw them so they are in long run equilibrium initially. c. In the article, it mentions that the producers of avocados, fish, and butter are struggling to increase output (quantity supplied). Why? There was such a high rate of interest in these products in such a short amount of time, the companies weren’t able to fill the orders fast enough. d.

Iyana's profit is maximized when they produce a total of is $ , an amount rompers. At this quantity, the marginal cost of the final romper they produce than the price received for each romper they sell. At this point, the marginal cost of producing one more romper (the first romper beyond the profit maximizing quantity) is $ , an amount than the price received for each romper they sell. Therefore, Iyana's profit-maximizing quantity occurs at the point of intersection between the Because Iyana is a price taker, the previous condition is equivalent to curves.arrow_forward3.
