3. The components of marginal revenue Dmitri's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Dmitri produced four fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to five fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Dmitri faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Dmitri must lower his price from $105,000 to $90,000 per fire engine. Note that although Dmitri gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial four 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 four engines by selling at $90,000 rather than $105,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $90,000. 150 135 Revenue Lo 120 Demand 105 80 Revenue Gained PRICE (Thousands of dollars per fe engine 228…
5. Profit maximization and shutting down in the short run The following graph plots daily cost curves for a firm operating in the competitive market for rompers.

Using the data from the graph to determine the firm's total variable cost, calculate the profit or loss associated with producing that quantity. Assume that if the firm is indifferent between producing and shutting down, it will choose to produce.

6. Deriving the short-run supply curve Consider the competitive market for dress shirts. The following graph shows the marginal cost (MC), average total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC) curves for a typical firm in the industry. COSTS (Dollars) PRICE (Dollars per shirt) 100 90 80 70 60 50 100 40 90 10 80 0 70 Price (Dollars per shirt) 60 50 20 10 0 0 For each price in the following table, use the graph to determine the number of shirts this firm would produce in order to maximize its profit. Assume that when the price is exactly equal to the average variable cost, the firm is indifferent between producing zero shirts and the profit- maximizing quantity. Also, indicate whether the firm will produce, shut down, or be indifferent between the two in the short run. Lastly, determine whether it will make a profit, suffer a loss, or break even at each price. 15 20 25 55 70 85 10 0 0 0 MC D ATC On the following graph, use the orange points (square symbol) to plot points along the…

3. Consider the perfectly competitive markets for bottled water in two cities, A and B. Both have a downward-sloping demand curve and upward-sloping supply curve, and each market is currently in long run equilibrium at the same price. The demand curves are similar, but in city A the supply curve is more price elastic than in city B. a) There's a shock: an accident causes the tap water in the area to become undrinkable. In two diagrams, one for each city, compare the effect on price and quantity traded in the two cities, assuming that a new equilibrium is reached. Explain your diagrams. b) Following on from your answer to a), explain what would happen in the model to the number of suppliers and their profitability, in each of the short run and the long run.
