(a) Examine the cost structure and demand faced by an individual Y producer. Relate that producer to the Y market at the perfectly competitive long run equilibrium. Support with market and individual producer diagrams. (b) Analyze the effects of the following news on price and quantity in the Y market as well as the profit and output of the individual Y producer “It is discovered that consuming Y is beneficial to health and can prolong your life”. Explain both the short run and the long run equilibria and support your answers with suitable diagrams. Hi, I have the answer sheet but may I request for a more detailed explanation for part b?
