Consider the market for tilapia. Ripple Rock Fish Farms, a small family fishery in Ohio, and The Fishin’ Company, a large corporate supplier, are both producers of tilapia. The marginal cost curves for both firms are shown in the accompanying graph. a. Suppose the market price of tilapia is $2.50 per pound. Move point A to Ripple Rock’s quantity sold. Move point B to The Fishin’ Company’s quantity sold. b. How many pounds of tilapia do they collectively supply?________thousand pounds   c. To achieve efficient production, The Fishin’ Company should supply _____ ("more", or "less", or "the same")  it is currently producing, and Ripple Rock should supply __________ ("more", or "less", or "the same")  it is currently producing.

Suppose that Roots' marginal cost of a jacket is a constant $75.00 and the total fixed cost at one of its stores is $2,000 a day. This store sells 25 jackets a day, which is its profit-maximizing number of jackets. Then the stores nearby start to advertise their jackets. The Roots store now spends $1,000 a day advertising its jackets, and its profit-maximizing number of jackets sold jumps to 75 a day. What is this store's average total cost of a jacket sold before the advertising begins and after the advertising begins. >>> Answer to 2 decimal places. Can you say what happens to the price of a Roots jacket, Roots' markup, and Roots' economic profit? Before the advertising begins, the average total cost of a jacket sold in this store is $ After the advertising begins, the average total cost of a jacket sold in this store is $ If the nearby firms' advertising decreases the demand for Roots' jackets and makes the demand more elastic, the price of a Roots' jacket If Roots' advertising…

The following graph illustrates the demand and marginal revenue curve (D-MR) of a perfectly competitive firm. Suppose that when the firm produces 40 units, its average variable cost equals $65 per unit and its average total cost equals $80 per unit. Use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to plot the total cost of producing 40 units. Next, use the grey rectangle (star symbols) to plot the total variable cost of producing 40 units. Then, use the tan rectangle (dash symbols) to plot the total revenue at 40 units. Finally, use the purple rectangle (diamond symbols) to plot the profit or loss at 40 units.
