The first graph depicts the industry supply and demand for yoga classes. Assume that the market is initially in equilibrium at the intersection of lines D and S. The second graph is the cost information for a single firm in this perfectly competitive industry. Assume there is an increase in the industry demand for yoga classes and the industry demand curve moves from D to D1. Furthermore, assume this is a constant cost industry. Shift the supply (S) curve to the correct positions to reflect long-run equilibrium in this constant cost industry. Next, use the interactive line to trace out the long-run industry supply curve (LRIS) for this industry.

By how much would the market price of abortions and the number of abortions change if a lump-sum tax is assessed on abortion clinics that raises their minimum average cost by 10%? On the graph to the right, show the new long-run equilibrium price. 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw the new demand curve and label the line d². 2.) Use the 3-point curved line drawing tool to draw the new average cost curve and label the curve AC². Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Using the price elasticity of demand information from the "Abortion Market" application, calculate the decrease in the number of abortions from the lump sum tax. Abortions will decrease by as little as percent or by as much as percent.

Just the bolded one please Using the above graph, The minimum level of output this firm would produce is 12 units. The firm's total fixed costs is $56. (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response; enter only the whole dollar amount, NOT cents.) The profit maximizing output level for this firm is 14 units. The economic profit that this firm is earning is $Blank 4. (Do NOT enter the '$' in your response; enter only the whole dollar amount, NOT cents.) If this profit level is typical of the industry that the firm is operating in, what do you expect to happen? Blank 5
Please diagram the revenue and profit situation (which would also include the cost curves) for a producer of a highly elastic (but not perfectly elastic) good of your choice (a restaurant, boutique clothing store, etc.). Under what circumstances would it make sense for them to raise their price? While profit maximization is the main goal for most firms (and one which you should be able to represent on a diagram), you may wish to consider alternative goals depending upon the business you have chosen.

Assume the natural gas industry is still living with the short-run supply disruption. Then, unusually warm weather causes demand for natural gas to decrease unexpectedly. Analyze the impact of this reduction in demand in for natural gas. graphically depict any changes affecting the market for natural gas and any changes that impact the individual firm. Show the movements of the curves (if any) and the new Short Run Equilibrium (SRE). assume the natural gas industry is perfectly competitive, demand is downward sloping, supply is upward sloping, and production technology results in traditional U-shaped ATC and AVC curves. market price is always greater than the minimum of the AVC curve.
Illustrate to the right, a graph showing a company being profitable in a competitive market in the Long Run selling its product at Market Price (MP*) based on its Average Variable Cost (AVC) and Average Total Cost (ATC) and Marginal Cost (MC). Identify each key point on the graph. Observe the Short - Run Loss information illustrated in the graph to the right. With respect to Price (P*"), Average Variable Cost (AVC), Average Total Cost (ATC), Marginal Revenue (MR), and Marginal Cost (MC), what assumption would you make if the firm was selling its product at P What would happen if this were to continue in the long run? Is there a Shut Down point? ** ? Notice that MR = P

Lesson 5.4 - Industry Adjustments to Increases in Demand 1. In a/an industry, an increase in demand will result in a new equilibrium price equal to the original equilibrium price (before demand increased). This results in a long-run supply curve that is 2. In a/an industry, an increase in demand will result in a new equilibrium price higher than the original equilibrium price (before demand increased). This results in a long-run supply curve that is sloping. 3. In a/an. industry, an increase in demand will result in a new equilibrium price lower than the original equilibrium price (before demand increased). This results in a long-run supply curve that is sloping.
Q4) Answer the following, providing a graphical illustration along with your answer where necessary: a) What is the profit maximising condition? b) Explain what is meant by abnormal profit? What is the adjustment process from short-run abnormal profit to long-run equilibrium in a perfectly competitive market? c) Please find below Pricing options for firm A and B, along with individual payoffs (Firm A's payoff/Firm B's payoff) Firm A Price £2 Price £1 Assume you are the pricing manager at Firm A; i) ii) Price £2 £10,000/£10,000 £12,000/£5,000 Firm B Price £1 £5,000/£12,000 £6,000/£6,000 What is your payoff for a 'maximin' strategy?
