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?

d. Draw the effect described in part d on your graph of the market in part c.
e. What happened to the equilibrium price as a result?

Recognizing this, the owners of the Santa Fe Grill believe three issues need to be addressed using marketing research. The first is should the menu be changed to include items beyond the traditional southwestern cuisine? For example, should they add items that would be considered standard American. Italian. or European cuisine? Second, regardless of the cuisine to be explored, how many new items (e.g., appetizers, entrées, or desserts) should be included on the survey?

- 2. The gains and loss from selling one more unit Sean's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Sean produced seven fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to eight fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Sean faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Sean must lower his price from $100,000 to $50,000 per fire engine. Note that although Sean gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial seven 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 seven engines by selling at $50,000 rather than $100,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $50,000.arrow_forwardBriefly summarize of pricing strategy of the Apple companyarrow_forwardSally runs a vegetable stand.
