Table 3.9 illustrates the markets demand and supply for cheddar cheese. Graph the data and find the equilibrium. Next, create a table showing the change in quantity demanded or quantity supplied, and a graph of the new equilibrium, in each of the following situations: The price of milk, a key input for cheese production, rises, so that the supply decreases by 80 pounds at every price. A new study says that eating cheese is good for your health, so that demand increases by 20 at every price.

Market Equilibrium A retail chain will buy 800 televisions if the price is $350 each and 1200 if the priceis $300. A wholesaler will supply 700 of these televisions at $280 each and 1400 at $385 each. Assumingthat the supply and demand functions are linear, findthe market equilibrium point and explain what itmeans.
Alex's Fire Engines is the sole seller of fire engines in the fictional country of Pyrotania. Initially, Alex produced eight fire engines, but he has decided to increase production to nine fire engines. The following graph shows the demand curve Alex faces. As you can see, to sell the additional engine, Alex must lower his price from $80,000 to $40,000 per fire engine. Note that while Alex gains revenue from the additional engine he sells, he also loses revenue from the initial eight 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 eight engines by selling at $40,000 rather than $80,000. Then use the green rectangle (triangle symbols) to shade the area representing the revenue gained from selling an additional engine at $40,000.

How can you tell? Is there excess supply or excess demand in the bread market when the price of bread is 2.5 euros? Why? Explain how price, quantity demanded and quantity supplied will adjust to reach equilibrium when the price is b) 2.5 euros. Initially, the bread market is in equilibrium. Suppose that there is technological improvement in the production process of bread. Explain how supply and demand curves, equilibrium price and equilibrium quantity c) change as result.

Price (dollars) 24 10 V ATC The firm will receive $ MR Quantity/time The firm will maximize its profit at a quantity of▼ units. D Options: 6, 8, 9, or 10 After choosing the profit maximizing quantity, the firm will charge a price of in revenue at the profit-maximizing quantity. The total cost of production for this profit-maximizing quantity is $ The maximum profit the firm can earn in this situation is How will the situation change over time? Options: 6,8 10, or 24 per unit for this output. O Profits will attract rival firms into the market until the profit-maximizing price falls to the level of per-unit cost. O The market will adjust until the price charged by this firm no longer exceeds marginal cost at the profit-maximizing quantity. O This market is already in long-run equilibrium, and will not change throughout time. O Losses will induce firms to leave…
