Answer the following questions and submit to the appropriate space on Canvas. Be careful to completely and correctly label all of the parts of any graph you draw. Please be a neat as possible. 1. The Wernham Hogg Paper Company is a representative firm in a purely/perfectly competitive, constant-cost market. The market is currently in a long-run equilibrium. a. Use the blank axes below to draw completely and thoroughly labeled side-by-side graphs for the paper market and for Wernham Hogg. Make sure that you clearly indicate the price and quantity of paper in the market and price and quantity for Wernham Hogg. b. Paper is a normal good. As the result of an economic slowdown, a large number of consumers lose their jobs and their paychecks. Wernham Hogg's paper mills continue to operate. Use the graphs you drew above to show how the fall in consumer impacts the following items in the short run: ome i. Market price and quantity ii. Wernham Hogg's price and quantity iii. Shade the rectangle representing Wernham Hogg's profit or loss c. Remember that Wernham Hogg is continuing to produce paper in the midst of the economic slowdown. What must the price of paper be for this to make economic sense for the firm?

In the argument for why perfect competition is allocatively efficient, the price that people are willing to pay represents the gains to society and the marginal cost to the film represents the costs to society. Can you think of some social costs or issues that are not included in the marginal cost to the firm? Or some social gains that are not included in what people pay for a good?
How does the average cost curve help to show whether a firm is making profits or losses?

KINDERHOOK, N.Y.—Golden Harvest Farms has grown from a small apple-growing operation when Doug Grout’s grandfather opened it after World War II, to a multipronged business that includes a retail stand, cider press, distillery, tasting room and barbecue restaurant. But Mr. Grout said he sees a cloudier future for the business due to new state regulations that will require him to increasingly pay more overtime to the farmworkers who pick his apples in the coming years, raising one of his primary costs. “We were looking to buy another orchard, and that whole thing is tabled,” said Mr. Grout, 52 years old, who co-owns Golden Harvest with his father, as he drove between rows of Honeycrisp trees. “We’re stepping away. You’re going to see farms go out of business. This is very shortsighted.” For the apple market in New York, the new regulations will: Cause supply to shift to the left, leading to higher prices and a…

Economics Answer "False" or "True" each of the following. Justify by relying on graphical analysis whenever possible. 3.- If the marginal income is greater than the marginal cost, the competitive company will increase its profits by increasing its production (we assume increasing marginal costs). 4.- An industry in which the production process can be done with increasing economies of scale (for any level of production) cannot be one of perfect competition. answer both asap thnx

What reasons make the demand curve of a perfectly competitive firm completely horizontal? Only state. 3. Represent the information below in an appropriately labelled diagram with the relevant curves, and decide whether the firm should continue production or shut down in the short run, using calculations. A perfectly competitive firm produces 100 mugs to maximize its profit. The average total cost (ATC) is 13 taka per mug and the average fixed cost (AFC) is 4 taka per mug when the firm produces 100 mugs. The…
