- (a) Let the industry producing soybeans be in a long-run equilibrium. What is the equilibrium price of a bushel of soybeans? How many billions of bushels are produced? How many farmers are there in the industry? What is the shipping fee per bushel of soybeans? (b) Suppose that the demand for soybeans drops due to decreased im- port by China and becomes Q = 15.3 − p. In a new long run equilibrium, what is the equilibrium price of a bushel of soybeans? How many billions of bushels are produced? How many farmers are there in the industry? What is the shipping fee per bushel? (c) Calculate the change in the producers’ surplus between the situations described in (a) and (b). (d) Show that the decrease in the producers’ surplus equals to the decrease in the total shipping fees as the industry contracts incrementally from the equilibrium output in (a) to the equilibrium output in (b).The figure below shows the supply and the demand for a good (left) and the cost curves of an individual firm in this market (right). Assume that all firms in this market, including the potential entrants, have identical cost curves. Initially, the market is in equilibrium at point A. Price Cost MC ATC A 4 2 1 D 2 4 6 8 10 12 Quantity Quantity Refer to the figure above. Suppose that the market has reached the long-run equilibrium. Then, due to news of the product's defects and recall, the demand falls by 4 units at each price. At the new equilibrium, each firm in the market earns and there will be a. zero economic profit; neither entry nor exit of firms b. positive economic profit; entries of new firms C. zero accounting profit; both entry and exit of firms d. negative economic profit; exit of existing firmsShort-run supply and long-run equilibrium Consiber the competitive market for rhodium. Assume that no matter how many firms operate in the induatry, every firm is identical and faces the same marpinal cost (MC), averapt total cost (ATC), and average variable cost (AVC ) curves plotted in the following praph. The following graph plots the market demand curve for thodium. If there were 10 firms in this market, the short-run equilibrium price of rhodium would be per pound. At that price, firms in this industry would. Therefore, in the long run, firms would the rhodium market. Because you know that competitive firms earn economic profit in the long run, you know the long-run equilibrium price must be per pound. From the graph, you can see that this means there will be firms operating in the rhodium industry in long-run equilibrium. True or False: Assuming implicit costs are positive, each of the firms operating in this industry in the long run earns positive accounting profit. True False
