Assume there is a decrease in the market demand for a good sold by price-taking firms that are initially producing the profit-maximizing level of output. For the individual firm, this would result in:
A) a decrease in both price and the profit-maximizing quantity of output. B) a decrease in price and increase in the profit-maximizing quantity of output. C) an increase in both price and the profit-maximizing quantity of output. D) an increase in price and decrease in the profit-maximizing quantity of output.
There are two closely related crops, X and Y, with the following demand functions QX = 180 - 2PX + PY and QY = 150 + PX - PY where QX is the quantity of X, PX is the price of X, QY is the quantity of Y, and PY is the price of Y
These two crops are grown in two widely separated countries so there is no interrelationship between the supply curves. The short-run perfectly inelastic supply for X is 200 while the short-run perfectly inelastic supply for Y is 100. In equilibrium, the prices are A) PX = 30, PY = 80 B) PX = 40, PY = 60 C) PX = 60, PY = 120 D) PX = 80, PY = 130
