Suppose Rian operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells rompers. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for rompers with a market price equal to $25 per romper. The following graph shows Rian's total cost curve. Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for rompers for quantities zero through seven (including zero and seven) that Rian produces.

Sleek Sneakers Co. is one of many firms in the marketfor shoes.a. Assume that Sleek is currently earning short-runeconomic profit. On a correctly labeled diagram,show Sleek’s profit-maximizing output and price,as well as the area representing profit.b. What happens to Sleek’s price, output, and profitin the long run? Explain this change in words, andshow it on a new diagram.c. Suppose that over time consumers become morefocused on stylistic differences among shoe brands.How would this change in attitudes affect eachfirm’s price elasticity of demand? In the long run,how will this change in demand affect Sleek’s price,output, and profit?d.

Profit is the incentive that drives our market economy. Firms make production, pricing, andhiring decisions based on their quest for profit. But what happens when a firm discoversthat it can make dramatically higher profits by stopping production altogether? In December2000, due to wild swings in the market for electricity, Kaiser Aluminium faced just such adecision.Kaiser Aluminium had contracted with Bonneville power for all of its electricity needs andfound itself in the unique position of being an electricity consumer and, potentially, anelectricity reseller. By December 2000, Kaiser faced a difficult decision of continuing itscurrent aluminium production and profit levels, or closing the plant to dramatically increaseits profit by simply reselling its electricity.When making production decisions, firms must consider both their costs and revenues. Oneimportant concern for many firms is utility costs. In 1996, Kaiser Aluminium Corporation inSpokane, Washington, entered into a…
