Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

An increase in the market demand will cause the market demand curve to move to the right. This rightward shift in the demand curve will lead to an increase in the market price.

This increase in market price will cause the individual demand curves to move upwards. As the price increases, the profits earned by the firms will increase as well.

Profit to a firm is the difference between its total revenue and total cost, as the price increases, revenue will increase and cost will remain the same. This will cause profits to increase.

Assume the lunch plate industry in Oahu, a perfectly competitive industry, is in long-run equilibrium with a market price of $5.
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The lunch plate industry in Oahu is a perfectly competitive industry.  

This industry is also a decreasing cost industry. A decreasing cost industry can be defined as the type of industry where an increase in the number of firms in the industry causes the average production cost to decline.  

The industry is currently in long-run equilibrium and has the price level at $5.

As the demand increases, the price level will initially increase. But this increase in the price will cause the profits to increase and thus attract potential firms to join the market.  

As the number of firms increases the average cost of production will decrease. As a result, the supply in the market will increase more than the demand.  

So the long-run equilibrium will be reestablished at a lower price than earlier.

(Actual contribution/expected contribution) x value of loss to the property
