Answer:

The correct answer is: a decrease in the price of cattle.

Explanation:

Ranchers can raise either cattle or sheep on their land. They will choose the option which is most profitable. A decrease in the price of cattle will make it less profitable. So ranchers will prefer to raise more sheep.

This will cause the supply of sheep to increase. As a result, the supply curve will move to the right.

An increase in the demand for cattle will increase its price. Consequently, its supply will increase and that of sheep will decrease. An increase in the price of sheep feed will make it costly to raise sheep, so its supply will decrease.  

An increase in the price of sheep will cause its quantity supplied to increase. The supply curve will remain the same.

REY [17]

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

<u>Explanation:</u>

(a)  (i) Marginal cost (MC) = Change in Total cost (TC) by Change in output (Q)

(ii) Total revenue (TR) = Price (P) into Q

(iii) Marginal revenue (MR) = Change in TR by Change in Q

(iv) Profit = TR - TC

Therefore:

Q  TC  MC  P  TR  MR  PROFIT

0  25   60  0   -25

1  40  15  55  55  55  15

2  45  5  50  100  45  55

3  55  10  45  135  35  80

4  70  15  40  160  25  90

5  90  20  35  175  15  85

6  115  25  30  180  5  65

7  145  30  25  175  -5  30

8  180  35  20  160  -15  -20

9  220 40  15  135  -25  -85

10  265 45  10  100  -35  -165

When Q = 4, MR = $25 and MC = $15, so MR > MC. When Q = 5, MR = $15 and MC = $20, so MR < MC. Therefore,  

Profit is maximized when Q = 4 and P = $40, with maximum profit = $90.

(b)  In the long run, new firms will enter the market by being attracted by positive short run profit. Therefore in long run, demand for individual firm will decrease, price for individual firm will decrease and profit will decrease until each existing firm earns zero economic profit.
