1. Assume soybeans are produced by a perfectly competitive, constant-cost industry. Fresh Farm is a typical firm producing soybeans and is currently operating with an economic loss.

(a) Using a correctly labeled graph for Fresh Farm, show each of the following in the short run.

(i) The marginal cost curve and average total cost, labeled MC and ATC, respectively

(ii) Fresh Farm’s price and loss-minimizing quantity, labeled P_F and Q_F, respectively

(iii) The average variable cost curve, labeled AVC

(b) Suppose that newspapers have recently reported that excessive soybean consumption can cause health problems. As a result, will the new loss-minimizing quantity for Fresh Farm be greater than, less than, or equal to Q_F in the short run? Explain.

(c) Is the long-run market supply for soybeans perfectly inelastic, relatively inelastic, unit elastic, relatively elastic, or perfectly elastic?

(d) Assume now that the soybean market is in a long-run equilibrium and that fertilizers used in soybean production cause water pollution. Using a correctly labeled graph for the soybean market, show each of the following.
