A competitive firm produces a single output using several inputs. The price of output rises by $4 per unit. The price of one of the inputs increases by $2 and the quantity of this input that the firm uses increases by 8 units. The prices of all other inputs stay unchanged. From the weak axiom of profit maximization we can tell that a. the output of the good must have increased by at least 4 units.
b. the inputs of the other factors must have stayed constant.
c. the output of the good must have decreased by at least 2 units.
d. the inputs of at least one of the other factors must have decreased by at least 8 units.
e. the inputs of at least one of the other factors must have increased by at least 8 units.

answer: in the short-run firms will respond by raising the price of turkey.

explanation: initially the long-run equilibrium is at a price of $5 per pound of turkey and a quantity of 50 million pounds per year. now, when webmd claims that a protein found in turkey will increase your expected lifespan by 4 years. the consumers demand for turkey will increase at every price shifting the demand curve to the right from d1 to d2. while, there will be no change in the supply curve in the short-run as it is not possible for producers to adjust supply so quickly. as a result the new equilibrium will occur at a higher price and a higher quantity of turkey.

thus, in the short run firms will respond by increasing the price of turkey, selling more quantity at a higher price and earning economic profits.
