In equilibrium, what could be the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold

In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

Explanation:

According to the given data we have the following:

It is given that 40% laptops are in good condition. This implies that 60% are in bad condition.

In ordert to calculate the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold we would have to calculate the expected price that the buyers will be willing to pay for a  laptop as follows:

Expected price=0.60($2000)+0.40($600)

Expected price=$1,200+$240

Expected price=$1,440

As the owners of good laptops are willing to sell their laptops for $1,800, whis is more that $1,440, they will not sell their products.

This implies that only bad laptops are sold in the market. The willingless to pay for the bad laptops is $600

Therefore, In equilibrium the maximum price set for a broken laptop to be sold is $600

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.
