Continue with the fishing rod market. Assume that the minimum long-run average cost of making fishing rods (including an allowance for normal profit) is $20 at an output per firm of 5,000 fishing rods and that market demand for these fishing rods is P = 50 - Q/20,000.
a) How would you predict that the short-run equilibrium that you have identified in question 1 will change? Illustrate your answer using appropriate diagrams.
b) What will be the long-run equilibrium number of fishing rod manufacturers?
