Organic farmers were able to switch from organic production of tomatoes to irradiated production with no additional cost. Assume that the tomato market satisfies all of the assumptions of perfect competition. As a result of the increase in the demand for tomatoes, we would predict that in the short run that the (A) production of tomatoes would be at efficient scale. (B) price of tomatoes would rise. (C) total cost for existing irradiated tomato producers must rise. (D) number of firms in the market would fall as prices fall and firms exit the market.

19. As in question 18, if the increased production of irradiated tomatoes caused a rise in the marginal transportation costs of moving irradiated tomatoes to market, the (A) short-run market supply curve for irradiated tomatoes would be affected but not the long-run market supply. (B) long-run market supply curve for irradiated tomatoes would be perfectly elastic. (C) long-run market supply of irradiated tomatoes would be downward sloping. (D) long-run market supply of irradiated tomatoes would be upward sloping.

20. Abe owns a dog; the dog's barking annoys Abe's neighbor, Jenny. Suppose that the benefit of owning the dog is worth $200 to Abe and that Jenny bears a cost of $400 from the barking.
