Then around 150 will be made.

2020-03-04 18:15:03 UTC  

Why not 209?

2020-03-04 18:15:08 UTC  

*200

2020-03-04 18:15:12 UTC  

Lower incentive.

2020-03-04 18:15:28 UTC  

Why is this firm throwing away $250?

2020-03-04 18:15:48 UTC  

Are you assuming an arbitrary opportunity cost?

2020-03-04 18:15:52 UTC  

Like where did you get this idea

2020-03-04 18:16:33 UTC  

This is why costs matter

2020-03-04 18:17:04 UTC  

The incentive to produce more is gone, so they produce less.

2020-03-04 18:17:13 UTC  

Except they don’t

2020-03-04 18:17:21 UTC  

We’re talking about a specific example, not a model

2020-03-04 18:17:28 UTC  

So answer the specific question

2020-03-04 18:17:35 UTC  

Except they do, they're looking to get as much profit as possible. A artificially low profit ends up reducing the amount produced.

2020-03-04 18:17:45 UTC  

Why is the firm throwing away $250

2020-03-04 18:17:51 UTC  

Nnnnope

2020-03-04 18:17:55 UTC  

You’re just wrong

2020-03-04 18:18:00 UTC  

How far are you in Econ

2020-03-04 18:18:06 UTC  

250?

2020-03-04 18:18:09 UTC  

What’s the highest level class you’ve taken

2020-03-04 18:18:19 UTC  

Shut the fuck up

2020-03-04 18:18:25 UTC  

God damn y’all are annoying

2020-03-04 18:18:29 UTC  

Yes 50*5=$250

2020-03-04 18:18:45 UTC  

50 X 5?

2020-03-04 18:18:52 UTC  

Where is this 50 coming from?

2020-03-04 18:19:09 UTC  

You said the market would produce 150 for a demand of 200

2020-03-04 18:19:16 UTC  

Go to the economics chat with this

2020-03-04 18:19:17 UTC  

Yeah because of the price control

2020-03-04 18:19:24 UTC  

The previous price was $20.

2020-03-04 18:19:26 UTC  

K, why

2020-03-04 18:19:39 UTC  

Because **there is a lower incentive to produce as a result of lower prices**

2020-03-04 18:20:13 UTC  

Why?

2020-03-04 18:20:20 UTC  

> as a result of lower prices

2020-03-04 18:20:24 UTC  

Why will the market not fulfil your demand

2020-03-04 18:20:29 UTC  

Specifically why

2020-03-04 18:20:36 UTC  

Because the price is not correct.

2020-03-04 18:20:41 UTC  

Why specifically does this firm decide to stop production?

2020-03-04 18:20:48 UTC  

There's too little being produced with higher demand.

2020-03-04 18:20:48 UTC  

Why are they leaving $250 on the table

2020-03-04 18:20:55 UTC  

I don't see where this 250 is coming from

2020-03-04 18:20:59 UTC  

Lol

2020-03-04 18:21:05 UTC  

Ok, the market demands 200
