) Since Fall of 2011, the price of oil has shown a sharp increaseagain as continuation steady rise in oil price attributed to theArab Spring (the political uprising in the Middle Eastern and NorthAfrican countries) started in the beginning of 2011. This upwardtrend of oil price has been further triggered by the recent tensionin Iran on its Nuclear proliferation and the threat of blocking theoil export through the Harmuz Strait. Accordingly, many analysts inthe energy field have predicted the likelihood of rise in oil priceup to $5/gallon by coming summer in the US market.

Given the circumstances above about the oil market, draw an AS/ADdiagram, which shows the effect on the US macro-economy of expectedoil price @ $130+ per barrel versus the oil price at $100+ perbarrel (in the beginning of 2012). In your explanation in wordsabout the diagram, you must clearly explain the connection betweenchanges in oil price and the fluctuations in macroeconomicfundamentals in the US economy. Then show the impact of continuousrise oil price on the US economy by using the AD-AS model duringthe recovery period of the economy from its great recession of2008. (The most recent price of crude oil is about$104+/barrel).

Label your diagram clearly and explain how higher oil prices impacteither AS, AD or both.

Finally, explain why sharp rise in oil prices might not necessarilyhave negative or positive impact on the US equity markets even atthe current trend of volatile oil prices.
4 pts.
Note: Keep in mind that the oil price is not the same as the pricelevel in macroeconomics diagrams, even though the changes in oilprice indirectly affect the general price level (such as CPI andGDPD). You do not necessarily need to draw the diagram for oilmarket to answer this question. However, drawing of macroeconomicmodel of AD-AS behavior impacted by the changes in oil price isrequired.

It is stated that we always produce where Marginal Cost (MC) equals Marginal Revenue (MR) because that is where our Profit Maximizing (or Loss Minimizing) point is.

1.Tell me why we always produce where MC=MR, what would we do if MC is less than MR (i.e. increase or decrease production and why), and what we do if MC is greater than MR (i.e. increase or decrease production and why).

2.Tell me why in a Perfect Competition Model MR is equal to the price but in a Monopoly and a Monopolistic Model MR is less than price.

3.In a Monopoly and a Monopolistic Model we just said MR is less than price. Then if we are a producer and have found out how much to produce to maximize profit how do we determine what price to sell our product?

4.Once we find our Profit Maximizing point, and determined our price and how many to produce, how do we determine if we are making a profit or making a loss?
