Suppose a u. s.-made machine costs $500 and the exchange rate is 100 yen = $1. a japanese citizen purchasing this machine would pay:

When a machine is in US dollar and a Japanese needs to pay in Yen, the amount should be converted into Yen.

A US Made machine cost $500

Exchange rate : 100 Yen = $1

In order to purchase the machine, a Japanese needs to pay:

= Cost of the machine in dollars × Yen per dollar

= $500 × 100

= 50,000 yen

Therefore, a machine of $500 will cost a Japanese in 50,000 Yen.

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.
