Extracted text: The diagrams below depict the computer market with fixed prices (graph a) and flexible prices (graph b), where DL corresponds to a low level of demand for computers, DM Corresponds to a medium level of demand for computers, and DH corresponds to a high level of demand for computers. Suppose a firm is currently producing 900 computers per week and charging a price of $1,200 per computer. Flexible Prices (b) Fixed Prices (a) $1,400 C' $1,200 B DH B' $1,200 DH $900 DM DM DL 900 DL 700 900 1,150 Computers per week Computers per week of demand to of a. Suppose there is a negative demand shock, and demand unexpectedly falls from a medium demand. Assuming fixed prices, what will happen to the firm's inventory of computers? O The firm's inventories will not change. O The firm's inventories will increase by 250 computers per week. O The firm's inventories will increase by 200 computers per week. O The firm's inventories will decrease by 150 computers per week. b. Now suppose prices are flexible. How will the firm respond to a negative demand shock if demand unexpectedly falls from a medium level of demand to a low level of demand? O The firm will continue to produce 900 computers per week and charge a price of $900. O The firm will cut production to 700 computers per week and charge a price of $1,200. O The firm will cut production to 700 computers per week and charge a price of $900. O The firm will continue to produce 900 computers per week and charge a price of $1,200. Price Price
