1 Mario owns a wood-fired pizza shop which imitates traditional Italian methods. She uses a unique sauce that attracts a loyal following of customers. The demand for her pizzas is q = 1650 – 250p, and her costs are TC 0.72+0.0035q. q is the number of pizzas sold per week, TC(q) is Maria's weekly total cost, and p is the price of a pizza. a) What price and output will Maria choose to maximize profits? b) Maria returns to college and asks her cousin Victor to manage her pizza business. Victor faces the same demand and cost conditions as Maria, but he decides to maximize revenue. What price and output should he choose?

1. The demand for labor Consider Live Happley Fields, a small player in the strawberry business whose production has no individual effect on wages and prices. Live Happley's production schedule for strawberries is given in the following table: Labor Input Total Output (Number of workers) (Pounds of strawberries) 0 0 1 16 2 30 3 42 4 52 5 60 Suppose that the market wage for strawberry pickers is $200 per worker per day, and the price of strawberries is $15 per pound. On the following graph, use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot Live Happley's labor demand curve when the output price is $15 per pound. Note: Remember to plot each point between the two integers. For example, when the number of workers increases from 0 to 1, the marginal revenue product of the first worker should be plotted with a horizontal coordinate of 0.5, the value halfway between 0 and 1. Line segments will automatically connect the points. WAGE RATE (Dollars per worker) 300 270 240 210 180 150 120 90 60 30 0 0…

Eva runs a small bakery in the village of Roggerli. She is debating whether she should extend her hours of operation. Eva figures that her sales revenue will depend on the number of additional hours the bakery is open as shown in the table above. She would have to hire a worker for those hours at a wage rate of $12 per hour. Refer to Table 1-1. Using marginal analysis, how many hours should Eva extend her bakery's hours of operations? 2 hours 3 hours 4 hours 5 hours
The following graph plots daily cost curves for a firm operating in the competitive market for fitness trackers. Hint: Once you have positioned the rectangle on the graph, select a point to observe its coordinates. PRICE(Dollars pertracker) 100 90 70 60 50 40 20 10 0 0 MO ATC AVC 50 60 70 80 10 20 30 40 QUANTITY (Thousands of trackers per day) 90 100 Profit or Loss In the short run, given a market price equal to $45 per tracker, the firm should produce a daily quantity of trackers. On the preceding graph, use the blue rectangle (circle symbols) to fill in the area that represents profit or loss of the firm given the market price of $45 and the quantity of production from your previous answer. Note: In the following question, enter a positive number regardless of whether the firm earns a profit or incurs a loss. The rectangular area represents a short-run thousand per day for the firm.
The blue curve on the follovwing graph represents the demand curve facing a firm that can set its own prices. Use the graph input tool to help you answer the following questions. You will not be graded on any changes you make to this graph. Note: Once you enter a value in a white field, the graph and any corresponding amounts in each grey field will change accordingly. Graph Input Tool Market for Goods 250 225 I Quantity Demanded 25 200 (Units) 175 Demand Price (Dollars per unit) 125.00 150 125 100 75 Demand 50 25 30 QUANTITY (Units) 5 10 15 20 25 35 40 45 50 On the graph input tool, change the number found in the Quantity Demanded field to determine the prices that correspond to the production of 0, 10, 20, 25, 30, 40, and 50 units of output.

At the given wage and price level, Blewitt's should hire Suppose that the price of blueberries decreases to $12 per pound, but the wage rate remains at $118. On the previous graph, use the purple points (diamond symbol) to plot Blewitt's labor demand curve when the output price is $12 per pound. Now Blewitt's should hire when the output price is $12 per pound. Assuming that all blueberry-producing firms have similar production schedules, a decrease in the price of blueberries will cause the blueberry pickers to Suppose that wages decrease to $100 due to a decreased demand for workers in this market. Assuming that the price of blueberries remains at $12 per pound, Blewitt's will now hire
