A friend has just started up her own business. Her firm asks you how much to charge for her product to maximize profits. The demand schedule for it is given by the first two columns in the table below; its total costs are given in the third column. For each level of output, you can calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. The profit-maximizing level of output can be found at the point where TR - TC is greatest, or where MR = MC, (or the last quantity where MR is still greater than MC.) What is the profit-maximizing level of output for her product? 40 How much will she earn in profits? 80 Price Quantity TC TR? MR?

Firms compete in different types of market structures. In the real world, most markets are either monopolistically competitive or oligopolistic, and a few markets have a monopoly. Note that perfect competition is rare because no market has all the characteristics of a perfectly competitive market as described by the theory of perfect competition. Explain which firm is likely to face a more elastic demand curve: a monopoly or a pizza shop?
Assume the figure on the right shows the cost structure for a monopolistically competitive firm selling a particular brand of shoes. MC is the marginal cost curve and AC is the average cost curve. If this firm produces 2 thousand pairs of shoes, does it minimize average cost? How much more would they need to produce to reach minimum average cost? The firm needs to produce an additional thousand pairs of shoes to reach minimum average cost. (Enter your response as an integer.)

Bob owns a plot of land in the desert that isn't worth much. One day, a giant meteor falls on his property. The event attracts scientists and tourists, and Bob decides to sell nontransferable admission tickets to the meteor crater to both types of visitors: scientists (Market A) and tourists (Market B). The following graphs show demand (D) curves and marginal revenue (MR) curves for the two markets. Bob's marginal cost of providing admission tickets is zero.
