Consider the following: The profit-maximizing price charged for goods produced is $20. The intersection of the marginal-revenue and marginal-cost curves occurs where output is 12 units and marginal cost is $9. Average total cost for 12 units of output is $7. What is the monopolist's profit under these conditions? Select one: O a. $156 cross out O b. $112 cross out O c. $20 cross out O d. $80 cross out

(Q1) Many software companies, after years of providing unlimited free telephone technical support for their products, began to charge for these services (typically after an initial start-up period of 90 days). Most companies offer two pricing plans. For instance, Lotus Development offers users of their spreadsheet software the option of paying either (i) $2.00 per minute for telephone support or (ii) a $129 flat charge for a year of unlimited toll-free calls. Question 1: Consider a customer with a yearly (expected) demand for service support of P = 11 – 0.1Q, where P is the price per minute and Q is the number of minutes of calls made per year. How many calls would this customer make under plan (i)? Why? How many calls would he or she make under plan (ii)? What would be the annual cost to this customer under each plan? Explain your answer. Question 2: Which plan would this customer choose? Explain your answer.

The following graph gives the labor market for laboratory aides in the imaginary country of Episteme. The equilibrium hourly wage is $10, and the equilibrium number of laboratory aides is 150. Suppose the federal government of Episteme has decided to institute an hourly payroll tax of $4 on laboratory aides and wants to determine whether the tax should be levied on the workers, the employers, or both (in such a way that half the tax is collected from each party). Use the graph input tool to evaluate these three proposals. Entering a number into the Tax Levied on Employers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the demand curve down by the amount you enter, and entering a number into the Tax Levied on Workers field (initially set at zero dollars per hour) shifts the supply curve up by the amount you enter. To determine the before-tax wage for each tax proposal, adjust the amount in the Wage field until the quantity of labor supplied equals the quantity of labor demanded.…
