(d) Regardless of the answers you have obtained above, for the remainder of the question, assume that Apple's total cost for producing iPhones is given by C(y) = 16y²+25. Derive and plot on a diagram the following cost functions for Apple: average cost, average variable cost, and marginal cost. Be sure to solve for and clearly label the level of y where average cost attains on minimum on your graph. (e) Suppose Apple is operating in a perfectly competitive market where it takes the price of iPhones as given. If the price of iPhones is p = 320, how many iPhones will Apple choose to supply to the market if it makes this decision by choosing y to maximize profit? As long as Apple can sell the iPhone for some price greater than zero, will it ever short di (f)
