Delilah's Daisies is a flower shop operating in the perfectly competitive flower industry. Delilah's chooses the optimal quantity of bouquets to sell by setting marginal revenue equal to marginal cost, which occurs when the quantity of bouquets is 10. At that quantity, Delila's average variable costs are $3 and average fixed costs are $4. If the price of a boquet is $6, what strategy is both feasible and optimal for Delilah in the short run? O Shut down and pay fuxed costs Operate with a loss. O Shut down and pay variable costs. O Operate with a profit.

Suppose that Roots' marginal cost of a jacket is a constant $75.00 and the total fixed cost at one of its stores is $2,000 a day. This store sells 25 jackets a day, which is its profit-maximizing number of jackets. Then the stores nearby start to advertise their jackets. The Roots store now spends $1,000 a day advertising its jackets, and its profit-maximizing number of jackets sold jumps to 75 a day. What is this store's average total cost of a jacket sold before the advertising begins and after the advertising begins. >>> Answer to 2 decimal places. Can you say what happens to the price of a Roots jacket, Roots' markup, and Roots' economic profit? Before the advertising begins, the average total cost of a jacket sold in this store is $ After the advertising begins, the average total cost of a jacket sold in this store is $ If the nearby firms' advertising decreases the demand for Roots' jackets and makes the demand more elastic, the price of a Roots' jacket If Roots' advertising…

Calvin grows beautiful orchids. His total fixed cost is $90 a day, and his average variable cost is $2 a plant. Few people know about Calvin's Orchids and he is maximizing his profit by selling 18 orchids a day for $7 a plant. Calvin thinks that if he spends $20 a day on advertising, he can increase his market and sell 48 orchids a day for $7 a plant. If Calvin advertises will his average total cost increase or decrease at the quantity produced? If Calvin advertises and as a result he sells 48 orchids a day for $7 a plant, his O A. average total cost decreases if total cost decreases, and increases if total cost increases average total cost does not change at the quantity produced O B. O C. average total cost increases at the quantity produced O D. average total cost decreases at the quantity produced
