3. Profit maximization using total cost and total revenue curvesSuppose Rian operates a handicraft pop-up retail shop that sells rompers. Assume a perfectly competitive market structure for rompers with a marketprice equal to $20 per romper.THThe following graph shows Rian's total cost curve.Use the blue points (circle symbol) to plot total revenue and the green points (triangle symbol) to plot profit for rompers for quantities zero throughseven (including zero and seven) that Rian produces.TOTAL COST AND REVENUE (Dollars)200175150125100755025-25DO01235QUANTITY (Rompers)46Total Cost78Total RevenueProfit? Calculate Rian's marginal revenue and marginal cost for the first seven rompers they produce, and plot them on the following graph.

MelCo’s Xamoff The global pharmaceuticals giant, MelCo, has had great success with Xamoff, and over-thecounter medicine that reduces exam-related anxiety. A patent currently protects Xamoff from competition, although rumors persist that similar products are in development. Two years ago, MelCo sold 25 million units for a price of $10 for a package of ten. Last year it raised the price to $11, and sales fell to 22 million units. Finally, a financial analyst estimates the cost of production at $2 per package. (a) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $10. Is this price too high or too low? (b) Estimate the elasticity of demand for this product at $11. Is this price too high or too low? (c) Based on your answers to (a) and (b), what can we say about MelCo’s profit-maximizing price?

A perfectly competitive firm sells its good for $20. If marginal cost is four times the quantity produced, how much does the firm produce? Why? Assuming perfect competition, there is not enough information to determine how much the firm is producing. Assuming perfect competition, the firm is producing where MC is twice MR. If the price is $20, then MC is $40. This means that the firm is producing 10 units. Assuming perfect competition, the firm is producing where MR = MC. If the price is $20 and MC is four times the quantity, it is producing 80 units. Assuming perfect competition, the firm is producing where MR = MC = P. Since price is $20, MR is $20. If MC is 4 times the quantity, it is producing 5 units.
Henry Potter owns the only well in town that produces clean drinking water. He faces the following demand, marginal revenue, and marginal cost curves:Demand: P = 70 – QMarginal revenue: MR = 70 – 2QMarginal cost: MC = 10 + Qa) Graph these three curves. Assuming that Mr. Potter maximizes profit, what quantity does he produce? What price does he charge? Show these results on your graph.b) Mayor George Bailey, concerned about water consumers, is considering a price ceiling that is 10 percent below the monopoly price derived in part (a). What quantity would be demanded at this new price? Would the profit-maximizing Mr. Potter produce that amount? Explain. (Hint: Think about marginal cost.)c) George’s Uncle Billy says that a price ceiling is a bad idea because price ceilings cause shortages. Is he right in thiscase? What size shortage would the price ceiling create? Explain.d) George’s friend Clarence, who is even more concerned about consumers, suggests a price ceiling 50 percent below…

A faculty member sells Gatorade at football games. He finds that if he raises his selling price by $1, he sells 6 less bottles each week. He turns over the operation to a Managerial Economics student for a week. The goal is to maximize revenue since the faculty member has a vast supply of Gatorade, and any unsold bottles can be sold in future weeks. The student takes over the operation for a week. She says she sold at the revenue-maximizing price of $4 per bottle. How many units sold? Show your work/thought process
