a donut shop charges customers the same price. the profit maximising output is 100 at a price of 5$ per donut. marginal cost is 2$. The donut shop owner now discovers that it has two very different types of customer children and adults . It can maximise its profits by selling 30 donuts to children for a price of 4$ per donut and 70 donuts per evening to everyone else for a price of 6$ per donut. Draw a diagram showing the profit-maximising price and output a) when all customers are charged the same price and b) when children are charged a different price c)How much profit does the donut shop owner make when children are charged a different price? explain how to draw the diagrams also in detail please!
