Assuming that the product's price is P58 per pack, should the competitor sell in the short-run Why or why not? If it decides to sell, what will be the profit-maximizing (or loss-minimizing output per day)? What is the profit (or loss) that the seller can realize per day? What is the profit (or loss) per pack? A. Assuming that the product price is P42 per pack, answer the same questions in letter A. B. Because of increasing sellers of masks in the market, the product's price further decreased to P32 per pack. Again, answer the same questions in letter A.
