Gliberace's Fashion Accessories of Las Vegas produces gem-stone encrusted formal wear for sale in Los Angeles and San Francisco subject to total cost TC = 100 + 5(QLA + QSF). Demand for Gliberace's stones in the two cities is given by QLA = 70 - 2PLA and QSF = 55 - PSF. If Gliberace price discriminates between the two cities, what will its maximum profits be? $975 $750 $825 $1,175 $1,075

Consider a market with a monopoly firm. Sales revenue of this firm is $10,340,000$⁢10,340,000, total cost is $4,400,000$⁢4,400,000, and average cost is $2.00$⁢2.00. Another firm wants to enter the market and provide the same product at a lower price. To intimidate the potential competitor, the monopoly firm intends to use predatory pricing.By how much can this firm reduce the price of its product without losses? Enter your answer in the box below and round to two decimal places if necessary.
