- 10 ATC ATC2 ATC3 ATC, 2 2 4 6 8 10 Quantity (thousands of copies per day) A copy shop is choosing between four different operational sizes (ie, plant size). The average total cost curve for each option is shown in the graph. If the market demand for copies is 12,000 copies per day, how many copy shops would you expect to see in this market? The answer depends on the price of a copy, which is unknown. O 1 (because the copy shop will become a monopoly with a large quantity demanded) O (because the copy shop can't produce 12,000 copies efficiently and will shutdown) 3 (with each shop supplying 4000 copies per day) 8, 6 Average cost (cents per copy)What is the profit margin for this firm at a quantity of eight?FITnest is one of the few fitness centers serving the greater area. The gym has been open for 3 years. It charges a flat price of $25 per visit to its clients, and the firm’s current average cost of production is $10 per visit.

Provide an explanation of what price discrimination is and give them an example of how they could use group pricing in their climbing gym business. Explain how group pricing works to increase their profit. b) Given the current situation in the market for fitness in the area, would you expect to see competitors enter or exit the market? Explain. c) Given the current market conditions, what would you predict to observe in the long run with respect to the demand for…

Calculate the total revenue for each of these production levels. Then, on the following graph, use the green points (triangle symbol) to plot the results. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 6 versus 5 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced. The marginal revenue of the sixth unit produced is________. Calculate the total revenue if the firm produces 12 versus 11 units. Then, calculate the marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced. The marginal revenue of the 12th unit produced is_________.
