The following graph shows the marginal cost ( MCMC ), average total cost ( ATCATC ), and average variable cost ( AVCAVC ) curves for a typical firm in the industry.A friend has just started up her own business. Her firm asks you how much to charge for her product to maximize profits. The demand schedule for it is given by the first two columns in the table below; its total costs are given in the third column. For each level of output, you can calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. The profit-maximizing level of output can be found at the point where TR - TC is greatest, or where MR = MC, (or the last quantity where MR is still greater than MC.) What is the profit-maximizing level of output for her product? 40 How much will she earn in profits? 80 Price Quantity TC TR? MR?

I propose to eliminate this problem by raising the price of the magazine to $3.00 per issue. This will result in our revenue being exactly equal to our cost." Refer to the table above, which of the following statements is correct? The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is perfectly elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is unit elastic. The publisher's analysis is correct only if the demand is perfectly inelastic.
