Suppose that Tommy Hilfiger's marginal cost of a jacket is a constant $100 and at one of the firm's shops, total fixed cost is $2,000 a day. The profit-maximizing number of jackets sold in this shop is 20 a day. When the shops nearby start to advertise their jackets, this Tommy Hilfiger shop spends $2,000 a day advertising its jackets, and its profit-maximizing number of jackets sold jumps to 50 a day. What happens to Tommy's markup and its economic profit? Why? Tommy's markup A. rises, falls, or remains unchanged depending on the effect of advertising on demand OB. falls because advertising decreases demand OC. rises because advertising increases demand OD. does not change because advertising is generally ineffective Search In the short run, Tommy's economic profit ** A. is unknown, zero OB. decreases with advertising, zero OC. increases with advertising, positive OD. is unknown, positive In the long-run, Tommy's economic profit is Next
2. A ski resort faces daily demand given by p = a - Q, where a varies from day to day. Over a three- day period, a takes on the values 80.100, and 120. The marginal cost is zero. The fixed cost for the three-day period is $2500. If the firm uses dynamic pricing, it changes its price every day to maximize profit. If it uses non-dynamic pricing, it sets the same price for all three days, assuming that a takes on its average value of 100 each day. Calculate the consumer surplus and the firm's profit over the three-day period under each pricing approach.
The figure below shows the demand (D, MR) and cost (MC, ATC) curves for the Hand Made Shirt Shop operating in the monopolistically competitive personalized sweatshirts industry. Price per unit Number of personalized sweatshirts MC 18 0 MR D 50 70 75 Units of output ATC According to the figure above, what is the minimum fixed cost consistent with the firm choosing to remain open in the short run? a. $1,150 b. The firm would continue to operate regardless of the level of fixed costs. c. $1,250 d. $100
