The following graph shows Sparkle's demand curve, marginal-revenue (MR) curve, average-total-cost (ATC) curve, and marginal-cost (MC) curve.
Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate Sparkle's profit-maximizing output and price.
True or False: Sparkle's profit is zero.

Suppose that Spacely Sprockets' marginal cost of a jacket is a constant $150 and the total fixed cost at one of its stores is
$3,000 a day. This particular store seils 40 jackets a day, which is its profit-maximizing number of jackets. The nearby
stores begin to advertise their jackets. The Spacely Sprockets store now spends $1,500 a day advertising its jackets, and its
profit-maximizing number of jackets sold jumps to 50 a day. What happens to the price of a Spacely Sprockets' jacket,
Spacely Sprockets' markup, and Spacely Sprockets' economic profit?

- Suppose that Tommy Hilfiger's marginal cost of a jacket is $200 and at one of the firm's shops, total fixed cost is $500 a day. The profit maximizing number of jackets sold in this shop is 30 a day. Then the shops nearby from other retailers start advertising their jackets. The Tommy Hilfiger shop decides to spend $1,000 a day advertising its jackets, and its profit maximizing number of jackets sold jumps to 60 a day. Before advertising: Suppose that the price elasticity of demand is 2. Can you compute the price of a Tommy Hilfiger jacket? And the markup?

- 3. A Tennis Club has asked you to devise a profit-maximizing pricing strategy. It is known that a typical player's demand is given by P =40-20, where P is the price of 1 hour court time on the club's indoor tennis court, and Q is the number of hours of court time an individual player would demand during the tennis season. The marginal cost of 1 hour of court time is $2 and that fixed costs are practically zero. a) Calculate the profit-maximizing price and Tennis Club's profits (per player) assuming a per-unit price is charged each customer. b) Determine the profit-maximizing price and Tennis Club's profits (per player) assuming a two-part pricing strategy is adopted for each customer. Your answers: a) per-unit price strategy price profits b) two-part pricing strategy price profitsarrow_forwardThe following graph shows the dally demand curve for blkes in Denver.

- Del's and Rodney's are two plumbing services in a gentrifying area of South East London. Within the area they service, the two firms operate as a duopoly and together serve one hundred percent of the available local market.
