Suppose a drug company cannot prevent resale between rich and poor countries and increases output from 3
million (serving only the rich country with a price of $80 per treatment) to 9 million (serving both the rich and the poor
countries with a price of $30 per treatment). Marginal cost is constant and equal to $10 per treatment in
both countries.
The marginal revenue per treatment of increasing output from 3 million to 9 million is equal to
○ A. $20 per treatment, which is greater than the marginal cost of $10 per treatment and thus implies that profits
will rise.
○ B. $20 per treatment, which is greater than zero and thus implies that profits will rise.
○ C. $30 per treatment, which is greater than the marginal cost of $10 per treatment and thus implies that profits
will rise.
○ D. $5 per treatment, which is less than the marginal cost of $10 per treatment and thus implies that profits will
fall.
○ E. $30 per treatment, which is less than the marginal revenue of $80 per treatment…

Production Costs Clean 'n' Shine is a competitor to Spotless Car Wash. Like Spotless, it must pay $150 per day for each automated line it uses. But Clean 'n' Shine has been able to tap into a lower-cost pool of labor, paying its workers only $100 per day. Clean 'n' Shine's production technology is given in the following table.

Elasticity and the Minimum Wage - The following graph depicts two labor markets for cashiers. We assume the same supply curve (cashiers respond similarly to wage offers in each city) but different demand functions (employer demand is more elastic – more responsive to wages - in one city than the other, perhaps because one has higher quality retail stores than the other). The y-axis shows hourly wages in dollars; the x-axis shows the number of employees in hundreds.
