Andreas Day Spa began to offer a relaxing aromatherapy treatment. The film asks you how much to charge to maximize profits. The first two columns in Table 10.5 provide the price and quantity for the demand curve for treatments. The third column shows its total costs. For each level of output, calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. What is the profit-maximizing level of output for the treatments and how much will the firm earn in profits?
How does a monopolistic competitor choose its profit-maximizing quantity of output and price?
Ajax Cleaning Products is a medium-sized firm operating in an industry dominated by one large firmâ€”Tile King. Ajax produces a multiheaded tunnel wall scrubber that is similar to a model produced by Tile King. Ajax decides to charge the same price as Tile King to avoid the possibility of a price war. The pnce charged by Tile King is $20,000. Ajax has the following short-run cost curve: TC=800,0005,000Q+100Q2 Compute the marginal cost curve for Ajax. Given Ajaxs pricing strategy, what is the marginal venue function for Ajax? Compute the profit-maximizing level of output for Ajax. Compute Ajaxs total dollar profits.
