ADJ Enterprises produces hydrothermocorticoids. The table below shows the costs of producing various quantities of hydrothermocorticoids. Quantity Total Cost Average Cost 0 $0 -- 1 $10 $10.00 2 $12 $6.00 3 $15 $5.00 4 $19 $4.75 5 $24 $4.80 6 $30 $5.00 7 $45 $6.43 ADJ sells its hydrothermocorticoids for $5 each (that is the price regardless of the number of hydrothermocorticoids it sells). Use the Profit-Maximizing Rule to explain the quantity that ADJ should produce to maximize its profits. You may use a calculator. You should explain the details of any calculation you perform. You should identify, explain, and apply the concept you use to answer this question. To receive full credit, your explanation must show all steps in any calculations you perform. Your explanation must also incorporate the profit-maximizing rule – state what that rule is and explain how it applies to ADJ’s situation. Note that it is…

Suppose that a well-known scientific fiction writer finishes a new book. The writer’s publisherfinds the demand curve for this new book is given by Q = 4200 − 200P, where P is its price. It will cost $2000 to set the book in type. This setup cost is necessary before any copies can be printed. In addition to the setup cost, there is a marginal cost of $8 per book for every book printed. Assume that the publisher wants to maximize the profit from this new book, and considers them-selves as a monopoly.(a) Write down the total revenue (TR(Q)), as a function of the quantity (Q).(b) Write down the total cost (TC(Q)), as a function of the quantity (Q)

2. Individual Problems 14-2 A local Pilates studio recently began offering a monthly subscription service for its patrons. Suppose a particular patron at this studio has the following willingness-to-pay schedule, per session. Session Willingness to Pay 1st $77 2nd $66 3rd $55 4th $44 5th $33 6th $22 Suppose this consumer would not demand any more sessions, even for free. Also assume that the marginal cost to the studio, per session, is constant at $11. At a price of $71.50 per session, the number of sessions demanded by this consumer would be . At this price and quantity, consumer surplus is $ and producer surplus is $ . Suppose the studio has devised a new pricing scheme for consumers who demand more than 1 session. This pricing scheme is a subscription service, whereby consumers can pay a flat fee of $237.60 and can have up to 6 sessions total. Using this subscription pricing model, this consumer would demand sessions. Under this scenario, consumer surplus is $ and producer…
