In reference to the attached chart, I was supposed to calculate the bundle prices and net profits. I got assistance, and here is the feedback: The Satisfying Smoothie's net profit is 10.00 - 5.00 = 5.00. The Hydration Power Drink's net profit is 7.00 - 3.00 = 3.00. How is the net profit for Hydration Power Drink 3.00, when 7-3= 4? And Why would it be 7-3, and not 7-6?

Andrea’s Day Spa began to offer a relaxing aromatherapy treatment. The firm 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?

A publisher has the following table of demand for the next novel by one of its famous authors: Price Number of novel in demand 100 0 90 1 80 2 70 3 60 4 50 5 40 6 30 7 20 8 10 9 0 10 The author is paid $2 to write the book (Fixed Cost or FC) and the marginal cost (MC) of publishing it is a constant $10 per book. a) Calculate the total revenue, total cost, and corresponding profits for each quantity. What quantity would a profit-maximizing publisher choose? What price would he set? b) Calculate marginal revenue. How does marginal revenue compare to price? Explain. c) Plot the marginal revenue (MR), marginal cost (MC), and demand (D) curves. At what quantity do the marginal revenue and marginal cost curves intersect? What does this mean? d) Obtain the economic profits (EP) of this monopolist and graph.

Raphael's hair salon is a monopoly in a small town and is currently earning an economic profit. Assume that new hair salons enter the market and that the market becomes monopolistically competitive. a) The entry of new hair salons creates close substitutes for each individual salon's services. As a result, will the demand for Raphael's hair salon become more elastic or become less elastic, or will there be no change in the elasticity? b) Will the entry cause the demand curve for Raphael's haircuts to shift to the left, shift to the right, or stay the same?

(a) Does a monopolistically competitive firm have an incentive to produce at the level of output that minimizes the average total cost at the long run equilibrium? Explain with a diagram. (b) Suppose CLP Holdings Limited is a natural monopolist with constant marginal cost. Draw a diagram to indicate the profit-maximizing level of output, the profit-maximizing price, and the size of the profit. If the government wants to increase the market efficiency through price regulation, would you suggest the government setting the price equal to the firm’s marginal cost or its average total cost? Explain in detail with the diagram in part (i).
