a donut shop charges customers the same price. the profit maximising output is 100 at a price of 5$ per donut. marginal cost is 2$. The donut shop owner now discovers that it has two very different types of customer children and adults . It can maximise its profits by selling 30 donuts to children for a price of 4$ per donut and 70 donuts per evening to everyone else for a price of 6$ per donut. Draw a diagram showing the profit-maximising price and output a) when all customers are charged the same price and b) when children are charged a different price c)How much profit does the donut shop owner make when children are charged a different price? explain how to draw the diagrams also in detail please!
Please no written by hand solution Considerthe following problem. There are five firms producing a homogenous good and competing in quantities simultaneously. The demand function for this good is given by D(p) = 100−p, where p denotes price. The marginal cost is the same for all firms and equals 40 Answer the following questions. (a) Compute the equilibrium quantities and profits of each firm. (b) Now suppose that two of these firms (say firms 1 and 2) want to merge. (The remaining firms stay unchanged.) Merging, however, is costly. To merge, each merging firm has to pay a fixed cost F. Determine the highest fixed cost F that the two firms would be willing to pay in order to proceed with the merger.

If Soltani factory produces 1000 pieces of products, its total cost is equal to 50,000 monetary units, and if it produces 2,000 pieces of the same product, its total cost is equal to 80,000 monetary units. If each product is sold at a price of 40 monetary units, it is desirable: a. By drawing a diagram, specify the breaking point for it. B. If we want to make a profit equal to 20,000 units by selling 2500 pieces of product, what should be the variable cost? Use equations below: F Profit(P) = pQ - (F + vQ) TR=pQ TC=F+vQ Q=F/(p-v)

The graph below shows the cost curves for a typical restaurant in this industry. (a) Draw a demand curve and an MR that is consistent with this market being in Stage 2 equilibrium. (b) Show the equilibrium price Now suppose an highly-infectious new virus comes to the island, causing demand for restanrant meals to shift in. (c) What would you expect this change in restaurant demand when the number of firms is fixed? Explain. (d) What would you expect the change in demand to do to the number of meals sold, prices and profits of firms in the long run if firms can enter and exit? What happens to the mumber of restaurants?
