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?

Exercise A.13. Explain and graph the long-run equilibrium of a monopolistic firm and that of a perfectly competitive firm. Compare both situations in terms of the level of production, prices and economic efficiency.
Please dont copy and paste the answers One of your former peers starts up a firm after graduating NYUAD. However, he didn’t take Markets so is unsure if he is behaving optimally. He’s asked you for help. His firm faces monopolistic competition, has diminishing returns to its inputs and uses a fixed input. He is producing at a quantity such that P=MC, and he makes a positive profit. a. Draw the Demand curve, MR, MC, and ATC reflecting this situation on a graph. Label the quantity, price and profit of the firm under his strategy. b. Is his strategy maximizing his profits? Explain how he would do so if not. Label the quantity, price and profit of the firm under the optimal strategy on your graph in part a. c. He asks you about what you predict might happen to his profits in the future. What do you expect will happen to profits in this industry as we go to long run and why? What is the key assumption of monopolistic competition that gives you your conclusion?
