1. How does price elasticity affect the price-quantity combination and segment of the demand curve that the monopolist would prefer for price and output? one paragraph in simple words
2. Assume that the short-run cost and demand data given in the table below confront a monopolistic competitor selling a given product and engaged in a given amount of product promotion. Compute the marginal cost and marginal revenue of each unit of output and enter these figures in the table. (a) At what output level and at what price will the firm produce in the short run? What will be the total profit? (b) What will happen to demand, price, and profit in the long run? one paragraph each using simple words
3. Comment on the problem with this statement: "Of course, there are diminishing marginal returns from adding more workers to a fixed quantity of plant and equipment because additional workers are not as good as initial workers."
4. Explain the marginal revenue and marginal cost approach to profit maximization and use it to describe profit, loss, and shut down situations for the perfectly competitive firm.
