Table A illustrate the demand and costs information of a monopolistic competitive firm. a. If the firm maximizes profit, what will be the level of output and price? Use a table to illustrate your answer. b. How much economic profit is the firm making? c. Is the firm operating in a short run or long run? Why?The following production function describes the output of a local Pittsburgh mime troupe's performances given the labor of its performers: q = 217 where q denotes the hours of performances provided and I denotes hours of labor input by performers. The troupe is a price-taker both for performances (which sell for P) and for performers (which can be hired at the wage rate of w per hour). What is the total cost function [C (q)] for the troupe? b. Solve for the profit maximizing number of performer hours [(P, w)], i.e., the troupe's demand for labor. What is the profit function [x(P, w)] for this troupe? Describe the homogeneity of the profit function with respect to P and w. C. What is the supply function [q(P, w)] for the troupe's mime performances? d Use the envelope theorem (Shephard's Lemma) and the profit function you found in part (b) to double check your derivation of the troupe's demand for labor function [1(P, w)].4. Suppose Slava's utility function is U(:1:1,3:2) = (3:1)4 (3:2) and his budget constraint is plwl + p232 = I. (a) Find the formula for an indifference curve that yields some utility c. Graph it. (b) Solve for the MRS at any bundle ($1,232) (using marginal utilities). (c) Now, calculate MRS at any bundle ($1,222) by directly evaluating the slope of an indifference curve and show that your answer is the same as in part (b). (Hint: After taking the derivative of an arbi- trary indifference curve, think about what \"c\" means and substitute appropriately). (d) Briey interpret how the MRS changes along an indifference curve
