Fill in the blanks and circle or highlight one of the responses in the brackets, "[response a | response b]". a) If the market price of a widget is $118 and Acme produces 300 widgets, then Acme [ is | is not ] maximizing its profits because MR(300) = $_ [ ]$. = MC(300) and Acme's profits at 300 widgets are n(300) = $_ (i.e., calculate r(300)). o) If the price of a widget is $118, then Acme's profit maximizing output level, Q1*, is units and its profits at Q1* are It(Q1*) = $_ (i.e., calculate n(Q1*)). c) If the price of a widget increases to $182, then Acme's new profit maximizing output level, Q2*, is units and its profits at Q2* are It(Qz*) = $_ (i.e., calculate It(Q2*)). d) If the price decreases to $28, then Acme's profit maximizing output level, Q3*, is units and its profits at Q3* are It(Q3*) = $_ (i.e., calculate It(Q3*)).
