Bow Wow Bazaar is a growing firm specializing in gourmet dog food and supplies in Florida resort communities. BWB's demand and cost information are as follows:
P = 4500 - Q
MR = 4500 - 2Q
TC = 150,000 + 400Q
MC = $400
where Q is output, P is price in dollars, MR is marginal revenue, TC is total cost and MC is marginal cost. All costs include a normal return of 12% on capital investment. Show all work in your answers.
A. Determine the profit-maximizing price and output levels, and the profit earned.
B. Based on your results in Part A and assuming the firm operates in a monopolistically competitive industry, explain what will happen to this industry in the long run?
C. Determine the output level, price, and profits that will occur in long-run equilibrium. Assume a high-price, low-output scenario assuming a parallel shift of the firm's demand curve. Be sure to explain what you are doing and why. Hint: The slope of the ATC curve is -$150,000/Q2.
D. Calculate BWB's new long-run equilibrium demand curve.

How much profit does the typical firm earn
: The short-run total cost curve of a firm in a hypothetical market is given by: STC = 10Q^2 + 4Q + 100 with short-run marginal cost given by: SMC = 20Q + 4 There are 100 firms in the market. Market demand is:Qd = 500 - Pmkt

What price should you charge to maximize revenues
: Suppose you are a manager of a firm that produces products X, Y and Z. You know that there are two different types of consumers, type 1 and type 2, who value your products differently. You also know that there 10,000 type1 consumers and 50,000 typ..

Why no part of the change is due to the income effect
: If my optimal choice for two goods (cookies and milk) is different from two different weeks (for example, week one is C:8,M:16 and week two is C:16,M:16) BUT INCOME IS THE SAME throughout all weeks ($8).
