6............150
3............250
a. Is demand elastic in the $3 - $6 price range?
b. Ed = 0.8 in the $6 - $10 price range. In this range of demand, by what percentage would quantity demanded change if price changes by 5 percent?
c. Price falls from $15 to $10. Does total revenue (TR) increase, decrease, or remain the same?
6. (TCO B) For a given labor supply, would the potential unemployment impact of an increase in the minimum wage be greater in the case of elastic or inelastic demand for labor? Explain why, using hypothetical numbers to illustrate your case.
7.

(TCO C) Answer the next question on the basis of the following cost data for a purely competitive seller:
Total Product TFC TVC
0 $150 $0
1 150 70
2 150 120
3 150 150
4 150 220
5 150 300
6 150 390
Refer to the above data. If the product price is $95, at its optimal output will the firm realize an economic profit, break even, or incur an economic loss? How much will the profit or loss be? Show all calculations.
9.
(TCO C) Answer the next question on the basis of the following cost data for a purely competitive seller:
Total Product TFC TVC
0 $50 $0
1 50 70
2 50 120
3 50 150
4 50 220
5 50 300
6 50 390
Refer to the above data. If the product price is $60, at its optimal output will the firm realize an economic profit, break even, or incur an economic loss? How much will the profit or loss be? Show all calculations
10. (TCO C) A firm has Total Costs (TC) of $12,000 over the next three months (TOTAL for the 3 months - not per month), of which $8,000 are fixed costs (TFC) for rent on its lease that cannot be broken. If it stays in business over those months, then the firm will collect only $6,000 in revenues (TR). So, considering only this information, should they stay in business for those three months, or should they close down right now? Provide your reasoning.
