The graph below shows the demand curve for a perfectly competitive firm. Suppose that firms in this industry discover a way to differentiate their products. Using the line drawing tool, show how the firm's demand curve would be likely to change. Label the new demand curve 'd,'. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects. Since the demand curve is downward sloping, the monopolistically competitive firm will set a price OA. that is less than marginal cost. B. that is unrelated to marginal cost. OC. that is equal to marginal cost. D. that is greater than marginal cost. Price 10- Q Q Output 10

Andreas Day Spa began to offer a relaxing aromatherapy treatment. The film asks you how much to charge to maximize profits. The first two columns in Table 10.5 provide the price and quantity for the demand curve for treatments. The third column shows its total costs. For each level of output, calculate total revenue, marginal revenue, average cost, and marginal cost. What is the profit-maximizing level of output for the treatments and how much will the firm earn in profits?
