A perfectly competitive firm Cat Paradise sells clothing for cats. A cat-suit sells for $72 each. The fixed costs for production are $100. The total variable costs are $64 for one suit, $84 for two suits, $114 for three suits, $184 for four suits, and $270 for five suits. a) In a table, calculate TR, MR, TC and MC for each output level (one to five suits).
Assume champagne industry has recently launched a successful marketing campaign that changes consumers’ tastes and preference for champagne. Many executives in the industry were happy about the resulting excessively high champagne prices. But some economists feared that such sharp price increases would cause demand to decline and may lead to a collapse in the champagne market. Please discuss the above situation in terms of economic theories such as demand/supply
