2. A company has five salespeople and 100 sofas to sell each day. Salespeople get $ commission for each of the first 15 sofas they sell and $5 commission for each addition sofa after that. Jill is by far the best salesperson, and she usually sells 60 sofas while t other four salespeople sell only 10 each. a) If Jill's coworkers wanted to bribe her into selling only 20 sofas, what is the minimu that they'd have to offer her? b) Assuming that they would split the cost of the bribe equally, would they be willi to offer this bribe? If so, how much does each coworker gain if Jill accepts?

Suppose that you are the marketing manager of Citruscity, the only producer of grapefruits in the imaginary economy of Blockburg. As a monopolist, Citruscity's objective is to maximize its profit, so it is up to you devise a way to increase profits through price discrimination. As a former economics student, you know that many firms successfully practice price discrimination by separating their market into two identifiable types of consumers-what economists call third-degree price discrimination. Examples of this include student discounts, senior citizen discounts, and ladies' night discounts. After doing some research, you conclude that the demand for grapefruits varies greatly between consumers who clip coupons and those who do not. The following graphs show the overall dailly demand and marginal revenue (MR) for a pound of grapefruits for each group of consumers and the marginal cost (MC) for producing a pound of grapefruits. Assume that fixed costs are equal to zero. Note: You will…

16.Suppose the market for a good is composed of 1,000 identical consumers. The market's demand curve is given by QM = 150,000 – 25P. What is the equation for an individual consumer's demand curve? A) Q = 150,000,000 – 25,000P B) Q = 6,000,000 – 40P C) Q = 6- 4P D) Q = 150 –0.025 17.There are 100 consumers in the market for good X. each with a demand curve given

Assume the utility Janet obtains from consuming apples is given in table below. Number of Apples Total Utility Marginal Utility 1 7 7 2 13 6 3 18 5 4 22 4 5 25 3 6 27 2 28 1 28 0 27 -1 25 -2 7 8 9 10 a) What is the maximum satisfaction (total utility) she can obtain from consuming apples? b) Draw the graphs for Jane's total utility curve and marginal utility curve for apples c) If Janet is at her level of maximum utility from apple consumption, what will happen to her level of utility if she consumes an additional apple?
